Old Course - St. Andrews, Scotland

It's golf's Mecca, its holiest of holies: the Old Course at St. Andrews.

It's also an extremely fun golf course to play. You won't find bigger greens anywhere in the world, and the holes are generally wide open, especially to the left. More than 100 bunkers with ominous names like "Hell" and "Strath" line fairways and surround greens. The most famous might be one of the smallest - the notorious Road bunker on the 17th.

Playing St. Andrews is something special, and shows why golfers the world over consider it their sacred duty to experience it at least once.
