GOLF’s 2021-22 ranking is here!

Golf has been position the world’s most effective classes for the better part of four many years. And I’d wager my very best Pinehurst No. 2 ball marker against no matter what you value in your bag that this ranking time period (in between January 2020 and now) was the most nuanced nonetheless.

GOLF’s 107 raters spread across the world dealt with Covid constraints to provide a thorough evaluate of the game’s elite venues — which includes important renovation tasks that demanded total awareness in addition to a constant supply of new patterns. Kudos to the team.

The end result is what we really feel is the smartest vote on architecture between the myriad media retailers that also price programs. Of course, stalwarts stay, but, if you glance intently at the listing, you’ll see that what was at the time deemed “great” architecture is using on a decidedly broader definition.
