All eyes are on the course at TPC Sawgrass, particularly the iconic 17th hole’s island green.
Here are some of the other coolest island greens across 4 continents. These are obviously subjective choices so if you've got a different pick, write me a comment below.
Asia: BRG Ruby Tree Golf Resort, Hai Phong City, Vietnam
Hole 18, par n/a. So serene, you'll forget you're just 20km from the city centre.

North America: Punta Mita Pacifico Golf Course, Punta Mita, Mexico
Hole 3B, par 3. This one is the only natural island green in the world and it's that natural beauty that puts it to the top of a competitive list.

North America (again): Apple Tree Resort in Yakima, WA, USA
17th hole, par 3. Apple green, sand trap leaf. What's not to like?

Africa: Leopard Creek, Mpumalanga, South Africa
18th Hole, par 5. Designed by the one and only Gary Player and uses indigenous grass that requires less water than grass normal used on greens.

Europe: Golf Club Santa Ponsa II, Spain
18th hole, par n/a. Designed José Gancedo in the shape of Mallorca but is unfortunately only open to private shareholders of the club.
