It’s officially National Golf Month, and with U.S. golf participation on the rise, many look to world-renowned golf courses around the world. In the next year, some courses will host some exceptional events, from the 2027 Ryder Cup to a PGA Tour Championship.

We’ve named four golf courses to watch for travelers wishing to find their next bucket-list course:

Northumberland’s first and only 5-star hotel recently unveiled a major golf expansion centered around The Douglas, a brand-new, 18-hole championship course blending nine newly designed holes with the estate’s historic Standing Stone nine. The hotel also boasts new facilities like The Academy (opening mid-August) at the driving range; a new simulator and teaching bay; 15 Toptracer bays; a short-game practice area and all-weather, 18-hole putting course; a Himalayas-style, oversized putting green; and new irrigation system.

Already one of the most prestigious courses in the world, Adare Manor will go down in history when it hosts the 2027 Ryder Cup.
