I have been lucky enough to play many of the iconic courses in the region but the Castle has left a long standing impression and for me it is my favourite.
The views are spectacular and each hole tests a different part of your game. While the wind can be aggressive playing smartly and applying proper course management the course will reward you. T
he 17th (Cliff hole) encourages you to stop and take a moment. Not only do you take in the scenery and the view ahead of you but the anticipation and slight fear before teeing up and striking your ball over the cliff on this testing and beautiful par 3 is something to experience.
For me the Castle is my personal favourite and sits at number 1 for me.

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.
