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.

  • Enniscrone, County Sligo, Ireland

    Enniscrone, County Sligo, Ireland
    Oct 20 2025

    Back to the west coast of Ireland and another links course on the Wild Atlantic Way.

    Enniscrone is rated highly enough to feature in the top 100 in GB & Ireland, having been extended from 9 to 18 holes by Eddie Hackett in the 1970s.

    The course is situated among towering dunes, and even if you don’t encounter many birdies or eagles during your round, you should spot a variety of birdlife in this tranquil haven.

    The great American golfer Tom Weiskopf won the Open at Troon and was runner-up at the Masters at Augusta four times. But when he designed this exclusive course on the banks of Loch Lomond, he considered it his lasting memorial to golf.

    Loch Lomond's website gives a clue to the membership, claiming it's only "90 minutes from London, two hours from Paris, and approximately six hours from both New York and Dubai."

    Neil drove up from Nottingham for a taste of the high life…

  • Carne, County Mayo, Ireland

    Carne, County Mayo, Ireland
    Oct 10 2025

    When golf writer Tom Coyne travelled around Ireland playing all its great links courses, everyone was keen to know which one he enjoyed the most. Carne was not the favourite that most would have expected.

    But its rawness and remoteness stole his heart, and he helped publicise its charms worldwide, which helped save the club when it almost went out of business.

    Tom tells the Golf Pilgrim what makes Carne so special.
