Castletown Golf Links Voted 81
2004, GOLF WORLD TOP 100

NOVEMBER ISSUE, OUT OCTOBER 8

Castletown Golf Links: Why it’s so good: This is links golf at its best- how nature, not mankind meant it to be, with firm, tight fairways and fast running greens. The course lies on the Langness Peninsula a beautiful rugged strip of land at the southern tip of the island. Stunning Views of the Irish Sea and the rugged coastal cliffs are visible from every hole and are only masked by daunting dunes that form part of the overall playing experience.

From Aberdovey to Woodhall Spa, The K Club to Carnoustie, Golf World’s panel of experts and reader testers has rated and reviewed hundreds of courses in the British Isles to produce this definitive list of the nation’s Top 100.

Among the established near perfect world-beaters, great strides have been made by some up-and-coming courses and there are also eight new entries, the highest being Greg Norman’s magnificent Doonbeg in County Clare.

Another stunning Irish links, Old Head of Kinsale, was the highest climber, leaping 38 places and further validating club President John O’Connor’s claim that it would be the No.1 course on Earth within the next five years. It’s certainly heading in the right direction but still has some way to go to dislodge the likes of Muirfield, St Andrews, Royal County Down, Royal Birkdale and Turnberry.

From 1 to 100, this list is the ultimate guide to golf in these Isles. Discover the true Top 100 in our November issue, out on October 8th. How many have you played?
