Golf Empire founder, Ed Battye, has played all of these links courses in Scotland and below he lists them in order of his personal preference.
Also included are several links course which we strongly believe should have been included in the book but for some reason were omitted.
We certainly do not claim this to be a definitive list so please don't be offended if you disagree with the order or your blood boils because your personal favourite languishes far too low.
It's merely one man's opinion on the many fabulous links golf courses of Scotland.
Hopefully this provides more interest than a list created by a panel which can often dilute the flavour of any given ranking.
We are always very interested in your opinions so please leave your own review.
