Banff Springs, Pebble Beach, Cape Kidnappers, and Old Head: four of the prettiest golf courses, and all a combination of splendid architecture and its stunning setting. True, it is easy to build a golf course in a beautiful setting—it has been done before, over and over—but building a great golf course that lives up to the setting is even harder. Thankfully, the foursome who constructed Old Head lives up to the clifftop site seemingly falling into the Atlantic, delivering a unique, one-of-a-kind experience only found here.
