Play the greatest golf course in the world. This is simply where the standard round
of golf throughout the world was born in 1764!

We have all heard about this one! Tee times are a little tougher here than in Norway or Bolivia, we have some good connections though, so we will be ok.

Any tips or suggestions?

La Paz Golf Club is the highest golf course. This 18 hole, par 71 has its highest hole at an
altitude of 3’342 meters and its lowest at 3’277 meters.

I was wondering, do we need to being our own oxygen masks here? If you know, please let me know. Maria has incredible medical skills, so if we do, that is ok.

North Star Golf Club is the coldest golf course in the World! This par 72 is very unique because
you will have the opportunity to share the course with some of the many wildlife
species that call Alaska their home. The scorecard includes a checklist of various
creatures you may run into during your visit at North Star Golf Club.

Any tips for us here? Please comment…

North Cape Golf club is the most northerly golf course in the World! Located at 70.664° N 23.69° E.
We will surely enjoy this par 60 of 3’264 meters, well it was the  most northerly it is now the second one. Hammerfest Golf Course is the most northerly now. The Challenge was to play the original awesome eight courses, which we will do, however being all the way up there we will rent a car and visit and play Hammerfest too, more info about that course later.

Alice Spring Golf Club is the hottest golf course in the world. The toughest element is the climate.
The temperature can rise to 50°C (122°F) and hot winds whistle across fairways in
this 18-hole par 72 course. It is currently rated as one of the world’s top ten desert
courses and one of Australia’s top 25 golfing resorts.

Any tips? Do the carts have ice cold sprinkler systems? Ooops, I forgot, we have to walk it!!

This will be a tough one, help out if you can ;)

Furnace Creek is the lowest golf course in the world. The 18-hole, par-70, Furnace Creek
Golf Course is the world’s lowest elevation golf course, at 214 feet below sea
level. Due to the elevation of the course, slightly greater gravity and barometric
pressure forces are present which are added to the player’s challenge.
