antigua, sun, sea,rum, palm trees and tees can’t beat it
The Cameroon Highlands in Malaya. At the time the course was good but lacked resort facilities.
I now live in the Canary Islands and we have a great many lovely courses and great resorts with year round sunshine. The only problem we have is that during the summer course fees are reasonable but during the winter the courses are crowded and green fees are astronomical!!!!!!
Thailand has many beautiful courses, many built along the Gulf of Thailand, and designed by big names-Player, Nicklaus, Dye and others.
The most exotic in America is the “Pete Dye At Bridgeport” course in W. VA. Built by a coal mine magnate about 10 years ago for 20 million-carved through the coal mines and W. VA foothills.
My home course in Rio Rico Arizona, it has Mountains, Pine Trees, Water, it is awesome!!
Most exotic might be on Maui, but the one that few people have played is the Royal Waterloo Golf Club in Belgium. Front nine fairly open links type and back carved from a dense beechwood forest. Private though and it helps if you speak Flemish.
Nairobi, Kenya…It was unbelievable.
I haven’t been to too many places but I found myself alone on the back 9 of the Palmer Course in Hawaii’s Turtle Bay Resort.
The front 9 was nice, and there was a few people out there. A group let me pass after hole 7 and when I got to 10 I was practically all alone!
The back 9 was alot more tropical and definitely more beautiful and yes, exotic!
I took my sweet old time, playing three or four balls off the tee and letting them fly! It was awesome! I definitely got my money’s worth playing golf on that day for sure.
How about Glow Golf for exotic? LOL! Neon balls, black lights. HA! Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
The most recent one for me would be Alaska. Valley of the Eagles, and there were alot of eagles. At one sitting I counted twelve circling above my head…hmmm…lol. We took a ferry over to the island and a sea plane back. Par 71, fun course (bears and all). The sand traps were filled with black mining slag. No resort but a GREAT brewery.
I’ve played all over the world but there are certain courses here in the US that are difficult to get to and seem very remote. The courses in Bandon Oregon are world class but a pain to get to. Also Sand Hills in Mullen Nebraska is in the middle of nowhere. Cape Breton Highlands in Canada is pretty far and so is Royal Dornoch. All of them world class and worth it.
