Dette er verdens 100 beste golfbaner
I hvert fall hvis vi skal tro verdens største golfmagasin, Golf Digest. Her er det de mener er de ultimate drømmebanene i verden.
Kanskje ikke så overraskende er det USA som dominerer listen med 38 baner. Du kan også få krysset av mange baner på listen ved å ta en turné på de britiske øyer: Du finner hele 20 baner på listen i enten Storbritannia eller Irland.
I Fastlands-Europa er det bare tre baner på listen: Golf de Morfontaine i Frankrike (20), Valderrama G.C. i Spania (71) og Olgiata G.C. i Italia (100).
