Southport & Ainsdale 01/06/2018

5^th 42^nd 96^th

Most people compare/contrast this outstanding golf course to nearby Hillside and Royal Birkdale – but I consider that a mistake. Review the course for what it is, and cel...

Royal Lytham & St Annes 01/06/2018

2^nd 5^th 18^th 54^th

Starting with George Lowe, this work of art has been touched by Colt, Fowler, Simpson and Cotton. Despite the many hands that remodeled the course, the genius is in the r...

Silloth on Solway 01/06/2018

1^st 21^st 47^th

Don’t let the isolated location scare you away. Pound for pound, this is the best value for golf in the UK and arguably the most underrated course in the continent. Dariu...

Huntercombe 01/06/2018

1^st 94^th

Having not heard much about this course, I walked away hugely impressed with the Willie Park Jr creation in the Oxfordshire countryside. It was a delight to see how a tal...

European Club 31/05/2018

1^st 4^th 29^th 93^rd

Under the continued watchful eye of the owner, Mr. Pat Ruddy, the pursuit of the perfect golf links continues to be full steam ahead. Right from the first hole, this beau...

Adare Manor 31/05/2018

Gem

In recent months, the Adare Manor resort in Co. Limerick opened its renovated championship golf course. The layout is a sight to behold and will not resemble anything you...

Royal Portrush (Dunluce) 31/05/2018

1^st 2^nd 6^th 15^th

Fantastic preparations are underway ahead of next year’s Open Championship. The two new holes on the front side are mighty additions and have been perfectly integrated in...

Portstewart (Strand) 31/05/2018

1^st 3^rd 76^th

Forget Machrihanish (I say that tongue in cheek), this golf course has the most dramatic and panoramic first tee shot in golf. My eyes were wide open staring around me fr...

Ballyliffin (Glashedy) 31/05/2018

1^st 9^th 52^nd

Expectations were high given the upcoming Irish Open and the many positive reviews associated with the golf club. The course starts out with a string of tough par 4s movi...

Rosapenna (Sandy Hills) 31/05/2018

2^nd 11^th 59^th

Sandy Hills was the standout highlight for me on a recent trip to the North. For too long, I had been hearing stories comparing Rosapenna and Ballyliffin, but having expe...

Hole In The Wall 30/05/2018

Gem

This hidden gem in Naples – Hole In The Wall – doesn’t get any attention, by design. For those who are familiar with golf in the Naples area, this club is a private sanct...

Hamburger Falkenstein 29/05/2018

1^st 1^st 13^th

Hamburg is the premier golf club and course in Germany. It’s a true Harry Colt delight with fabulous golfing topography with 18 holes in existence since the early 20th ce...

Pevero 29/05/2018

2^nd 18^th

Italy as a country will never be a high profile golf destination, but the island of Sardinia is a pleasant retreat for Europeans wishing the escape the hustle and bustle...

PGA Catalunya (Stadium) 29/05/2018

1^st 1^st 4^th

A golfer immediately gets a heightened sense of challenge just by standing on the Stadium’s first tee box. The holes are tight, fraught with danger and significantly long...

PGA Catalunya (Tour) 29/05/2018

6^th 25^th

The better golf resorts in the world have a healthy mix of golf courses that are playable to a variety of golfers. The Tour course is much more fun and enjoyable than its...

Royal Zoute (Championship) 29/05/2018

1^st 31^st

I left Royal Zoute disappointed for a variety of reasons. The golf course is just not well maintained and the greens were the worst I’ve seen in 25+ years. I played it in...

Congaree 29/05/2018

Gem

Has anyone ever hired Tom Fazio to build a golf course that doesn’t look like Tom Fazio was involved? Welcome to the Congaree Club!In an isolated area of South Carolina,...

Yeamans Hall 29/05/2018

3^rd 48^th 53^rd

This course has lost its greens for the second year in a row, which is a shame. I last played this course 10 years ago and the expectations remained high given how much I...

Seminole 29/05/2018

Streamsong (Black) 29/05/2018

95^th

A gigantic piece of golf minimalism of enormous scale. Gil’s efforts bring golfers on a journey of angles. The fairways, waste areas and greens are among the biggest I’ve...
