Whilst the lower fifth will always be up for debate this is an ideal place to start if you are looking to play the best courses in England.
The beauty of their website is that you can dig much deeper into seven regional charts across the country if you so wish.
Comparing it to the equivalent lists from National Club Golfer and Golf World the course that immediately jumps out is the private Queenwood. Due to its limited play by the golfing public judging and ranking a course like this is not easy so fair play to Top 100 for including it. The Top 100 website is the only list to also include the three Woburn courses - the Club requested not to be in the other two publications! The Wisley, another very private club, is another that is on the Top 100 website list but not on the other two lists.
Two other courses which are also featured here but do not make the other two lists are; Thorndon Park and Coxmoor. These do occupy the last two spots though. The recently renovated Stoke Park is also only included here but there is every chance it will be included in all three other time.
A number of courses that feature in both the other two lists but not here are; Piltdown, Fulford, Seascale, The Belfry, Formby Ladies, Berkhamsted, St. Annes Old Links, Thorpeness and Centurion.
Golf Empire founder, Ed Battye, has played all the courses on the list (99 out of 100) and below you can find links to his golf course reviews with his own personal thoughts.
