Welcome to Golfweek’s Best rankings of the top 25 courses in Asia as determined by Golfweek’s Best Raters for 2021 (pictured atop this story: The Club at Nine Bridges in South Korea).
For the purposes of this story, Golfweek has used generally accepted boundaries of Asia that stretch from the Pacific Ocean westward through the Middle East.
The members of our course-ratings panel continually evaluate courses and rate them based on our 10 criteria. They also file a single, overall rating on each course. Those overall ratings on each course are averaged to produce a final rating for each course. Then each course is ranked against other courses in Asia to produce the final rankings.
