Four Seasons Resort: Aviara Course 1 Four Seasons Resort: Aviara Course 1 Aviara Golf Course er beliggende nord for San Diego med udsigt over Batquitos Lagoon i Carlsbad. Både Golf Digest og Golf Magazine har udnævnt Avaria til at være én af de bedste resort-baner i Amerika. Det er en klub med faciliteterne i orden, bla. et klubhus på 3.000 m2. Aviara er i særlig grad modelleret til at indpasse sig i det eksisterende landskab. Vand hazards synes nærmest at være en naturlig forlængelse af Batquitos Lagoon. Under en runde på banen er det næste som at spille i en botanisk have. Den lokale vegetation folder sig ud i et overflødighedshorn af forskellige smukke planter. Fra flere huller er der en fantastisk udsigt over Stillehavet, der også sender drilske vinde gennem de dale, som banen bugter sig gennem. Her skal du passe på ikke at lade de mange synsindtryk forstyrre dit spil, ellers kan runden blive meget lang - banen er fra bagerste tee 6.400 meter! Banen blev åbnet i 1991 og er designet af Arnold Palmer.

CR: 69.3 Slope: 127 Fairmont: Banff Springs Course 2 Som det klart burde fremgå af billederne, er Banff Springs Course en rigtig bjergbane. Banen ligger i Alberta, Canada. Vært for 2006 Telus Skin Games med bl.a. Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, John Daly, Stephen Ames og Sergio Garcia. Det siges, at Banff Springs var den første bane, der kostede over 1 mill. $ (det var jo i 1928). Banff Springs Course er berømmet for sin smukke panoramaudsigt. Banen er beliggende i hjertet af Canada’s Rocky Mountains og har et besnærende og udfordrende layout. Banff Springs Course tilbyder to ting: En storslået udsigt i alle retninger og et pragtfuldt layout, som vil betage enhver golfspiller, der skulle være så heldig at tilbringe en dag her. De omgivende bjerge skaber optiske illusioner, der kan overraske såvel amatører som professionelle. Banen blev åbnet i 1928 og er designet af Stanley Thompson. Green Fee: 200 $.

Her besøger vi den mest kendte: Fazio Foothills. Både Golf Magazine og Golfweek har udnævnt banen til at høre blandt de bedste i USA. Situeret i det legendariske bjerglandskab i Texas Hill Country, slanger disse atten golf-huller sig gennem noget af det smukkeste terræn i verden. Man har benyttet sig af Barton Creeks vandløb, og bygget et vidunderligt udbud af vandfald, søer og åløb. Tilsammen udgør disse ikke blot et smukt landskab, men også en meget udfordrende bane. Med sine ca. 6.354 meter hører banen ikke til de allerlængste, men en del smalle fairways tæt på klippeskrænter kan med uforsigtigt spil let sætte sine spor på scorekortet. Barton Creeks golfbane er hjemsted for "Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf". Her samles hvert år de top-professionelle fra Senior P.G.A. til en af de mest berømte begivenheder på Senior Tour. Banen åbnede i 1986 (fornyet i 2004) og er designet af Tom Fazio. Green Fee: 250 $.

Ejeren er ingen ringere end Arnold Palmer. Vil du være medlem i klubben skal du op med 28.000 $ i indskud og et årligt kontingent på 7.200 $ (juniorer dog kun det halve). Bay Hill er i 2007 af Golf Digest kåret som bedste bane i Florida. PGA-spillerne besøger ofte banen, bl.a. afholdes ”Bay Hill Invitational” her, hvor der blandt de seneste års vindere kan nævnes Tiger Woods (fire gange), Ernie Else, Phil Mickelson og Vijay Zingh i 2007. Mesterskabsbanen Bay Hill bevæger sig gennem 110 hektar langs kysterne ved ”Butler Chain of Lakes”. Her er der plads til de store armbevægelser; de brede fairways ”skriger” efter driveren, som du får brug for på den 6.598 meter lange bane. Men pas på det ikke går dig som John Daly, der på det 351 meter lange hul 5 gik direkte efter pinden over søen; vel at mærke ikke kun første gang – Daly måtte notere 18 for hullet. Selv banens arkitekt og ejer Arnold Palmer måtte sande, at driveren ikke altid er det bedste valg, da han efter en 10’er på hul 6 gik sin dårligste runde som professionel med en score på 85. Statistisk er hul 18 det sværeste par 4-hul på PGA-Touren med en gns. score på 4.5. Banen blev åbnet i 1963 og er designet af Dick Wilson og Arnold Palmer. Green Fee: Kun adgang for medlemmer og inviterede gæster.

Her har været afholdt adskillige internationale turneringer, bl.a. - Ryder Cup i 1985, 1989, 1993 og 2002. - Bensen & Hedges International Open i 2000, 2001 og 2002. Ingen andre steder har der været afholdt Ryder Cup så mange gange, og Belfry opfattes da også af mange som værende Ryder Cup’s hjemsted.

  • The Guide Contents
    Welcome to The Guide –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Welcome to the BMW Championship / Western Open Records & Statistics Guide for 2020. This is the 31st edition of a guide compiled, and originally limited in circulation, since 1990, when the WGA’s own Western Open Media Guide was confined to a few pages. There are three main sections: 1. A detailed record book, covering the 116 playings of the championship under all its names from 1899 onward. Contents for the following 56 pages are below left. A new category covers course records set in the championship since 1975 (page 49). 2. A year-by-year championship history, updated and corrected from the 2019 edition. Details of playing statistics (driving distance, fairways hit, greens in regulation, putts, sand saves) for all players are featured for the last four tournaments. The results for 2016 through 2019 are thus in two-page spreads. 3. An alphabetical register of contestants. Research continues on players from the early days with similar names, with many of the inconsistencies cleared up for this edition. Since 1990’s first edition, focusing on the championship’s modern-day Chicago era, interest in golf records and statistics, the Western Open included, has grown. Neglect in keeping any but the most rudimentary records for the Western until it returned to Chicago in 1962, and often for years after, meant the records in this Guide, inspired by Bill Inglish’s original Masters Tournament record book, had to be compiled independently. The records and statistics in this Guide are derived from an exclusive database of over 14,820 player reports, gleaned from an extensive file of contemporary newspaper and magazine reports compiled on trips to 20 cities, from Buffalo to Memphis to Los Angeles.
