The thing about rankings, to be honest, is a bit childish, about the best golf courses and blah blah blah.
For me, it's subjective. What's best for me may not be best for you. Right? That course you love so much probably isn't on the classic list, but it might be the best for you. Because of the people, the location, because it has a special charm.
I'll give you an example: I really like this one:
Cape Kidnappers
But it doesn't usually appear in the rankings... Anyway, here's a list I think you'll like. But don't take it too seriously., and then you know what happens when people take things too seriously.
Enjoy!
