Loch Lomond, Dumbartonshire, Scotland

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/10/15

The great American golfer Tom Weiskopf won the Open at Troon and was runner-up at the Masters at Augusta four times. But when he designed this exclusive course on the banks of Loch Lomond, he considered it his lasting memorial to golf. Loch Lomond's website gives a clue to the membership, claiming it's only "90 minutes from London, two hours from Paris, and approximately six hours from both New York and Dubai." Neil drove up from Nottingham for a taste of the high life… https://www.theg...

Carne, County Mayo, Ireland

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/10/10

When golf writer Tom Coyne travelled around Ireland playing all its great links courses, everyone was keen to know which one he enjoyed the most. Carne was not the favourite that most would have expected. But its rawness and remoteness stole his heart, and he helped publicise its charms worldwide, which helped save the club when it almost went out of business. Tom tells the Golf Pilgrim what makes Carne so special. https://carnegolflinks.com/ https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/carne-ha...

Hunstanton, Norfolk, England

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/09/30

Have you ever had a hole-in-one, three days running, on the same hole? In a competition? No, we didn't think so. That's why the 16th at Hunstanton Golf Club has a plaque honouring Bob Taylor. He tells us about his extraordinary feat at the Norfolk course in 1974, and we learn what makes "Sunny Hunny" on England's east coast so special. https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/hunstanton https://www.hunstantongolfclub.com/ Do you agree with our review?

2025/09/25

The Golf Pilgrim teams up with two of the internet’s most popular golf video creators at one of Ireland’s most popular courses! Rosses Point at County Sligo is set amid the stunning scenery which inspired the Nobel Prize-winning poet WB Yates.

Bro Hof Slott, Stockholm, Sweden

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/09/20

England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Spain, France and Italy have all hosted the Ryder Cup. And yet Sweden - which has provided ten players in the European Team - is still waiting. We think the Stadium Course at Bro Hof Slott near Stockholm would be an excellent venue. With a castle for a clubhouse, it's built for matchplay drama and can accommodate large crowds. There are two courses to test visitors and an 18-hole putting course! https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/bro-hof-slott-stadium...

Narin & Portnoo, Donegal, Ireland

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/09/15

There are some links courses where golfers will never see the sea, and then there are some that hug the coastline so tightly that the beach is a tempting diversion. At Narin & Portnoo, they tell the story of a German couple who thought they had got lost but emerged several hours late to say they had decided to have a picnic on the beach. Needless to say, the views on this Donegal gem are tremendous, and so are the holes. https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/narin-portnoo ...

Ullna, Stockholm, Sweden

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/09/09

There's never been a sportsman like Sven Tumba. After playing Ice hockey at the Winter Olympics and football in the European Cup, he turned his attention to golf, became a professional, and represented Sweden in the World Cup. Oh, and he was also Sweden's best waterskier. He's credited with popularising golf in Sweden, and designed the course at Ullna which opened in 1981. When it needed a revamp, he called up his friend Jack Nicklaus to oversee it. The course is now rated o...

Lough Erne (Faldo), County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/09/05

Must golfers come to Ireland for a Links experience, but Lough Erne offers something different. Designed by 6-time major winner Sir Nick Faldo, and opened in 2009, it's been named in the top ten parkland courses in GB & Ireland. Rory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington celebrated its opening by playing a challenge match…find out how Rory made his mark with a stunning drive. And co-designer Guy Hockley explains how and why the 18th is a challenging par 3. Do you agree with our review? Tex...

Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland

2025/08/31

Sky Sports golf commentator Ewen Murray has worked and played at the world's most famous courses. But ask him his favourite….and he'll tell you to go to a links course in East Lothian, which more illustrious neighbours surround. Ewen became a member of Dunbar when he was a promising junior golfer, commuting by bus and train from his home in Edinburgh. It's a stunning piece of land where they've been playing golf for 400 years. https://www.dunbargolfclub.com/ https://www.thegolfpil...

Österåker (Öster by Stenson), Stockholm, Sweden

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/08/26

After a cameo appearance in our Royal Troon epsiode, Henrik Stenson is back to talk about the Swedish course that bears his name. The former Open champion has teamed up with architect Christian Lundin to revamp the two 18 hole courses at this property near Stockholm. The East course reopened in 2019 and is already in Europe's Top 100, while the West will soon be completed. https://ostgk.se/en/ Do you agree with our review? Text us your opinion!

