“Nicklaus Design is honored and pleased to have 18 various Nicklaus Design golf courses in this years top 100 resorts,” said Paul Stringer, Executive Vice President, Nicklaus Design. “These domestic and international golf courses for the most part are affiliated with a luxury resort or are in dramatic regions of the world. All of the golf courses have unique landscapes and are a focal point of the resort setting. Many of these Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses have hosted PGA Tour events or special tournaments on them. They are visually beautiful golf courses in gorgeous settings offering golfers a great golf experience.”
The GOLF Magazine editorial team considered 243 resorts across North America, and then conducted an online poll of 3,700 golfers to rate each resort based on golf experiences, accommodations, service, food, and ambience. The results are the Top 100 Golf Resorts in North America.
