The Best Golf Courses Around the World

Golfing has never been more popular and it's also among travelers' favorite activities to partake in on vacation.

One of the biggest challenges, however, can be deciding where to tee off.

Fortunately, GolfPass has revealed eight international ranking lists of the consumer-driven Golfers' Choice 2024, analyzing nearly 300,000 reviews from golfers of all ages, handicaps and budgets to determine the very best public-access golf courses in some of the game's most popular regions.

Australia is the newest to the list, joining in 2023.

In addition to Mexico and Canada, GolfPass has separated England, Wales and Scotland into their own rankings while also publishing a Great Britain and Ireland ranking that highlights the highest-rated courses in Scotland, Wales, England, Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Whether you're new to the sport or a seasoned player with countless experience, these courses can't be topped.
