91 – 100
Welcome to the most prestigious and most definitive ranking of the best golf courses in Great Britain and Ireland.
|
|
91 West HillThe youngest of Surrey’s three Ws, West Hill is still a superb heathland which oozes character. |
|
|
92 Remedy OakSet in some 250 acres of mature Dorest woodland, John Jacobs knew he’d found something great when he saw it. |
|
|
93 EnniscroneFinally, many would argue, Enniscrone gets the credit it deserves. Founded in 1918, redesigned in 1974 and 2001, it is one of Ireland’s finest authentic links and now ranked in the top 10 in the country by Golf Digest Ireland. |
|
|
94 DundonaldOwned by Loch Lomond, for lovers of modern links Dundonald is a more enjoyable experience than the parkland perfection on the Bonnie Banks. |
|
|
95 Skibo CastleThe professional, David Thomson, together with Tom Mackenzie, have undertaken massive changes to 17 of the holes, and their hard work has paid off, with this layout returning to our ranking after four years. |
|
|
96 The Belfry (Brabazon)Amateur legend Peter McEvoy told us: “I’d never have considered it as one of my top courses before. It was quite muddy and raw. |
|
|
97 St Mellion (Nicklaus)Nicklaus’ first European design underwent major work on every bunker and tee and improved its drainage two years ago – and returned to the Top 100 as a result. |
|
|
98 Southport & AinsdaleIt’s a little-known fact that only The Belfry has hosted the Ryder Cup more times than ‘S&A’. It held the matches in 1933 and 1937 and a display of memorabilia in the clubhouse recognises those occasions. |
|
|
99 Machrihanish DunesOld Tom Morris said of this corner of Scotland: “The Almichty Maun hae had gowf in his e’e when he made this place.” Next door to Machrihanish Golf Club, laid out in 1879 by Old Tom himself, the Dunes is the creation of Scot David McLay Kidd. |
|
|
100 The Dukes, St AndrewsThe Duke’s belongs to the Old Course Hotel and is a nice alternative to the links in the area. It was initially designed by Open legend Peter Thomson, but was astutely refurbished by Tim Liddy, who has worked closely with Pete Dye. |
