Ballyneal (Mulligan)

Named after Charlie Mulligan, the first caddie at Ballyneal Golf Club, the Mulligan course is a 12-hole par-three layout constructed in 2016 by Tom Doak and Renaissance Golf Design as an entertaining short game option for members.

Tom Doak awarded Mulligan a rating of seven out of ten and commented as follows in his Christmas 2017 Confidential Guide update:

“Our new, twelve-hole par-3 addition to Ballyneal plays to the club’s established fondness for wild undulations and natural golf. Many of these greens are close to what we found in the natural terrain, be it as gentle as the slight fallaway of the 3rd, or the heaving undulations of the 7th; but we felt free to take more chances in our design because it’s only a par-3 course, and no one would take it too seriously. All of which has reinforced my belief we should treat every project this way. It’s worth the drive from Denver, all on its own.”

World Top 100 Golf Courses

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
