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 three main publications, Golf World, National Club Golfer (Formerly Today's Golfer) and Top100golfcourses.com have ranking panelists that visit clubs around the UK to evaluate them. In the last eight months we have been rated by all three publications so we can share with you some of the results:
