This quarter of GOLF's World Top 100 list are some of the most hotly contested courses out there. Some get votes as high as top 10, and others are left fully out of the best 150. In the end, the votes all average out to end up in this incredibly prestigious bucket.
Scotland's Prestwick hosted the first ever Open Championship, and has inspired holes around the world for a century.
Kawana in Japan is home to a course that we say still has the most potential of any established design in the world.
And Norway's Lofoten Links and China's Shanqin Bay jumped up the most spots of any other courses on the list.
This is an exciting part of our list, and Josh Sens and Simon Holt go deep on each. Enjoy!
