Olgiata, Rome, Italy

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/03/05

This week we are in Italy - the tenth country on our podcast travels. If you're a tourist who wants to visit Rome, but don't want to miss out on the opportunity of a round of golf, then Olgiata is for you. Half an hour from the famous sights in the Eternal City is a course which Neil reckons is one of the toughest he's played - but he wasn't helped by an accident en route…. https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/olgiata https://www.olgiatagolfclub.com/ Do you agree with our review?

Burnham & Berrow, Somerset, England

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/02/22

Beware the injured golfers! Ian is forced to skip playing Burnham & Berrow because of a broken finger as well as foot surgery, while Neil isn't much better - hobbling round Burnham & Berrow with a painful toe affliction! Which is a shame because this Open Qualifying Course is a gem - and counts Justin Rose among its top admirers. The list of men who had a hand in designing and refining the course reads like a who's who of golf architects…. https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/bur...

La Manga, (South), Murcia, Spain

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/02/09

Ian returns to the place where he first learned to play golf - in between reporting on the England football team who used this luxury resort as a base before the 1998 World Cup. Back then, La Manga attracted many sports stars and celebrities. But when Neil and Ian last visited a decade ago, the condition of the courses was definitely below par. We're delighted to report that the South Course, which used to host the Spanish Open, is back to its best. https://lamangaclub.com/en https://www.theg...

Las Colinas, Costa Blanca, Spain

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/02/02

Las Colinas near Alicante is rated as Spain's 20th best golf course, but we give it top marks for value for money in January. Three nights in a two bedroom apartment, including two rounds of golf for two players was £500. Definitely a more attractive option than enduring cold and wet weather back home. We can't promise your balls will stay dry though…there's a fair amount of water to negotiate! https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/las-colinas https://lascolinasgolf.com/en/ Do you agree...

2025/01/23

And we ask whether some clubs in Britain and Ireland are now out of reach for regular golfers.We are joined by two guests: Dan Murphy is the Editor of NCG's Top 100 list, and this year Ian and Neil have joined his ratings panel to judge Scotland's top courses. And NCG's Steve Carroll has been comparing the prices of all the top courses in GB & Ireland. Why...

Hayling, Hampshire, England

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2024/12/22

The search for a golf course in great condition in the middle of winter, where fairway mats aren't compulsory, takes us to this highly-rated south coast links.But if you can wait until summer, this is a great place to take advantage of cheaper twilight rates.https://www.haylinggolf.co.uk/https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/haylingDo you agree with our review?

It's our 50th episode!!!The 40C heat made Neil wilt at gorgeous Royal Adelaide but, fortunately, when it had dropped, he was fit to join Mrs W in an Ashes-style battle with their Aussie hosts.With the iconic train in the background, the fun (and the sledging) began.https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/royal-adelaidehttps://www.royaladelaidegolf.com.au/cms/Do you agree with our review?

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

From its elevated position close to the coast, the Isle of Purbeck features views as good as any in the UK. The owners have put a lot of effort into improving the condition of the course in recent years.Ian enjoys a winter round with champagne and comedy in equal measure, and chats to the club's head greenkeeper about the challenge of keeping a course playable all year round.www.purbeckgolf.co.uk/Do you agree with our review?

Port Fairy, Victoria, Australia

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2024/12/12

Here's a course you might not even have heard of - unless you live in Australia. It's not in the World's Top 100 - but it is in the Top 50 in Australia. Ian and Neil argue over whether it's even worth devoting an episode to discuss it….but Neil has played it, and reckons it's got some of the most memorable holes anywhere!

Knole Park, Kent, England

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2024/12/03

Deer me! Golfers at Knole Park must share the course with several hundred deer, as well as visitors to the National Trust's impressive stately home and grounds, once frequented by Henry VIII.But lovers of more recent history can walk in the footsteps of The Beatles, who filmed two music videos here! Some steep climbs provide splendid views of the Kent countryside, but a misplaced shot could leave you feeling like The Fool On The Hill....www.knoleparkgolfclub.co.ukwww.thegolfpilgri...

2024/11/28

Strewth! What a pair of golf courses!Neil goes Down Under and finds that it's not just Australian beaches that have sand as far as the eye can see. Perfect your bunker shots here and you'll never have a problem getting out of them anywhere.Melbourne West is regularly rated in the top 10 courses in the world, and the East course is also one of the best in Australia.https://www.royalmelbourne.com.au/https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/royal-melbourne-westhttps://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/pos...

Seacroft, Lincolnshire, England

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2024/11/17

Who doesn't like a bargain? Seacroft is the cheapest Top 100 Course in England, with a round available for less than £40 in winter, and even in summer you can get a twilight round for less than £50.And being a links course, it's still very playable in winter, with a different set of seasonal tees to provide a fresh test.https://www.seacroft-golfclub.co.uk/www.thegolfpilgrim.comDo you agree with our review?

Chart Hills, Kent, England

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2024/11/11

Is there a course in the UK with more sand? Let us know...but it certainly has the longest bunker we've ever seen, running more than two hundred yards along a fairway. We didn't count how many rakes it needed.....Chart Hills was designed by Sir Nick Faldo but after suffering from poor drainage has undergone major renovations in recent years, and has been rewarded with a place in England's Top 100.THIS EPISODE HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE AN INTERVIEW WITH CHART HILLS’ GENERAL MANAGER...

Hindhead, Surrey, England

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2024/10/20

The writer who created Sherlock Holmes played a major role in the creation of this heathland gem. Arthur Conan Doyle was a founder member and the club's first President, and lived nearby. As did legendary golf commentator Peter Alliss, who was also a big fan of Hindhead, which boasts some spectacular holes you will never forget.www.hindheadgolfclub.co.ukwww.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/hindheadDo you agree with our review?

A celebratory episode, as Wentworth West, the home of the BMW PGA Championship, is the hundredth of the Top 100 Courses in England that Neil has managed to play. So we have cameo appearances from BBC cricket oommentator Jonathan Agnew (who's seen hundreds of centuries in his career, but none that have taken four years to complete.)

Granville, Normandy. France

France's only links course, originally designed by Harry Colt, plays host to a Ryder Cup-style match between French and British journalists.

Ryder Cup Special!It may be 12 months away but we are all looking forward to Europe defending the trophy on American soil. Our special guest is Sky Sports golf reporter Jamie Weir, who managed to stir up the crowd at the last Ryder Cup in Italy with his Capgate story about Patrick Cantlay.
