What Defines A Golf Course As Great?

Posted by Fred Armstrong on November 17th, 2008

What defines a golf course as great? If a golf course is filled with rich history, state of the art amenties, masterfully crafted landscapes, lush sceneries and, of course, thriving popularity, then it’s definitely among the better golf courses.

While there are many ways to decide which greens are the best among the rest, it’s challenging for anyone to determine which one to place on their ‘Best List’. Each golf player has his or her favorite pick. Another factor that contributes to the difficulty of determining the best is the enormous number of golf courses to choose from—with new ones opening up all the time.

Here are two of the best golfing greens a golf enthusiast can ever play the game of golf in. They are chosen as such not only for the level of challenge they pose on golf enthusiasts but also for those special facilities that make them an enjoyable golfing experience.

The tar heel state is not actually famous for golf. But there is one true-blue golf club outside the outskirts of a bustling city. Located on the eastern part of North Carolina, the Eagle Point Golf Club never ceases to amaze both pro and amateur golfers.

This Tom Fazio-designed par-72 golf club is complete with amenities like tennis court and swimming pool. The club takes pride in its conveniently accessible greens—you can choose to walk as you go through various holes. In addition, they have a very excellent caddie program to add to the delight of their guests.

With more than 7,000 yards of golfing grounds— with a 74.5 rating and replete with 137 slope —the Eagle Point is definitely the venue where golfers could test their mettle. Adding on to the challenge is the prevailing wind from the Atlantic Ocean. The club may look traditional, but it features some state of the art facilities. For those who want to improve golf skills, a state of the art learning center is available.

Nonetheless, Eagle Point keeps a low-profile identity. Regardless of the fact that they are underrated, they are one of the better golf locations around, what more with the town’s best year-round golf weather and beautiful private retreat for golfers and their loved ones.
