The rankings arent purely about the course. Yes maybe there are some holes that arent as complete as other courses but how people would have on there bucketblist? And also when a pro can name one of the so called bland easy holes his favourite (#9) it really does divide opinion.
I see what you are saying. I loved the whole aura of the place and there was a real air of anticipation and nerves on the first tee despite how wide it is. I enjoyed it and didn't really feel there were too many weak holes, certainly for my standard

59 for me, quite a few in there that i would strongly disagree with.
In terms of their position in the chart or their inclusion at all?

Where would you have Hayling in relation?

It's all very subjective and in the eye of the player but of those I've played id rank in order as follows
Muirfield
Western Gailes
Royal Aberdeen
Royal Dornoch
Royal Lytham
Royal Liverpool
Machrihanish
Castle Stuart
Kingsbarns
Hillside
Siloth on Solway
Machrihanish Dunes
West Lancs
Gleneagles Kings
Gleneagles Queens
Belfry Brabazon
Gleneagles PGA
Im obviously very biased but can't believe Wallasey doesn't make the top 100 and interested to hear from those that decide why they thought it didn't. Similarly Little Aston especially given it help Open Qualifying this year.
Can't believe Royal Aberdeen doesn't scrape into the top 10 and can only assume the practice facilities hold it back, similarly Western Gailes at 53

I can never work out why western is so low and that Machrihanish is even in the top 100...

Both Homer!
Trevose, Royal St Davids and The Grove are 3 that wouldn't be in there and several are wrongly positioned.
Muirfield certainly shouldn't be #1, it isn't even close to RCD. Broadstone is a better test of golf than Parkstone although not a better club. Delighted to see my favourite English course (St Enodoc) has moved up as well.

Why are you so sore on Mach, its a quality course. For me the only real bad hole is 18, it's a crap finish for such a course.

I think Hayling is rightly placed in the '2nd 100' list which came out last time. It's got potential to move up if there was some serious bunker redesign work done.

Played 14 of them.
Haven't read the reasoning but Nairn at 34 seems high to me, lovely course but not that high IMO.
Especially not above Silloth.
Looking at that list I need to get across to Ireland to play some of those courses at some point.

Would have both Cromer and Sheringham as better than Grove and Trevose

Looking to play Sherringham soon gets rave reviews round here
Not sure I'd describe the Grove as average, especially the whole golfing set up they have there, and cracking food at The Stables. The course itself leaves a little to be desired and I never got the feeling I was playing anywhere "significant" especially compared to the likes of Berkshire, Swinley (even though its down) West Hill. St Andrews etc

All 4 are average
That's why these lists are all subjective
Sheringham for me is a stunning course. Certainly wouldn't call it average
