I'm sure most people did not know that there was a top tier golf course in the world located in New Jersey, but when it comes to shear beauty, Pine Valley is second to none. It is relatively unknown on the global stage because it has never hosted a major tournament simply because there is not enough room for spectators to watch. It was ranked the #1 course in the World in 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2012; a very impressive accomplishment for a course in the Northeast United States. It is not as warm as some of the famous California and Florida Courses such as Pebble Beach and TPC Sawgrass which are definitely top 5 courses in the world. This par 70, 7,057 yard course has one of the best grounds keeping staffs in the world. They maintain a beautiful course that isn't publicized nearly as much as the next course, Augusta National.Augusta National Golf Club, Georgia
The Famous Augusta National Golf Club is known for one tournament and one only: The Masters. The incredible scenery, especially at Amen Corner (holes 11,12, and 13) is truly breathtaking. Every year in April, the first major of the year comes to Augusta and the players experience one of the most difficult but beautiful courses in the world. Founded by Bobby Jones, the original golf legend, the course is only 80 years old. It has obtained a rich history and numerous iconic landmarks such as the Eisenhower Tree, Ike's Pond, and Rae's Creek which can be seen in the first image to the left. These two courses have been trading the top ranking for years that it is difficult to place one above the other. However, when it comes to reputation and pure history of beauty, Augusta cannot be topped.
