79th CLUB RANKED A TOP
GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND COURSE

Thursday, 14 April 2005

Castletown Golf Links has been ranked amongst the finest courses in Great Britain and Ireland
in Golf Monthly’s Top 120 Course Rankings in association with HSBC.

The Golf Monthly Top 120 Course Rankings in association with HSBC were launched at the end of 2004 and will be reviewed every two years. The panel of judges toured Great Britain and Ireland to compare the many courses, scoring against four criteria: quality of test and design, visual appeal and enjoyment, presentation and ambience.

“We believe this end result is the most useful guide ever compiled for golfers who want a great day out as well as a serious golfing challenge”, comments Jane Carter, Editor of Golf Monthly.

Peter Stringham, Group General Manager Marketing of HSBC said, “HSBC is proud to sponsor the Golf Monthly Top 120 Course Rankings. As a bank, HSBC puts great store in the value of local knowledge and we hope that you will find these Rankings improve your knowledge of the golf courses in your area and further a field.”

Debbie Barron, Golf Director of Castletown comments “We are extremely delighted and honoured to receive this new achievement here at Castletown Golf Links.”
