Chris Wanless

I have played Golf for over 10 years, despite never seeming to get any better, but that doesn't deter from my passion for the game.

I have been embarking on a journey through England's Top 100 Golf Courses, with a life goal to play the Top 100 in England, GB & Ire, Europe and the World.

All reviews and photos are shared on my Instagram Account: Top.100.Golf

Favourite courses include St George's Hill, Parkstone, Ipswich, Sunningdale and Finca Cortesin.

I never shy away from any help and keen to engage, so do follow me and drop me a message.

The Grove 18/11/2020

1^st 78^th

Not often in this life can you say “I’ve hit that like one of the greats of the game…” but here at The Grove you can…But we will come to that…Currently The Grove Golf Clu...

Woodhall Spa (Hotchkin) 17/11/2020

1^st 7^th 21^st 62^nd

You know you’re playing a special course when midway through the round your Fourball are discussing the best inland courses in the UK. For me, Woodhall Spa must be consid...

Moortown 09/11/2020

3^rd 53^rd

Moortown is a Golf Club steeped in history. Not only was it one of Dr Alister MacKenzie’s first designs (he arguably went onto bigger and better things), but it was the v...

Ganton 02/11/2020

1^st 9^th 26^th 77^th

Depending on which direction you drive to Ganton Golf Course, the last town you see seems to be miles away. You then drive into the middle of nowhere and upon arriving at...

Notts (Hollinwell) 28/10/2020

1^st 18^th 45^th

After plenty of COVID related changes to our 2020 Annual Golf Trip, Notts hosted the opener for our four day trip and what a start it was!Notts, or more commonly known as...

Woburn (Duchess) 19/10/2020

5^th 96^th

The afternoon of our 36 hole day at Woburn took us to The Duchess and completed the set of three very different courses at the superb Woburn Golf Club.The Duchess winds i...

Woburn (Duke's) 13/10/2020

2^nd 49^th

After playing The Marquess a couple of months back, I had been keen to return to Woburn for a 36 hole day across the remaining two. Luckily we found a fresh Autumn day an...

Blackmoor 05/10/2020

4^th 71^st

I have lived in the heathland sand belt of Surrey and Hampshire my entire life and had barely heard of Blackmoor until I started working through the Top 100. It is a cour...

Drift 02/10/2020

44^th

The Drift is a tight little pay and play Woodland course in the heart of Surrey. It’s a relatively short course at 6,443 yards off the whites and almost all the holes are...

Camberley Heath 30/09/2020

18^th 80^th

I spent many happy years in my twenties as a member of Camberley Heath, so I feel I am well placed to make a fair assessment of the course. This is a Harry Colt heathland...

East Sussex National (West) 29/09/2020

9^th

East Sussex National is set out in a vast expanse of land in the Sussex countryside. Equipped with two courses, a hotel, restaurant and Spa, ESN is set up for golfing ret...

Knole Park 28/09/2020

5^th 89^th

Kent is a county blessed with World Class links golf courses, but if you’re ever travelling down to these, stop off at the ‘Best inland course in Kent’, because you won’t...

North Hants 25/09/2020

5^th 81^st

Having only taken up golf in my mid-twenties and growing up opposite this course, North Hants was one of the first Top 100 golf courses I was introduced to. One of my clo...

Northamptonshire County 09/09/2020

1^st 93^rd

Northamptonshire County GC is located in the quiet little village of Church Brampton, set amongst some stunning houses. It has a quaint feel to it and this is accentuated...

Ipswich (Purdis Heath) 07/09/2020

1^st 48^th

During my journey through the Top 100 Golf Courses in England, there have been a few courses I have walked away from thinking “Wow, that was an unexpected Gem!” Parkstone...

Hadley Wood 04/09/2020

2^nd 84^th

Hertfordshire is arguably the Home of Parkland Golf, but I have to admit, although I liked Moor Park; Centurion and The Grove are not my type of courses. Wide, expansive...

Guildford 01/09/2020

35^th

Unfortunately, due to travel restrictions the world seems to find itself under, the entirety of the UK has decided to holiday at Guildford Golf Club, or that is what it s...

Saunton (West) 01/09/2020

3^rd 61^st

To call this the 2nd course at Saunton seems to be doing the West a disservice. In fact I am surprised there are 40 places between the East and West in the current rankin...

Saunton (East) 28/08/2020

1^st 21^st 48^th

I wish I lived within driving distance of Saunton! The members here are some seriously lucky people. I often read in reviews about the debate of the best 36 hole golf com...

Piltdown 19/08/2020

4^th 83^rd

After Piltdown was added as a ‘New Entry’ in England’s Top 100 Rankings, I have been keen to head back to Sussex to complete the trio of courses that reside in the Ashdow...
