The World Greatest Golf Course is now entering the Sweet Sixteen.
Here is the thread to show the full pool and all the results. You decide on which is the World's Greatest Golf Course.

(1) Augusta National Golf Club
The History Of The Masters Green Jacket
The Masters Green Jacket is presented to the Masters winner in the immediate aftermath of their victory. That jacket is borrowed off an Augusta member with roughly the same build as the winner, before the champion is later measured for their own tailored version.
But when did this The Masters Green Jacket tradition begin, and why?
The Masters Green Jacket was first introduced in 1937. The idea was that Augusta National members would wear these jackets during the tournament to make them stand out to members of the public needing guidance or assistance.
It was an idea borrowed from Royal Liverpool in England when a visiting Bobby Jones attended a dinner. At this dinner, there was a collection of club captains who were all wearing matching jackets to denote their position.
The first Augusta National jackets soon followed, bought from the Brooks Uniform Company in New York. But they were not popular with the members, who found the material too thick and uncomfortable in warm weather, so they soon changed supplier.
From 1937 through to 1948 only Augusta National members wore the jackets, but in 1949 Sam Snead became the first winner to be honored with the now famous Green Jacket.

(4) Winged Foot Golf Club
In 1929 Winged Foot Golf Club hosted its first US Open. Since then the Club has hosted four more USGA National Championships, the 1997 PGA Championship, two Women’s Opens, a Senior Open and two U.S. Amateurs and the 2016 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball. In June of 2020, we will host our sixth USGA National Championship. There are few clubs in the world with Winged Foot’s history of hosting major golf events.
“Winged Foot West is on the short list of the best design jobs in the history of golf course architecture. Though the property could be described as downright ordinary with little topographical character, Winged Foot West is one strong golf hole after another with almost no let-up.”
“Walking on these Tillinghast greens, knowing the greats of the game have studied the same putts and competed in the same footsteps, adds to the greatness and timelessness of this course.”
“One of the best parkland-style golf courses in the world. Worthy of its place among the best architectural designs in golf. The back nine might be one of the most complete nine holes in golf.”
