About this listen

This is the essential podcast for those planning to play the world's top golf courses.


We now have dozens of reviews from Top 100 courses in the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia, the USA and Australia…and the library is building every week. All the episodes are stand alone - you don't have to listen to them in any particular order.

In 2020 Neil White 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.

    Sky Sports golf commentator Ewen Murray has worked and played at the world's most famous courses. But ask him his favourite….and he'll tell you to go to a links course in East Lothian, which more illustrious neighbours surround.

    Ewen became a member of Dunbar when he was a promising junior golfer, commuting by bus and train from his home in Edinburgh. It's a stunning piece of land where they've been playing golf for 400 years.

    After a cameo appearance in our Royal Troon episode, Henrik Stenson is back to discuss the Swedish course that bears his name.

    The former Open champion has teamed up with architect Christian Lundin to revamp the two 18-hole courses at this property near Stockholm. The East course reopened in 2019 and is already in Europe's Top 100, while the West course will soon be completed.

  • Renaissance Club, East Lothian, Scotland

    Renaissance Club, East Lothian, Scotland

    Fancy a round at the exclusive course which hosts the Scottish Open?

    Renaissance is a private members' club for the wealthy. But when the Golf Pilgrim played with Jerry Sarvadi, he suggested anyone who wants a game should give him a call or send him an email!

    You're likely to be vetted…the club suggests its "One Time Experience" deal is for potential members. But there's no harm in asking….
