Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club, or Deal as it is somtimes called, is an absolute brute of a links course. Its back nine, or rather the last seven holes, are relentless.

The condition was unbelievable for a links course. Greens were fantastically complex, every hole had something about it, and the fairway undulations create situations you just don’t get elsewhere. I was lucky with the wind making it a bit more manageable, but it didn’t need any help being a great round of golf. Highly recommended to anyone exploring the Kent coastline and I will certainly be going back when the winds are higher

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.
