The top 10 golf courses in the world according to these four criteria

The warmer months and the loosening of travel restrictions means one thing for us hacks: golf holidays. 

There are several places that are on our bucket lists of places to visit and play. 

Unfortunately, there are just some places that we will never be able to play such as Augusta National. 

Insurance provider SportsCover Direct has decided to take a look at some of the best places to play in the world using four criteria. 

Those being:

• Heritage
• Cloud cover
• Annual rainfall
• Public reviews

From there, they have then given them an average score out of 100.
