91 – 100
Welcome to the most prestigious and most definitive ranking of the best golf courses in Great Britain and Ireland.
91 MoortownA welcome and fully justified return to the Top 100 for this traditional club in northern Leeds, which has undertaken a significant redevelopment of the course to create the feel intended by Dr Alister MacKenzie. |
|
92 DundonaldKyle Phillips’ under-rated links continues to evolve: the large bunker on the 9th is now two smaller ones; at the 12th the mound in front of the green which hid the bunker and gave a false front has been modified so you glimpse the trap. |
|
93 Sherwood ForestWhat better time for Sherwood Forest to make its debut in the GB&I Top 100 than its centenary year? This strangely under-appreciated woodland-heathland boasts 94 bunkers and swathes of heather while the greens are excellent – and there is a lovely feeling of seclusion through the trees. |
|
94 The GroveA return to elite company after our panel were impressed with this well-presented parkland. “It is a great piece of architecture. |
|
95 Lough ErneThis new course near Enniskillen has received fine reviews since opening and despite suffering like many of Ireland’s high-end resorts, it continues to make progress. |
|
96 The Belfry (Brabazon)Few courses split the panel’s opinion like the Brabazon; some felt it could be as high as the top 20, others were less keen. |
|
|
97 Southport & AinsdaleThis multiple Ryder Cup venue – which is an often-overlooked fact – has built two new greens to keep their links in top-class condition. |
98 TraleeA fall for Tralee, but with work in the pipeline do not be surprised if it moves back up in the near future. It is the classic course of two halves; a modest front nine followed by a back nine of rare quality. |
|
99 Celtic Manor (Twenty Ten)The Twenty Ten just hangs on in the top 100 with the lustre and excitement of the Ryder Cup now just a memory. |
|
100 Archerfield (Fidra)A first entry into the GB&I top 100 for the first course at this exclusive club. |
