I live near Paris and report on France and Iceland for Top 100. My handicap is currently set at 5 and I’ve played many of Europe’s greatest courses with my personal favourites being Royal County Down, Muirfield and Turnberry (Ailsa).

Hossegor 27/04/2019

5^th 21^st

What a gem of a course. Sheer class, simply stunning. Should in my opinion be ranked higher, and clearly above St Emilion in the SW corner. It really is on par with the t...

Finca Cortesin 26/02/2019

3^rd 5^th 18^th

I must admit straight away that this review might be biased by the horrendous winds on the day I played. But as I understand, these strong winds are quite frequent in the...

Real Sotogrande 26/02/2019

2^nd 3^rd 9^th

Didn't realize it was 9 years since I came here first. My opinion this time around is even better. What a classy place! Really understated and not at all "in your face" a...

Grand Saint-Emilionnais 05/06/2017

4^th 18^th 91^st

I have mixed feelings about this course, and surely not as enthusiastic as the previous reviewer. Surroundings are very nice, a great feeling of isolation. As for the cou...

Médoc (Châteaux) 29/10/2016

2^nd 11^th 37^th

I really like my new home courses. Les chateaux is a proper beast, real tournament golf course. It's long and tough. Greens are huge, elevated and very undulated! A real...

Médoc (Vignes) 29/10/2016

7^th 37^th

Having recently moved to the area, I can now call this my home course. And what a treat! Surely one of the best 36 holes complex in Europe. Les vignes is shorter than les...

Woburn (Marquess) 11/06/2016

1^st 48^th 96^th

The contrast between Marquess and Duchess is quite striking. Different environment and altogether different width and atmosphere. Clearly, Marquess is the big course at W...

Woburn (Duchess) 11/06/2016

3^rd 86^th

This is a very pretty and lovely course. Not long by any means, but really quite narrow! The par 3 2nd is a good example of that, you can't afford any bit of lateral move...

Tierra del Sol 18/02/2016

1^st 32^nd

Tierra del Sol is a lovely course. I agree with the previous comments regarding the routing of the course and the fact that they've taken into consideration the prevailin...

Kauri Cliffs 20/12/2015

5^th 5^th 19^th

Final round in NZ for the time being. I thought I wouldn't be able to squeeze that round in my schedule but I'm so glad I did. I had heard that the scenery was even bette...

Cape Kidnappers 19/12/2015

2^nd 2^nd 6^th 44^th

This course had been on my mind for many years, probably like everybody else, after having seen the aerial pictures. Even if the feeling on the ground is different, the s...

Paraparaumu Beach 13/12/2015

3^rd 3^rd 11^th 94^th

Was I ever going to be able to play that course? It didn't look like it when my domestic flight to Wellington was cancelled the previous evening because of the wind and t...

Kinloch Club 06/12/2015

4^th 4^th 16^th

I have mixed feelings about this course. I was expecting the worse (too difficult, extreme, unplayable quoted from other reviewers) and the best and I feel I got neither....

Paradis 05/03/2015

8^th 98^th

The course is set in an idyllic location, between the beautiful Le Morne mountain and a turquoise lagoon. These 2 features are present during the whole round. Sure it's n...

Littlestone (Championship) 02/10/2014

4^th 67^th

A real pleasure to see Jim write more and more reviews outside of Scotland, ever so informative and well written. My first glimpse at Littlestone wasn't too exciting, the...

Granville (Links) 15/08/2014

3^rd 16^th 89^th

As a links lover, I'd wanted to play this course for some time. Indeed, it is meant to be the only real links in France (can't remember the title of the book that made th...

Fairhaven 10/05/2014

7^th

With so many great courses in this area, the underdogs need to fight hard to get their piece of the cake. Fairhaven is a decent course, a bit short by modern standards. T...

Royal Lytham & St Annes 08/05/2014

2^nd 7^th 20^th 58^th

The dormy house atmosphere is an experience not to be missed. And neither is the history packed clubhouse. The course is not too bad either! Flatter than other Open venue...

Royal Birkdale 08/05/2014

1^st 3^rd 12^th 40^th

Wonderful club, wonderful course, wonderful atmosphere, wonderful welcome to visitors. Really a place of superlatives. Even when it's blowing a gale like on the day I pla...

Royal Liverpool 08/05/2014

1^st 15^th 42^nd

This is a course of 2 halves, or 2 parts to be more precise. The "hilly" southern part of the course, holding the best holes (4th to 15th in the open configuration that I...
