Up to 76 now. Had another great year hacking around some very nice courses.
Didn't get to play a few that I thought I would play.
Will do a few more next year and if I get over to the west coast of Ireland I may get another few more in.
Have managed to play quite a few that are not even close to the top 100 or the next top 100 and boy do we have some lovely courses in the UK.
Is that Western you mean? From memory (a hungover one) they are next door.
Western gailes is a cracker and a Half.
Very warm welcome and a totally fantastic course that I could play everyday. It carves its way through the dunes in an intimate and very natural feeling way (yes I’m feeling nostalgic ?)
Dundonald was a very different set up.
Felt vast in comparison but equally as good from a visual and golf challenge perspective.
As good as western and 100% better than many others in the bottom half of the 100.
Top 50 everyday for me.
Perhaps it’s because their is no clubhouse currently? I’m totally guessing at selection criteria though
I have a vague recollection of discussing this on here before. The judges won't give a high rating to any course that has a portacabin clubhouse. Even if it's the best course in the world. I thought they were rating golf courses, but apparently the quality of the pint and club sandwich is just as important.
How many top 100 courses have you played? There are some stunning courses in the list, the standard is incredibly high.Is that Western you mean? From memory (a hungover one) they are next door.

Wrong. The criteria is in the courses section of the website.I have a vague recollection of discussing this on here before.

What makes you think that?They don't always follow their own criteria when rating a course.......?

Playing it on Wednesday for the first time.I’ve listed earlier in the thread.
I’ve played enough of the bottom 50 to know Dundonald is more than worthy.
It spanks plenty of the higher 100 and I’ve played enough of them to warrant an opinion.
Question to you. Have you played Dundonald?

I tell you what. I cannot believe Dundonald is not included. Top 75 (Maybe 50) for me. Cracking course.

Bizarre that it's not in while its neighbour is in the top 50.
