Seascale was announced as one of England’s top 100 in the 2026 list, and we discovered it was entirely deserving of its place. It has some classic links holes, including one over a farmer's field and another that is framed by the Sellafield nuclear power plant. As we discovered, it adds a fabulous layer of drama to matchplay golf. https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/seascale https://www.seascalegolfclub.co.uk/ This episode is sponsored by cmon.golf/ Do you agree with our review?

"Bury me in a pot bunker", wrote the legendary designer Pete Dye, so his friends and family did just that at the side of the eighth of his masterpiece, Teeth of the Dog. The Dominican Republic links, which sit on the edge of the Caribbean Sea, were restored while being closed for nearly a year. Now they are back to their thrilling best and will surely return to the world's top 100 after a short hiatus. https://www.casadecampo.com.do/ This episode is sponsored by cmon.golf/ Do you agree with...
A recent new entry into England’s Top 100, Appleby is not your average course. It’s a par 68, with no par 5s, but it does have what designer Mike Clayton calls “the nuttiest of nutty holes in the world”! With grazing sheep to help the green staff keep on top of grass management, and a bargain price for a Top 100 course, Appleby has found a host of admirers. https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/appleby https://applebygolfclub.co.uk/ Do you agree with our review?

The city of Belfast is in County Antrim, but Royal Belfast Golf Club is north-east of Northern Ireland's capital, in County Down. It's celebrating the centenary of its Harry Colt-designed parkland course on the shore of Belfast Lough. But the club is facing a very modern problem; a new housing development adjacent to the course means several holes will have to be reconfigured for health and safety reasons. The club hopes the changes will make the course even better. And its Victor...
Shane Lowry helped bring Baltray, County Louth, to wider acclaim when he won the Irish Open here as an amateur. But connoisseurs of Irish courses have always known this was one of the country’s finest links. It’s also the home course of the 2026 Amateur Champion Stuart Grehan, who tells us how it will help him prepare for playing in The Open, as well as the US Open and the Masters. County Louth remains a members' club at heart, but they’re getting used to sharing tee times with visitors from ...
Wallasey has not just one, but two great claims to fame, and is a course that attracts plaudits from those who play it. Bobby Jones, arguably the greatest amateur golfer in history, played in a qualifier at Wallasey and went on to win the Open Championship at Hoylake and complete the original Grand Slam. And those of you who prefer playing in stableford competitions rather than a medal round will be forever grateful to Frank Stableford, the Wallasey member who invented the scoring syste...
A famous old golf course, which is in the running to stage an Open Championship in the coming years, and we have two former Ryder Cup players who tell us why it should. Paul McGinley and Andrew Coltart are big fans of Portmarnock, and so are we… though do try to avoid the bunkers if you want to score well! Andrew also shares his memories of playing in the Walker Cup at Portmarnock, where he faced a cocky young amateur named Phil Mickelson. https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/portmarnoc...
Royal Dublin may be unique among links courses - while many others suffer from coastal erosion, its land grows bit by bit every year. Find out why by listening to this episode… And to guide us round, we have a caddie who has helped his man win the US Open. Colin Byrne has carried the bag for Retief Goosen, Ernie Els and many others, but can he help The Golf Pilgrim boys plot their way around his home course? https://www.thegolfpilgrim.com/post/royal-dublin https://www.theroyaldublingolfclub.c...
