Ryder Cup: Five Courses That Should Be Future Hosts

Pacific Dunes Golf Resort 

Pacific Dunes is constantly ranked as one of the top five courses in America. A design filled with unique features and stunning views would be a delight for Ryder Cup fans and players alike.

Although the course is still fairly new, being built in 2001, it has already hosted the Curtis Cup. Therefore, it has experience with high energy, team-like events and would make a great place for the Ryder Cup.

Plus, the entire Bandon Dunes Resort features many other activities for fans to do before the tournament starts and after it ends. fans may be able to play a course like the new, Old MacDonald course and snap a picture with the already famous “Ghost Tree”.

Another thing people can do is play on the beautiful PunchBowl putting course, designed by Tom Doak. It’s a course that features many unique putting slopes and makes for a fun, quick way to get your golf fix before the big event.

Who knows, maybe you can have a “Putting Cup” with your buddies. Why not? Have your own Ryder Cup.

Like Carnoustie, the challenge with Pacific Dunes starts early, with a seventh hole that may be one of the toughest on the course. Before that, the sixth hole features a ton of options for the players, and sometimes, options can make, or a break you.

That’s just another reason why Pacific Dunes would be a fun host.
