What caught our eye in reviewing photos of Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea,
site of this year's President's Cup, was the magnificent bridge looming beyond the par-5 15th (
pictured). Unlike other mammoth mechanical structures – high tension power line towers immediately come to mind – a bridge never seems to disturb the scenic panorama of a golf course. Instead, it enhances it, because it's always more than beams and girders. Every bridge is a work of art, with its own grace, beauty and character. Here are a baker's dozen of golf courses with bridge backdrops, more often than not deliberately incorporated into the course design since, in most cases, the bridge was there first.
