The Golf Pilgrim Top 100
The essential guide to the world's top golf courses. Neil White and Ian Woods review the Top 100 courses in the UK and Ireland, continental Europe and the World!
In 2020 Neil began a challenge to play all of the world's top courses. You can read his reviews at www.thegolfpilgrim.com. Now you can listen to his reviews, as he gives an honest account of the courses, the practice facilities, and the food available. Is it value for money? Will you be made to feel welcome as a visitor?
There are champagne and comedy moments to discuss, in the company of his fellow journalist and pal Ian Woods. Ian's a former Sky News and BBC Correspondent, who's now working for ITV. He's played a lot of great courses too, and is a former Captain of the Press Golfing Society.
In the coming months we will add to the reviews, assembling a go-to site to help you choose your next golf destination. All the episodes are stand alone - you don't have to listen to them in any particular order, but find out more about your hosts in the Who? What? Why trailer episode.
The Golf Pilgrim Top 100
Belle Dune, Hauts-de-France, France
Travelling through the Channel Tunnel can be like entering a portal to an earlier era, where golf green fees are still reasonably priced.
Belle Dune is the first of three courses Neil played within easy reach of Calais, and they're around half the price you'd pay for the equivalent standard in the UK.
It’s a municipal course and it's a great example of how new courses can exist in harmony with nature.
