Whistling Straits is the cure for your average parkland venue, which fades into the background as a pleasant but unobtrusive platform for players’ talents. This golf course demands to be noticed.
All three par 5s should be gettable, but No. 5, with its zigzag fairway, has the greatest potential for fireworks. The longest hitters among the field can cut off as much as 100 yards by aiming seemingly impossibly far right off the tee, like Bubba Watson did during the 2015 PGA Championship.

The par-4 13 th hole should be pivotal in several matches. It’s shortish and fiddly, with a green sitting well below the landing area and a sheer drop into oblivion at its right edge.

Resort guests likely discount it as it’s the first hole to turn away from Lake Michigan, but No. 9 is a solid mid-length par 4 with a small green. If the hole is cut on the small, domed front section, it will look like it’s sitting on the roof of a Mini Cooper.

1. Woodhall Spa (Lincolnshire, England)— 7,042 yards, par 73 (rating, slope not applicable) The Hotchkin course at Woodhall Spa is one of Europe’s most revered courses. First Harry Vardon and later Harry Colt had hands in sculpting this classic heathland course from the Lincolnshire landscape.

Of course, the Ryder Cup is such a circus these days that the required infrastructure would rule out many courses. And there’s no way of knowing whether a private club could be coerced into hosting such a big event.
