The Pebble Beach course teaches players humility. It would seem that many holes are made for a more aggressive game, but the opposite is true. They can torment you. However, you will be rewarded with a playground with the most beautiful view of the coast and ocean.

## Augusta National (Georgie)

**Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and Sam Snead's favorite.**

The Augusta National Golf Course has become more complicated over the years and perhaps unbeatable for the average player. If you're looking for a challenge, you're in the right place.

## Torrey Pines (California)

**Tiger Woods favorite.**

The Torrey Pines are not very popular among professional PGA Tour players. The only exception is Tiger Woods, who has a dedicated place in his heart for years. Could it be his 8 victories on this pitch? The course is in any case public and sought after by happy golfers.

## East Lake Golf Club (Atlanta)

**Brandt Snedeker's favorite.**

Although Brandt Snedeker has won on other pitches such as Pebble Beach, Torrey Pines and Harbor Town, winning the FedEx Cup in Atlanta was the greatest achievement of his career to date. Therefore, his voice belongs to this quiet and relatively wooded playground.
