One of the most compelling team events in recent memory was the 2019 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne. Sure, the competition was tight, and Tiger Woods was a playing captain. But one of the world’s best venues delivered riveting TV. Players had to think through each shot with a premium on precision—particularly with firm and fast conditions. It was a rare glimpse into fantastic golf course architecture at the pro level.
That’s what can really help boost the Presidents Cup to great heights. Even if the 2019 matches ended up in yet another American victory, the rare opportunity to check out one of the world’s most revered layouts was reason enough to watch. Along with all the other possible tweaks that could be made to enhance the Presidents Cup, we think selecting from the below list of stellar venues for future Presidents Cups on international soil would be a great way to boost interest. That’s not to say Royal Montreal won’t provide a thrilling backdrop for this week’s matches, and the course has a ton of history, boosting that it’s the oldest golf club in North America. But at the end of the day, the course was ranked 24th on our most recent list of the Best Courses in Canada.
We will also caveat that many of the locations on the list are a bit of long shot—with courses like Cape Kidnappers in New Zealand built on extreme terrain that would make modern prerequisites like plenty of corporate hospitality areas tough if not impossible. Still, we can dream of watching the best players in the world traversing these incredibly stellar courses.
