Golf World Unveils Top 100 Golf Courses: Get Ready to Tee Off!

If you’re a golf enthusiast, you’re undoubtedly already buzzing about the latest rankings of the Top 100 Golf Courses in Great Britain and Ireland set to be released for 2025! This biannual tradition is considered the pinnacle of golf course rankings, and it never fails to grab the attention of golfers everywhere. From amateurs to seasoned pros, everyone looks forward to seeing which courses take the top spots in this prestigious list.

Why This List Matters

So, what’s the buzz about these rankings? Well, Golf World firmly believes that no country can hold a candle to Great Britain and Ireland when it comes to elite golf courses. Sure, the United States boasts some private venues that can compete, but on a global scale, the UK and Ireland reign supreme! This upcoming list showcases not only well-known courses but also the hidden gems that may not be on everyone’s radar yet.

The Two-Year Journey

The road to ranking these incredible golf courses isn’t a quick one! The assessment process spans two years, meaning that feedback collected from both county and regional lists plays a crucial role in shaping the national rankings. And as if that isn’t exciting enough, a panel consisting of 25 golf course experts took part in visits to 36 key courses in the six weeks leading up to the publication of this list! It’s serious business—these experts are on a mission to gather the most current insights on what makes each course stand out.

The Evaluation Process

How do these experts decide which courses make the cut? Each course is evaluated based on several factors, such as design, setting, memorability, playability, consistency, and presentation. It’s important to note that elements like off-course facilities, customer service, and even historical significance don’t influence the rankings. If there happens to be a tie, rest assured the Top 100 Editor steps in, armed with panel opinions to make the ultimate call on which course takes the final spot.

Shining Stars of the Golfing World

Royal Liverpool, Royal Dornoch, and of course, Carnoustie. Some perennial favorites that are always in contention for the top spots include the illustrious The Old Course at St Andrews, Royal County Down, and Muirfield. But remember, some courses have undergone significant renovations, which can change their fortunes on the list—from skyrocketing to new heights or dropping a few places.
