The website Golf.com, which features golf news, gear, instruction and style, recently released its Top 100 golf courses in the world list.
When scanning the Nov. 19 Facebook Golf.com Facebook post, it might be challenging to find the golf courses represented by Florida.
There’s only one. But one is better than none and we are talking about the whole, wide world and iconic golf courses like St. Andrew’s in Scotland and Pine Valley in New Jersey, which Golf.com chose as it’s No. 1 overall best golf course on planet Earth.
Back to the Sunshine State. The pick for representing the one and only Top-100 golf course in Florida is Seminole, coming in at No. 32 overall. Not too shabby.
Seminole is on a lot of “best golf courses” list. Located in Juno Beach, Seminole is a private golf club designed by Donald Ross in 1929. Ross was the designer of the Fort Myers Country Club.
Earlier this year in the exclusive one-day Seminole Pro-Member field Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy were the headliners.
Seminole plays at 7,265 yards and has a course rating of 75.4.
