About this listen

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.

  • El Paraiso, Andalucia, Spain

    El Paraiso, Andalucia, Spain
    Jul 1 2025

    The grass may be green and as well-manicured as any we’ve seen this year, but it certainly doesn’t grow under the feet of the management at El Paraiso between Marbella and Estepona on the Costa Del Sol.

    This is a club that's on the move, and don’t be surprised to see it enhance its position in Spain’s top 100.

  • Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, Andalucia, Spain

    Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, Andalucia, Spain
    Jun 27 2025

    An exclusive, private club in one of Spain’s most upmarket resorts - but a small number of visitors are allowed to play at Las Brisas, especially in summer.

    So you can follow in the footsteps of Sean Connery, who used to be a member, and top footballers, who still are.

    It was designed by Robert Trent Jones and updated by Kyle Phillips - who tells us about the changes he made.
