    Was Wentworth Worth It? Wentworth West Course Review

    Every golfer in Britain has seen Wentworth's first tee on TV. Almost nobody gets to stand on it. We did — and by the end of the round, we disagreed with each other about where it actually ranks.

Check out our pics and scorecard from Wentworth This episode covers our round on the West Course at Wentworth Golf Club, home of the BMW PGA Championship: the sub-air greens system, the "another planet" clubhouse, standing on the actual championship tee with the grandstands up, and the honest debate about whether Wentworth's reputation is built on fame or genuinely deserved. Inside this episode: Standing on the championship first tee with the grandstands already upThe sub-air system greens — the best putting surfaces either of us has ever playedWhy Wentworth doesn't fit neatly into "heathland" or "parkland," and whether that's cost it in the rankingsSteven Spielberg's house on the 3rd holeThe genuine disagreement: Chris ranks it his new number two all-time. Nish says it sits just outside his top five — even after calling it his favourite day on the challenge so farThe one thing that actually helps us reach more golfers is you hitting follow right now.

    How the Solheim Cup Will Be Won or Lost, with Sophie Walker - Sky Sports Golf Analyst

    Nelly Korda is the best player in the world — and she's lost her last two Solheim Cup singles matches. Sky Sports Golf's Sophie Walker joins us to explain why, and to put her name to a score. This episode is powered by Fourball Draws - where you can win a fourball on some elite courses for just a fiver - visit fourballs.co.uk and use code TOP100 to buy 2 or more tickets and get one absolutely free! Sophie Walker is back on the show ahead of the twentieth Solheim Cup, live on Sky Sports Golf from Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands, 11–13 September. We get into the stories nobody else is covering properly: Anna Nordqvist's decision to captain rather than play after nine straight Solheim Cup appearances, the real story behind Gimmegate, two very different pregnancy narratives either side of the Atlantic, and whether Nelly Korda's aura has actually cracked. Then Sophie calls the score. If you're new here — this is Top 100 in 10, where we're trying to play every course in the UK and Ireland's Top 100 in ten years. Hit follow if you want to come along for the ride. It's the one thing that actually helps us reach more golfers.

    Walton Heath Golf Club, Part 1: The Most Significant Clubhouse We've Seen

    WeI've never dedicated a whole episode to a clubhouse before. Walton Heath Golf Club changed that. This episode is powered by Fourball Draws - where you can win a fourball on some elite courses for just a fiver - visit fourballs.co.uk and use code TOP100 to buy 2 or more tickets and get one absolutely free! We played this Surrey Heathland course in a back-to-back pairs event — old course one day, new course the next — but by the time I'd walked its corridors, I knew the clubhouse itself needed its own feature. This episode isn't about the golf (that's part two). It's about everything that happens before you even put a tee in the ground: a king who served as club captain, four former Prime Ministers on the wall, a hidden museum dedicated to James Braid tucked behind the pro shop, and a hospitality standard — the "Walton Way" — that actually lives up to the name. Inside this episode: Why Walton Heath's reputation is more intimidating than the realityJames Braid: five Open wins, 46 years as the club's professional, and why he refused to change a single thing about the course designThe museum most visitors walk straight pastPrince Edward, four Prime Ministers, and the 1981 Ryder CupThe terrace, the giant putting green, and one genuinely odd walk to the driving rangePart two — the actual golf — is coming in a couple of weeks.

