Capel gets one thing right - greens that are the envy of most courses in the region. Slick and immaculate, they run true and are a test for all levels of golfer. Beyond the greens, Capel is long and serves up an ongoing challenge that will delight some and defeat many.
The golf course is very much a sum of all its parts. Lots of enjoyable, playable holes rather than anything that stands out and, this is what gives it its charm. When you throw a few hills into the mix, the elevation changes add a layer of complexity and making the correct club selection a headache when dealing with the wind. The bunkers need some attention to fulfil their potential, though they are positioned spot on, often defending greens front and back.
Capel is an enjoyable walk in native woodland that is often interrupted by glorious golf shots and magnificent vistas.

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.
