Happy golfing from everyone at the Top 100 Team wherever you are in the world.

A Golfer's Dream

A Golfer's Dream

A golfer’s dream by Larry Berle tells the story about his extraordinary adventure that spanned 10 years, a journey which somehow transported him to the first tee at each and every one of America’s Top 100 golf courses.

This September, we asked Larry if he would rate the U.S. Top 100 for us using our simple 1-6 golf ball rating system. Larry agreed and also allowed us to post online a series of exclusive reviews, which are edited extracts from his book. For the next 100 days there will be one of Larry’s reviews posted on the Top 100 website.

Suffolk Punches Well Above Its Weight

Ipswich (Purdis Heath)

Our English Best In County rankings review continues with Suffolk, in East Anglia, second on our list.

The Top 4 remain unchanged, although the gap between our No.1 Purdis Heath and our No.2 Aldeburgh has closed even more tightly. The Heath course at Woodbridge came out a clear third ahead of Thorpeness. However, from position five onwards, it’s all change.
