It isn’t impossible to play these courses, but it’s often a case of who you know. At others, you’ll need deep pockets and these courses might just ask you to prove it before they let you join

10. Ardfin

Isle of Jura, Inner Hebrides

Designed by Australian Bob Harrison, the course on the Isle of Jura is finished but not yet open. We don’t know how open it will ever be. It may just become the private plaything of its owner, Australian millionaire Greg Coffey.
The population of Jura is just 200 so it is unlikely that there will ever be a queue on the 1st tee.
