Golf Monthly Ranking
Sunday, October 17, 2004 at 10:21 AM Golf Monthly (UK) has posted their top 120 UK courses ranking, breaking it down into two groups. In the Top 10 you will find the “Westin Turnberry Resort (Ailsa)” at #3. A separate page reveals the remaining 110 courses where you’ll find Royal Dornoch unfathomably buried down at #56, 22 slots behind the New Course at St. Andrews.
**Update: John Huggan in The Scotsman dissects the list: "Despite billing its first attempt in the ranking business as based purely on the quality of the courses, Monthly’s list is nothing of the sort, though it is hard to argue with the Old Course at St Andrews being No.1 in the British Isles under any criteria."
Huggan also suggests a list of the best 100 courses never to make a list.
