A lot has happened since we sent out our last newsletter... many functional changes have been made to the Top 100 website, every country and area in the world has been re-ranked, new correspondents have joined the team and course reviews have been posted in abundance. Our ethos still remains the same - to showcase the world's greatest golf courses and to share the experiences of thousands of passionate golfers who have played these wonderful golf courses.

Our aim for this newsleatter is to offer a taste of what's new, but in a BiteSize format.  We always love to hear from you, so if you have any comments, suggestions or requests then don’t hesitate to contact us.

Happy Golfing from everyone at the Top 100 Team.
