Huntercombe (1901) – Willie Park Jr.’s inland experiment that changed golf design forever. With clever sandless “Park’s pots” instead of traditional bunkers, it proved great golf isn’t only found by the sea. A living lesson in strategy and creativity. #GolfHistory
Up a massive 30 places in the National Club Golfer top 100 list. Genuine recognition for this Willie Park Jnr links.
Feels like another move in the right direction for a course that is so much fun to play. 124 years in the making.
Right now the greens at @ClubHuntercombe are the best they have ever been. I cant tell you what a pleasure it is to play out there. Add a little autumn sunshine and you have near perfect conditions for a flash around the 'combe.
Good luck to all today playing on our Company Golf Day. We hope they enjoy the course as much as the famous author, Ian Fleming, who would complete all 18 holes in under two hours!
There's a UK & Ireland Top 100 ranking out from the US @GOLF_com magazine.
This graphic shows how it compares to an aggregate of the @TheTodaysGolfer, @GolfMonthly, @top100golf and @NCG_com lists.
I've written an article on some of the differences here -

Very good list IMHO - but then I would say that as it is extremely similar to 2022 @GolfWorld1 GB&I 100. The top 40 especially! Enjoy Fraserburgh and Huntercombe inclusions lower down a lot.
I’m sure Peter Snow, I mean @ukgolfguy, will be along with some analysis shortly.
