I think you can decide if you're on 98 or not. Nobody's checking.

Also re-visited Portrush in 2019 and agree improved but will never have the Mourne Mountains. Same trip mightily impressed with improvements to Portstewart- stunning opening holes. We were all blown away by Rosapenna and rated it above Portrush.

I'm another fan of Rosapenna, the Sandy Hills course is tremendous. Can't wait for the new 18 to open in the summer.

Hoping to go back to Rosapenna this summer to play the new Doak course. Agree it's spectacular, as is Carne, Enniscrone, Rosses Point, Murvagh and Ballyliffin in this part of the world. Not sure they're quite in the same bracket as Portrush or RCD though. Oh to live out in NW Ireland and have the choices of courses they've got!

Most fun I had on a golf course last year was when 8 of us went and played an open at cruit island golf club. None of us had played it before. Felt like a proper adventure. Real fun playing the 9 holes a second time knowing where the pins were located and still being made to look foolish at times. Short holes but tiny greens. Wonderful little lay out.

I absolutely love seeing the rankings and look forward to getting the hard copy through my letterbox! Provides cause for debate. I've had plenty of chats/arguments/discussions with folk over wheher Course A is better than Course B, C, D etc.
I know that the GM version comes from an exhaustive 18 month period where 35 odd people play and review the courses. This provides a balanced view which is then used to rank the courses accordingly, I know that Rob, Mike and the team work hard at this list and they should be proud of it!
I am on 67 out of this Top100 and hope to be at 82 by the tend of the year if things go to plan!

Once you complete it you can officially say you've got shot 100 at all top 100 courses.

Your ranking would be solely based on the number and quality of the roast potatoes......
I'm hoping GM do it on the quality of the bacon sandwiches. Roasties? Blimey, that's part of a full meal afterwards.

Magazine makes no mention of Spuds. I think they need to get their priorities sorted. (see thread re quality of tarmacking in car parks)

Not sure Sunningdale Old is better than New. Personally think the par 3's on the Old are very average, and not a patch on the New. Strange GM says the Old has 'brilliant' par 3's. Got there course muddled up ? Much better ones at Swinley, Hankley, Burnham and Berrow.
Surprised Coombe Hill doesn't make Next 100.

Food was brilliant at Sunningdale on the last forum meet. All you could eat if you teed off early.

Tralee is ranked 48th Peter.
I know mate, Democracies, eh?
I'm sure every panellist (and forummer) will have 3 or 4 choices that you feel are miles too high or too low, and we are no different.
Honestly, if you get the chance go and play Tralee, its ace.
