All great courses but extremely expensive
Can you do hidden gems under £50
Please do one of these about best value courses
If you're in Scotland, Perthshire in particular, you have to try Murryshall and Blairgowrie – fantastic courses! Also, check out the 9-hole at Dalmunzie – completely unique!
Rosapenna Co Donegal is a great course here you have 3 links courses, Cuirt Island 9 holes is worth bagging when your nearby too. Portsalon and Ballyliffen are ace courses.
At Down Royal Ardglass is really good, SPA golf course is very well kept park course also. Best why to get there from England is the Stena Liverpool Belfast sailing, great sleeper over night Ferry 7am departure from the terminal. Donegal is 31/2 hours from the Ferry.
Good video. But is it possible to indicate the green fee for the course in question. Thanks.
I really wish I had the money to afford these courses, but I'm an average bloke who can't afford to remortgage my house!!!
What about working on a budget price has to come in what course you choose ?
Northumberland as an area is a total hidden gem … Bamburgh Castle, Dunstanburgh, Goswick … all exceptional and a fraction of the price of the North Berwick’s up the road
Another video which is as far removed from the reality of golf for most people as you can get. Two hundred quid plus a round is absolute pie in the sky for most people anytime let alone when we are in the grip of an economic crisis. These are not hidden gems, leave your free invites and press passes at home and find some real hidden gems we have a chance of affording. I have heard of every single one of those courses, hardly hidden are they ?
Lazy journalism.
The Cashen course at Ballybunion if it wasn’t next to it’s big brother would get rave reviews , a must play when in the area 🏌️♂️
Im from Bournemouth i dont have a handicap though i would really love one many top golf courses exclude you unless you have one and the 3 courses one of the panel members mentioned is parkstone, ferndown presidents and broadstone 2 you have to know a member and have a handicap though im in mid 18-22 high and more regularly get birdies eagles still no hole in one yet, or price to pay is £150 at broadstone and remedy oaks not far away but is abit pricey golf should be more inclusive but im lucky to have my legs and i love this sport so for links course ive played and have spectacular views of my lovely county of dorset foe less than 40 pound i'd say isle of purbeck golf course and bridport just for hole 6 anyway are my hidden gems🏌️♂️❤
I balk at giving ANY money to the ex president.
the hidden gem I know is the Old Works Golf Course in Anaconda Montana. built in the ruins of an old copper smelter, and they used the copper slag to fill the bunkers.
Considering the enormous knowledge base of this group to describe these courses (bar West Sussex) as “Hidden Gems” is a bit of a disappointment and a tad lazy….and to include a course that is part of one of the world’s biggest hotel groups (Trump)….really!
Fantastic unknown golf courses. These are truly hidden gems. Will forcefully suggest some of these on our next golfing trip. Cheers.
Not really hidden gems if they are already in the top 100? Surely a wasted opportunity here to highlight those courses that don't get and stay in the top 100 and there is generally very little movement and a bit of a closed shop.
Maybe have a series that looks at 'affordable' golf gems or courses out of the top 100?
Nice picks but that’s easy when green fees are £150. Can you pick 2 each under £50. I have one for you all old thorns golf club it’s like playing Woburn but 1/4 of the price
Great to listen to players favourite courses. It might of been worth mentioning their green fees, as well.
Beau desert it’s number 50 on the list and it’s pure plus it’s slab in the middle of the country on the Cannock Chace also a course that needs to be in the top 100 and isn’t and blows my mind is enville it is absolutely stunning place to go and play golf with two 18 hole courses that are just great
Played Enniscrone stunning.
Enjoying these analysis videos of the Top 100, hope there’s some others to come…..best value?
Cruit Island. The best 9 hole golf course you Will play. Won't be beaten for views or fun. Small greens are the protection to this course. Playing the 2nd 9 is even better as you get a chance to play the holes again and try not to get caught out by the course and it's quirky, smart design.
are you not looking at the comments,show us some hidden gems normal people can afford to play !!! it was the same with the top ten
I always thought an hidden gem is something that is not immediate. I don’t see any course in the top 100 being a gem in the true meaning of it
GM doing well again on the diversity scale. Four white middle aged, middle class blokes picking “middle class” golf courses. Well thought out.
Playing Wallasey in may, the Irish courses you’ve shown look amazing
Some classic tracks in there. However literally within a stones throw of Western Gailes and Dundonald is Barassie GC, which itself is a fantastic track (often sadly overshadowed by its neighbour courses) and appealingly AFFORDABLE to the average golfer.
Nothing like click bait is there. How is a course in the Top 100 of the whole UK a hidden gem? How about actually unearthing some real gems that the average man in the street can access & afford!
Royal st davids
Hidden gems – rates of green fees should be mentioned, to allow a personal judgement to be made.
Gillyflower Farm … cheap as chips, very quiet but a joy to play. Lostwithiel.
