Nicklaus Design captured four of the top spots in Golf Course Architecture’s annual Architect’s Choice list of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the world. Chosen by more than 240 golf course architects, the list is a peer-to-peer design evaluation. Golf course architects were free to select their favorite courses using whichever criteria they felt was most appropriate—most often cited was location, whether or not the course was a good test of golf, the putting surfaces themselves, age of the course, and fun.
