Links golf is the purest and, in our opinion, the superior form of the game, however, there is an abundance of high quality golf to be played away from links terrain. Comparing golf courses generally is not an easy task but trying to judge differing styles of layouts together is even more difficult.
In many ways it is not comparing apples with apples and since we already have our top links golf courses of Great Britain & Ireland we thought it only fair to put an inland list together. Our definition of "inland" is actually more a case of "non-links" and as such you will see some coastal and seaside courses on the list.
Golf Empire founder, Ed Battye, has played several of the perceived best inland golf courses in Great Britain, from the heathland greats to the modern classics, and below he gives his Top 100 in order of personal preference.
We are always very interested in your opinions so please leave your own review.
