Merion (East) 13/12/2007

2^nd 7^th 7^th 13^th

On the first tee is a plaque acknowledging Merion’s East course as a ‘National Monument’ and with its iconic wicker baskets, Merion is indeed a very special place. The U...

Shinnecock Hills 13/12/2007

1^st 3^rd 3^rd 3^rd

Host to four US Opens (so far), Shinnecock is rightly revered as a hugely challenging golf course and it more than lives up to its tough reputation. After a good lunch a...

Dundonald 31/05/2007

5^th 30^th 90^th

If your driver is working well here you should score well. There is very little decision making required from the tee, it is driver pretty much all the way. With that in...

Harbour Town 28/03/2007

3^rd

Hilton Head Island is a haven for golfers and the jewel in the crown is the Harbour Town Links. Links could be a bit misleading if you are expecting a classic British set...

Kiawah Island Resort (Ocean) 19/03/2007

1^st 31^st 35^th 69^th

Built specifically for the 1991 Ryder Cup , this course has acquired a somewhat fearsome reputation which was recently supported by a #1 rating in Golf Digest’s review of...

Falsterbo 27/11/2006

1^st 2^nd 27^th

Falsterbo is an excellent course in a great setting. The course begins by heading away from the sea and there are a number of ponds and marshy features on a tough front...

Elie 09/10/2006

7^th 35^th

Elie in a wind is a wonderfully natural test of links golf. Up periscope and 'Play Away', this is fun golf, testing to the single figure player but not overly penal to an...

Royal County Down (Championship) 25/09/2006

1^st 1^st 1^st 4^th

Wow...played in a strong wind (tail-end of Hurricane that threatened the Ryder Cup!) last week and left with no doubt that this is the best course I have ever been fortun...

Murcar Links 25/09/2006

4^th 34^th

This is a very very good and enjoyable golf course but probably not quite a classic seaside Championship links. Like its neighbour at Royal Aberdeen, the best holes are t...

Royal Cinque Ports 27/08/2006

2^nd 12^th 31^st 95^th

This is a truly first class links and should certainly be ranked higher on any list. The course has a tremendous history of Open Championships and Amateur Championships...

Royal Aberdeen (Balgownie) 10/07/2006

1^st 8^th 17^th 52^nd

I ventured to Balgownie links' keen to see if Royal Aberdeen would live up to the rave reviews it has received in recent years. I need not have worried. Tom Watson was fu...

Tain 05/06/2006

16^th 88^th

A fantastic course with a great lay-out and a wonderful setting. Mafeking (though not long) is a very good hole and The Alps is a classic blind links hole. If you are her...

Brora 05/06/2006

6^th 29^th 89^th

This is about as natural a links as you will find anywhere and don't be deceived by the length on the card. So many holes spring to mind but the 6th, 16th and 17th are so...

Golspie 05/06/2006

10^th 63^rd

Perhaps not a real classic, but nonetheless a very enjoyable golf course with some great holes and plenty of variety to keep most people happy and keen to come back for m...

New Zealand 05/06/2006

14^th 54^th

It is always a real treat to play here. The course is wonderful and don't be deceived by the length. Accuracy is the key and the heather can be punishing to anyone thin...

Castletown 26/10/2005

1^st 98^th

A fantastic links experience and a spectacular setting. The wind is an ever present but the course weaves its way around the pensinula and it is rare that the wind is in...

Prestwick 26/10/2005

4^th 16^th 38^th

'Birthplace of The Open', need I say more? (!)

North Hants 26/10/2005

5^th 81^st

This should surely be in the top ranked courses but possibly suffers from being on the edge of such a great stretch of heathland with some more illustrious near neighbour...
