Weekday green fee: £55Â
+ Position: 102
Overall Score = 157


JB: Makes lovely use of bunkering, ditches and ponds.

Weekday green fee: £65

98. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNTY

Northamptonshire, England


24469|c:520x330.img

Designer(s): Harry Colt/James Braid/Cameron Sinclair
Weekday green fee: £70
+ Position: 87
Overall Score = 157


EB: A really good test of golf.


DM: Consistently good holes and an air of quality.


Commentary: A course well known and highly thought of locally but often ignored at a national level ” it shouldn’t be.

97. FORMBY LADIES

Merseyside, England


24470|c:520x330.img

Designer(s): Unknown
Weekday green fee: £57
+ Position: 99
Overall Score = 156


DM: Lots of doglegs and small greens ensure precision is the order of the day on all shots.


JB: Great setting inside the ”˜big’ course.


Commentary: Criminally ignored in the main.

96. GAILES LINKS

Ayrshire, Scotland


24471%7Cc:520x330.img

Designer(s): Willie Park Jr
Weekday green fee: £95
+ Position: 61
Overall Score = 156


JB: Plays very different to its neighbour Western Gailes ” the undulations are gentler and altogether more refined.


Commentary: Doesn’t have majestic views or dramatic changes in elevation but remains a true test of golfing skill.

95. SEASCALE

Cumbria, England


24472%7Cc:520x330.img

Designer(s): W Campbell/G Lowe
Weekday green fee: £35
+ Position: 120
Overall Score = 155


DM: The 16th is one of the hardest and most spectacular par 4s you will ever play


EB: I’m a big fan of Seascale, it has three or four top class holes.


Commentary: Sandwiched between the Irish Sea and the Lake District, Seascale is one of the most remote spots in England. That’s one of the reasons that the Sellafield nuclear power station was built here in the 1940s.

It makes for a jarring contrast in the vistas and it must be acknowledged that the course hugs the perimeter of the facility for several holes.

The course is arguably closer to downland than links for most of the way, when you are well above sea level. The best holes are those nearest to the railway where the terrain is thrillingly irregular and therefore full of character.

94. STONEHAM

Hampshire, England


24473|c:520x330.img

Designer(s): Willie Park Jr
Weekday green fee: £52
+ Position: 103
Overall Score = 155


SA: For anyone interested in seeing how a course can effectively use its hilly terrain, Stoneham is not be missed.


Commentary: Every bit as good as many of the London heathland courses but receives few of the accolades.

93. SHERINGHAM

Norfolk, England


24474%7Cc:520x330.img

Designer(s): Tom Dunn
Weekday green fee: £70
+ Position: 85
Overall Score = 155


EB: Lots of good holes here and full of character.


DM: A lovely place to play and an intriguing closing stretch.


Commentary: A clifftop course that has a timeless feel ” golf hasn’t changed much here in the last century.

92. IRVINE (BOGSIDE)

Ayreshire, Scotland


24475%7Cc:520x330.img

Designer(s): James Braid
Weekday green fee: £50
+ Position: 104
Overall Score = 154


EB: Irvine has really good par 4s ” I’d describe it as a very good heathland test.


DM: A mix of the quirky and the solid.


Commentary: Strong second-tier Ayrshire layout.

91. GULLANE (No.3)

East Lothian, Scotland


24476|c:520x330.img

Designer(s): Willie Park Jr
Weekday green fee: £33
