Episode 85: World Top 100 Golf Courses On A Budget

August 18, 2025·55 min·3 clips

Most world top 100 courses are public. Nine are under 100 pounds; 21 under 150 pounds at off-peak times.

James Henderson and Jasper Miners discuss affordable access to world-class golf courses, challenging the perception that Top 100 courses are exclusive. They highlight the Sussex cluster (West Sussex, Royal Ashdown, Piltdown, Crowborough Beacon—all within 20 minutes and under 300 pounds for three rounds), Lanark as the oldest inland course (1851, Old Tom Morris), and a planned Scottish tour including hidden gems like Southerness, Powfoot, and Sillith (UK ranked 47th). They reveal research showing 60-70% of world top 100 courses are publicly accessible, with nine costing under 100 pounds and 21 under 150 pounds at off-peak times.
