Top 100

[Leftie5.6]

The New T100 GM list dropped through my letterbox this morning. I’ve played 71 and a further 37 in the next 100, of which 27 were in the T100 when played eg Tandridge played last year - albeit is not in my personal T100!
Am I on 98 or, do I have to keep plugging away?

Good to see the best course is back at number 1

Big jump for Liphook, which reflects the excellent improvements.

Oooh good question. Based on your method I've played about 150 of the top 100 ?

Yes RCD deffo no1. Lip hook and all the courses round Bournemouth yet to be played.

I’m completely with the exclusion of Loch Lomond (even tho I’ve played it a number of times and it just about gets in on merit). That apart, anyone who completes the list has to keep plugging away as new courses come in. It’s the Holy Grail.

Disappointed to see Silloth has dropped by 4 places. It should only be heading upwards in my humble (biased) opinion. If you’ve not played it yet then you really need to get it on your list!

Have you played Tralee?

Bournemouth area doing well. With Remedy Oak making the list there are now 4 top 100 courses plus Isle of Purbeck on the next 100.

Yes. Quiet front 9 and tremendous back 9.

Remedy Oak looks very nice/picturesque...how good is it?

I thought the good bits were very good... but not been in a long time

Has Isle of Purbeck been improved in the past year? I played it in summer 2019 and thought it was in pretty poor condition. The fairways were awful. Nice enough layout, and lovely clubhouse with some stunning views, but at the time, I doubt it would have made the "next 100 in Dorset" let alone more widely.

I've never played Purbeck in "good condition" for a course of its ranking. Great layout, amazing views... but there you have it! Fairways die off in the summer or are chewed up by animals! Still love the place though!

 

[Liverbirdie]

Yes. Quiet front 9 and tremendous back 9.

I dunno, the front 9 has 6 holes alongside the cliffs/water, but the back 9 is immense.

RCD was my fave in the UK, but that was before I played Tralee.

 

[richart]

Remedy Oak is a nice course, which I have been fortunate to play a few times with a member. Each time I play the more I like it. Two or three poor holes including two with big lakes, short par four on the front nine, where you need seven iron, wedge and the 18th.

I really like the layout and the whole site gives a feeling of tranquility.

The nature of the club is that it continues to improve due to investment and I think it will become the best course in the area.

Not really - there are some fundamental issues which will take a lot of time / money to sort out.

RCD and Portrush used to be neck and neck for me (largely due to both being awesome, with - relatively - weak finishes), and RCD edging it.

However, having played Portrush last year with the replacement holes for 17/18, there could be an argument for it edging RCD?

 

[IanM]

RCD now £270 a round in the summer. Wow... these places are getting expensive
