Memorable overall experiences and unforgettable views characterise the top-ten layouts of our Masters champion.

Cypress Point Club - California, USA

This is my favourite golf course in the world, although I haven’t played there since 2010. For me, there’s an overall enjoyment to playing there. It’s stunning, it’s beautiful and it’s a lovely design but the overall experience of going to the club is hard to beat. I just enjoy that whole day very much. The course is absolutely the most fun to play.

 

Kingston Heath GC - Melbourne, Victoria

Kingston Heath and Royal Melbourne are absolutely brilliant golf courses. The experience is wonderful as well, but the courses are as good as anything in the world.

Royal Melbourne GC - Melbourne, Victoria

Like my previous – and next choice – I’ve been fortunate to win a tournament here (above) but I still would have chosen the three of them beforehand. But it was good motivation to try to win at these historic golf clubs.

 

New South Wales GC - Sydney, NSW

It’s a very odd golf course – you either love it or you hate it – but the overall experience of going to New South Wales is exceptional, especially in good weather. The place is stunning and still very challenging.

 

St Andrews (Old Course) - Fife, Scotland

This has to be on the list, purely for the history and how unique it is. I first played there in 1997. I was playing with Dad, but I can’t recall what score I shot that day.

 

Shinnecock Hills GC - New York, USA

Shinnecock is fantastic. Again, it’s a challenging golf course but just beautiful, sitting on Long Island on the east coast of America.

 

Twin Waters GC - Sunshine Coast, Queensland

This is essentially where I started playing golf, it’s where I got my first handicap and even now when I go back to “Twin”, it’s such a fun golf course to play and it’s always in good shape. There are lots of memories there for me, for sure.

Augusta National GC - Georgia, USA

I’ve just got to put Augusta National on the list. It’s just so much fun to play there, especially when you think of all the excitement the Masters has brought. The images of it in your mind are just so clear and then they match what you see when you’re out there.

 

Royal Adelaide GC - Adelaide, SA

I was born in Adelaide, and although I spent more of my youth living in Queensland, I grew to love Royal Adelaide. I played there again earlier this year and enjoyed that a lot. It’s a really nice track. I like it a lot.

Cape Kidnappers GC - Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand

I haven’t been there since I played the first Kiwi Challenge event in 2008, but I would go back in a heartbeat given the opportunity. I love it. Again, it’s the whole experience and I think the par-5 15th hole, which is called “Pirate’s Plank”, is one of the best in the world.
