It will be different with the GM lovefest for a very mediocre Castle Stuart.
I'll also not beat about the bush with the old course. If it wasn't for the history of the place it would struggle to make top 50.

Most over-rated course in Scotland? Well that would be Royal Dornoch, Nairn is miles better.

i've played a few of the courses mentioned and I'll die a happy man, when i can fathom how you can rank a course that's never been played. Pure speculation and marketing hype.Send the combover back to the States.

All about opinions Dolly. Ballybunion is the best I've played on that list.
Likewise Nairn,opinions,opinions as you say....I would just add after playing golf over the weekend and seeing what he has just typed re the Old Course & Castle Stuart anything he says about golf courses will be taken with a huge pinch of salt by myself.

How can they rank a course that nobody has played yet so highly???
That's like awarding "car of the year" to a model that isn't even in the showrooms yet!
Load of bollocks.

Fat Tiger and I are booked onto the Trump Course on different days in July. We will no doubt post reviews when we have had the pleasure. I will, however, say that if the photos of the place are anything to go by then we are in for an absolute treat.Can't wait

I've no doubt it will be an excellent experience Cameron, I would love to be there playing it as well. But as I say, I find it odd that a "Top 100" can include a course that nobody has played yet. Surely it is a contender for this accolade, without a doubt. But to actually sit in a position???? Is it the fact that it is so expensive to play that has put it there? Surely price is not a guarantee that it will be "best?". Some of the "best" courses that I have played have been the little gems that cost bugger all to get on to, but provide a really tough test.

I agree that £150 is alot to pay for a knock but it is only going to get more expensive there. I think Golf worls panel are to be commended for thier decision. There are many courses ranked higher than they shouuld be because they have a long history. Imagine where thee Trump course will move to once its had a few years to settle in and its in line to host a Ryder Cup/Scottish Open. I think it will move even higher up the rankings.

I've played both, Nairn is a far superior track. Dornoch has the more stunning views, but it is a much poorer course, the 16th is a horrendous hole, the 6th a nothing hole, the 7th ridiculous. TBH, I'm struggling to differentiate most of the rest of the course from memory, which is something I rarely have trouble with, not a good sign. Will certainly never go back there, but will without doubt take on Nairn again.
If it wasn't for Tom Watson, I doubt it would get the rave reviews it does. It's not a bad track, but Nairn is better, Lossie (both courses) are better, Cruden Bay is better, RA is better. Panmure is better.
I marked my score too and you had me down wrong at the end and i corrected you, so get to

Play off 5. Played it on a very windy day in their 36er, just missed the prizes.
Also played Nairn off the Championships last year in the King Trophy, also in a howler, shot 82 and also just missed the prizes (6th nett I think).
There were 3 of us there, one who is a links fanataic and who we have trouble to get entering any open if it's inland, and none of us will head back up there again, the other two play Nairn every year. (And they're both Cruden Bay members fwiw.)
