  • Las Colinas, Costa Blanca, Spain
    Feb 2 2025

    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!

  • How Good? How Much??
    Jan 23 2025

    To mark the start of our partnership with National Club Golfer, we find out how courses earn their ranking in the Top 100. 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 are some so expensive, and are there still bargains to be had? His advice could help you plan your golf holiday this year….

    And it's off to sunny Spain to shake off the winter blues and kick off a new year of Top 100 golf reviews.

    This course in Seville was designed by two-time Masters winner Jose Maria Olazabal and, since it opened in 1992, it has staged three Spanish Opens.

  • The best of the best of 2024.
    Dec 27 2024

    It's our final podcast of the year, so rather than reviewing one course, we are looking back over our previous episodes and choosing the best of the best.

    Which courses, holes and centres of golfing excellence really stood out? And because we are talking about members of the Top 100, rest assured that there will be no turkeys in this Christmas special!

    Happy New Year!

  • Hayling, Hampshire, England
    Dec 22 2024

    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.

  • Royal Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
    Dec 19 2024

    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.

  • Isle of Purbeck, Dorset, England
    Dec 15 2024

    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.

  • Port Fairy, Victoria, Australia
    Dec 12 2024

    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! So do let us know if you enjoyed it!
