Popular opinion might have you believing that the cream of the crop in the UK & Ireland lies north of the border or across the Irish Sea, but English courses fare well in the most illustrious of golfing company with the country boasting one shy of 50 of the UK and Ireland's top 100 golf courses. England is home to multiple Open Championship, Ryder Cup and DP World Tour venues and is renowned for its historic, world class links like Royal Birkdale and Royal St George's to its famous heathlands like Sunningdale and Swinley Forest.
England features some of most exclusive golf clubs in the UK like Queenwood, Wentworth and Bearwood Lakes, but none of these feature in our Top 100 rankings due to their exclusivity and that's why they do not feature below.
