Top 100

After checking out a list of top 100 in Britain I was appalled by how few I,ve played, I know there will be many on here who have played 5 or 6 times as many as I and its something that over the next few years I aim to put right, all I have done so far are Royal Liverpool, st Andrews old course, Gleneagles kings course, Formby, Gullane 1,Belfry (brabazon) and celtic manor 2010, something needs to be done about this very poor showing. How many have you all played?

Where's the list Alan. Is Reigate Hill on there? :-)

Hi Alan It's a great website and they tweet loads aswell if you are on twitter. I have played 14 of the top 100 in GB, and obviously enjoyed every one. Royal St Georges, St Georges Hill, Saunton east, St Enodoc, Berkshire red, Berkshire blue, Hankley Common, Woburn dukes, Woburn duchess, West Hill, Woking, Worplesdon, Chart Hills and The Addington. Which I am luckily playing again tomorrow. As you can tell the vast majority are fairly close together, when you add in Wentworth and Sunningdale the Surrey / Berkshire sand belt is a fantastic area for courses (if you have the money that is.) I have to say that price does come into it for me, I just can't justify the �350 that Sunningdale want for a days golf in the summer regardless of how amazing the layout. The links courses I have played have been rated higher, but although undoubtedly harder I am not convinced of their domination of the top 20.

paul, i used this one

Well I've only played one of them, Chart Hills! Mainly as I can't justify spending much more than my membership fees on more golf!

That said, with Remedy Oak, Broadstone, Parkstone, Ferndown and the Isle of Purbeck all within 20 minutes of me, maybe I'll make an effort to play at least one of them this year.

The Top 100 site is great. Golf Monthly also did a Facebook plugin to allow you to add up courses you had played from their top 100.

Thanks Alan.

To my surprise I have actually played one - East Sussex National. Visited St Georges for the open but they wouldn't let me play.

Drilling down into county rankings there are some surprising chart placings.

Chris - like you, finances prevent me from making any inroads into notching up more top 100's.

It is sad to think that before the introduction of all these new USGA spec. championship course that have been built in the last thirty odd years, playing any of the top 100 and those who did not make the list but were equally as good, was within the reach of the average club member.

If anyone wants to play Moortown then it is in cracking condition at the moment and I am pretty sure that the green fees are half what you would pay in the summer.

I've played none on that list.... how disappointing.

I aim to play at least 2. A year, i,ll never finish them but i,ll put a dent in the list
