Why should you play on the NCG Top 100s Tour in 2026?

Here’s why you should join us as we travel round the country in 2026…

2026 is set to be the biggest year yet on the NCG Top 100s Tour, and if you haven’t already, then here’s why you should join us at some of our events!

Having started back in 2018 with just six events, the Tour has gone from strength to strength over the last few years, as we move towards a record 100 events on the schedule for this year.

From the South Coast, to the Scottish Highlands, from the west coast of Wales, to the Suffolk coastline in East Anglia, the NCG Top 100s Tour is covering some miles throughout 2026.

Although some events have sold out, there are still plenty of events and venues where you can join us, and there’s many reasons why…

CHECK IT OUT: The NCG Top 100s Tour website

NCG Top 100s: Royal St George's

Test yourself at world-class venues…

First of all, the NCG Top 100s Tour visits some of the very best golf courses in the United Kingdom.

This year, we are visiting four Open Championship venues – Royal St George’s, Prince’s, Royal Cinque Ports and Royal Lytham & St Annes – with the latter also fitting into the category of Ryder Cup host.

Moortown and Lindrick are in that category too, along with the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles – part of a two day run at the leading golfing resort in the country.

There are also venues on the Tour in 2026 where you can stay on site. We are visiting Dundonald Links, Machrihanish Dunes and Trevose, all of which are sublime resorts in their own right!

We even have some brand-new venues this year, such as Trump International’s New Course, and the Old Petty Course at Cabot Highlands – the second album to their respective fantastic debuts at both venues…

Cabot Highlands Old Petty

For less than a standard green fee…

It is not just the fantastic venues that we visit over the course of a season, but the fact that you can also play at this sublime golf courses for less than a standard green fee!

We use the rack rate fees are a guideline at most courses, and at some, we are able to offer a day’s golf for incredible prices.

For instance, at Nairn this year we are offering it for £195, compared to the standard rack rate price of £350 – an incredible saving at one of the world’s best venues!

And it isn’t just the golf on offer…

At the majority of venues, you also get food before and after your round as well, and who doesn’t enjoy a hot roll and a tea or coffee before they take to the course?

We also throw in a sleeve of TaylorMade golf balls for every player that turns up to one of our events, so if you were to play four events in one of our swings, you would walk away with a dozen TaylorMade golf balls (providing you don’t lose them out on the course throughout the week…)

Prizes, lots of prizes…

Thanks to their continued support, once again in 2026, TaylorMade vouchers are in play for the top three finishers at each of our events, to the tune of £250, £100 and £50.

For those lower handicappers, we have also introduced a Scratch Prize for 2026, with a pair of Under Armour shoes on offer to each winner – along with the chance to play in the Scratch Grand Final at Stoke Park later in the year.

Even if you don’t score well, you could still win one of two Nearest The Pin prizes on offers, with Sounder gear available.

It isn’t just prizes on the day that you can win either…

Every year, the NCG Top 100s Tour has its own Order of Merit, very similar to the Race to Dubai or the FedEx Cup. In 2026, each player’s top eight finishes will count for their Order of Merit position, with the top 44 qualifying for the Grand Final at Northamptonshire County in October.

If you make it through to the Grand Final, then your day at Northants County is completely on us! Win the Grand Final, and there’ll be an even bigger prize in store…

Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…

Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.

He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.

Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…

Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