    Formby Golf Club Review: Classy and Unforgettable

    We didn't expect Formby Golf Club to feel like this. After playing our way through England's Golf Coast, we assumed we knew what to expect — heather, gorse, that classic Southport links look. Formby threw that out the window. This episode is powered by Fourball Draws - where you can win a fourball on some elite courses for just a fiver - visit fourballs.co.uk and use code TOP100 to buy 2 or more tickets and get one absolutely free! In this episode we review Formby Golf Club, ranked among the Top 100 Golf Courses in the UK and Ireland, and now sitting at 39 in our list (up from 52). We talk through the tree-lined, almost heathland-meets-links character that makes it stand apart from its Golf Coast neighbours, the story behind the club's famous hippo head trophy (stolen luck, a warship, and a letter to the Admiralty), our Signature Hole Challenge on the par-five 8th, and why a £320 green fee might just be worth it. We also cover: The Donald Steel-redesigned 7th and why it's one of the best strategic holes on the courseHole 3's reputation as one of the best tee shots in the Northwest of EnglandThe stretch from 12 to 14, including why you should always play 14 from the championship teesOur verdict on whether Formby cracks the top five golf courses we've played so farFormby Golf Club joins our ongoing challenge to play every course in the Top 100 Golf Courses UK and Ireland ranking in 10 years, alongside nearby links and heathland courses like Hillside, Wallasey, and Royal Birkdale.

    Wentworth Golf Club Preview: The One Nish Manifested!

    Nish manifested a round at Wentworth on one of our earliest episodes — and this week, it actually happened. This episode is powered by Fourball Draws - where you can win a fourball on some elite courses for just a fiver - visit fourballs.co.uk and use code TOP100 to buy 2 or more tickets and get one absolutely free! We're in the car on the way to Virginia Water to play the West Course — Burma Road — as a member's guest, the only way on at one of Britain's most gated golf clubs.  Before we plug the car in, we cover: the 1926 match at Wentworth that gave birth to the Ryder Cup; why the fairways went wild in WWII and the extraordinary story of who cleared them; the property developer who hired Harry Colt to build two golf courses just to sell houses; the Ernie Els redesign that had Ian Poulter fuming ("I don't like this golf course. Period."); the only sub-air greens in England; and the big one-round dilemma — with only one crack at Wentworth, do you go for everything or protect the scorecard? Plus: our Ryder Cup venue match play returns, a bunkerless 600-yard Signature Hole Challenge, silver-engraved honours boards, and an "elite" breakfast. This is our preview from the road — the full review episode follows once we've played it.

    Liphook Golf Club Review: A Heathland With The Best Greens We've Ever Played

    It chucked it down for all 18 holes — and we still walked off calling these the best greens we've played on any of our 28 Top 100 courses. This episode is powered by Fourball Draws - where you can win a fourball on some elite courses for just a fiver - visit fourballs.co.uk and use code TOP100 to buy 2 or more tickets and get one absolutely free! Liphook Golf Club sits quietly in the Surrey/Hampshire sand belt at #79 in the Top 100 — and almost nobody outside it seems to know. This week we review it with a member, Oscar, who talks us through his top three holes (including the two new ones from the redesign), the greens running 12.6 on the stimp, and the digital twin technology he's building to let you play a course before you've set foot on it. Also in this episode: Andrew's cricket-glove rain hack, a par three that cost Chris and Nish 11 shots between them, the seventh hole that straddles two counties, and why a summer twilight round here might be the best £135 in Top 100 golf. The one thing that actually helps us reach more golfers is you hitting follow right now — it takes two seconds and it genuinely makes the difference.

    100th Episode Special: Two Years, 28 Courses & One Betrayal at Loch Lomond

    One hundred episodes in, and Chris drops the bombshell we've been sitting on: he played Loch Lomond — Scotland's most exclusive golf club — and he did it without us. This episode is powered by Fourball Draws - where you can win a fourball on some elite courses for just a fiver - visit fourballs.co.uk and use code TOP100 to buy 2 or more tickets and get one absolutely free! Two years. 100 weekly episodes. 28 courses ticked off the Top 100 (29 if you're Chris). To mark the milestone, Jim takes the hosting chair and puts us under the microscope: the episode-one memories, the courses we'd play again because we got them wrong first time (Cruden Bay, S&A, West Lancs), whether Silloth has finally been knocked off Chris's No.1 spot, the courses that blew us away when we least expected it (Delamere, Gullane, Ganton), and inside Loch Lomond's locker room — the plushest place in golf. Plus what's coming: Wentworth with the BMW PGA stands up, Royal Birkdale after The Open, the Old Course, and a date with the Postage Stamp at Troon. Thank you for every listen, message and follow over 100 episodes. The one thing that actually helps us reach more golfers is you hitting follow right now — here's to the next hundred.
