Whilst Golf Course Rankings can be considered subjective, a number of publications compile extensive lists of clubs around the world in order of excellence. The UK is no different and the two main publications, Golf World and National Club Golfer (Formerly Today's Golfer) have ranking panelists that visit clubs around the UK to evaluate them. In the last few months we have been rated by both publications so we can share with you some of the results:
The latest rankings:
