Bryson DeChambeau names his favourite course and top Golf hole in the world

He said: “This by the way, is my favourite golf hole in the entire world – number nine at Cypress Point.

“So it’s a par four, driveable hole. Most of the time I would drive it, but ultimately it’s the greatest risk-reward hole in all of golf I believe.”

“Normally you hit a six-iron, seven-iron, lay up, but in my case I’d bomb it on there.”

Cypress Point is frequently included among the best courses anywhere. It regularly features near the top of global rankings and has hosted major amateur events like the Walker Cup.

The ninth at Cypress isn’t just famous because DeChambeau likes it; plenty of other players also rate it among their favourites for its design and challenge.

What to know about Cypress Point and its ninth hole

Cypress Point is an exclusive, members-only club with an initiation fee reportedly set at $250,000. Playing there requires either a membership or an invitation from someone who is.

Like Augusta National, mobile phones are completely banned on the grounds. Rangefinders aren’t permitted either.

For guests, tee times are strict – you have to arrive between 7:00 and 7:15 am, and rounds need to be completed within four hours.

Only players with single-digit handicaps are allowed to use the back tees. The ninth hole at Cypress Point, DeChambeau’s favourite, is a short par four playing just 289 yards.

The hole bends slightly left and is heavily protected by large bunkers. With mountains and dunes as its backdrop, the ninth hole stands out as one of golf’s most scenic par fours, making it easy to see why DeChambeau holds it in such high regard.
