Courses of the World: The arrowhead-shaped course is nestled into the rolling heathland of the Welsh countryside; its undulating fairways and charming water features require that all 14 clubs in your bag get a workout. The Cheshire Course is one of two championship courses at Carden Park, the 17th century mansion-cum-luxury resort and one of twelve UK properties managed by the esteemed DeVere Hotel Group. The 6,824-yard layout is but a sliver of Carden Park’s 750 acres, but what a gorgeous sliver it is (the recent opening of the $1 million clubhouse only adds to the experience).
