In the book Hooked, author Kevin Markham writes: “Banbridge may have been here for a long time, but as you rise and fall through the troughs you can easily see the course’s evolution – farmland butts up to the course for much of the round.
It does a good job taking you in different directions and giving you different feels as you cross over small lanes and through rows of hedges to reach the different sections. It adds to the diversity and interest on what is essentially a short, lively parkland course.”

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.