Renaissance Club, East Lothian, Scotland

2025/08/21

Fancy a round at the exclusive course which hosts the Scottish Open? Renaissance is a private members' club for the wealthy. But when the Golf Pilgrim played with Jerry Sarvadi, he suggested anyone who wants a game should give him a call or send him an email! You're likely to be vetted…the club suggests its "One Time Experience" deal is for potential members. But there's no harm in asking…. https://trcaa.com/ https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/renaissance Do you agree with our re...

Åland (Castle), Åland Islands, Finland

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/08/16

A hundred years ago, the Åland Islands were the subject of an international dispute that had to be settled by the League of Nations. Are they Finnish or Swedish? Well, for the last century, the answer is a bit of both. The archipelago is part of Finland, but everyone speaks Swedish. And although the golf courses are relatively modern, the site is historic, with a castle and Viking burial grounds nearby. https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/%C3%A5lands-castle https://www.agk.ax/en ...

Royal Troon, Ayrshire, Scotland

An all-star edition in which we visit one of the world's best-known courses and talk to two famous figures who know it well. Royal Troon is a regular host of The Open Championship, and in 2016, Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson played some spectacular golf as they vied to become Champion Golfer of the Year. Henrik won, shooting a record 20 under par, and he tells The Golf Pilgrim of his love for the course. We also hear from BBC Commentator Andrew Cotter, who grew up as a member at Roya...

Kytäjä, Uusimaa, Finland

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/08/06

A tale of two courses…one which has mysteriously slipped out of Europe's Top 100 list, while its once lesser-ranked twin has overtaken it. At one point Kytäjä’s South-East course was rated as high as 65th in the continental list and was Number One in Finland. But this stylish resort sited between a forest and a gorgeous lake is definitely worth a visit. Both South-East and North-West courses are great. Make up your own mind which one is best…. www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/kyt%C3%A4j%C3%A...

Western Gailes, Ayrshire, Scotland

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/08/01

Western Gailes, on a narrow strip of land between the Ayrshire coast and a railway line is a tough test for any golfer. That's why it's been used as an Open qualifying venue and recently staged the Scottish women's amateur championship. The closing holes in particular will leave you breathless, even when the wind isn't whipping off the sea. Its clubhouse has a very traditional feel, and Western Gailes is now one of the few remaining Scottish clubs with a men-only membership policy, thou...

Linna, Kanta-Häme, Finland

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/07/27

Finland is often rated as the happiest nation in the world. Is it because of its high standard of living? Is it the beauty of the landscape, or because Finns spend so much time in saunas? Or could it be because they have some beautiful golf courses like Linna which feature in continental Europe's Top 100? One of the holes on this course was designed by the winner of a competition - and Dave Sampson went on to have a successful career as a golf architect. We talk to him about Linna...

Camberley Heath, Surrey, England

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/07/22

There are so many highly rated courses in this part of England, that Camberley Heath probably doesn't get the attention it deserves, even though it's in England's Top 100. But this Harry Colt heathland gem should be on your must-play list, and not just because it's a good deal cheaper to play than many of its illustrious Surrey neighbours. Towering pines line the fairways, and there are plenty of elevation changes to make for a challenging, but fun round. https://www.camberleyheathgolfclub.co...

Pärnu Bay, Estonia

2025/07/17

We're publishing our review of Estonia's top course on a famous day in the country's golf history. It's Day One of The Open championship at Royal Portrush, and, for the first time, an Estonian golfer will be among those taking part! Richard Teder, an amateur, qualified in stunning fashion a few weeks earlier - and by coincidence, he did so while Neil was at Pärnu Bay in Estonia - which is ranked in the Top 100 courses in continental Europe. There was much excitement back home… Ian...

Seaton Carew, County Durham, England

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2025/07/12

When a young Scottish surgeon moved across the border to north-east England in the early 1870s, he was shocked o discover that there was nowhere for him to play his favourite sport. And so The Durham and Yorkshire Golf Club was born, later renamed Seaton Carew. For the next century, heavy industry dominated the landscape, but in the midst of it all, there is a golfing oasis, which for decades has been recognised as one of England's best courses. And not content with having 18 great hole...
