The fifth hole at Japan's best course, Hirono.

Exploring the seven continents for the best courses in the world

This is our eighth edition of Planet Golf. When we began in 1999, we ranked the best courses in 100 different countries. Since then, we have greatly expanded our lists to include every golfing territory on earth. We now present course rankings for 205 individual countries, territories and dependencies, two more than our last Planet Golf edition two years ago, thanks to Azerbaijan joining the league of golfing nations, and Haiti's Pétionville Club getting back to normal after serving as a refugee camp following the massive, devastating 2010 earthquake. We have identified 40 nations bereft of golf courses (scroll to the end), including five with populations above 10 million: Iraq, Yemen, Guinea, South Sudan, and Somalia.

To create our rankings, we first compiled a large ballot of the world's best layouts, from Aamby Valley to Zimbali, and sent it to our U.S. course ranking panelists, our 27 International editions and their respective course ranking panels, and other selected people we have come to know and trust. In total, 846. knowledgeable, well-traveled golfers completed our survey, rating each course they were familiar with on a 10-point scale. This data was used to create our first ever World Top 100 Golf Course ranking, and served as a starting point for our country rankings, which were completed with the help of our panelists, our colleagues at our international editions and affiliate magazines, our network of knowledgeable golfers around the world, and copious amounts of additional research involving golf associations, tourist boards and other organizations, and, of course, the World Wide Web.

Expect future rankings to change dramatically. While many mature markets like the U.S. are facing decline—there are 500 fewer courses in America than in 2005—elsewhere there are pockets of growth, fueled by prosperity, tourism and, in two years, golf once again becoming an Olympic sport. China for instance has seen its courses triple in number in less than a decade—despite a technical government ban. The Chinese golf market will inevitably become the largest in the world.

KEY:
The number in parentheses after each country name is the approximate number of golf courses in that country.
Where a facility has more than one course, the name of the ranked course is shown in parentheses.
