For the first time in the history of The Golf Pilgrim, we think a Top 100 club is charging too little for visitors to play their course! Dunstanburgh Castle has been offering a a special twilight deal where a round costs just £30….oh, and that also includes a pizza and beer afterwards!

The regular green fee is still incredibly good value for a links course with stunning views which has now leapt into England’s Top 100.

Unlike so many of Ireland’s finest courses, Galgorm Castle is not a links, and it is miles from the sea. But you are never far from water.
14 of the 18 holes feature water hazards, with lakes and rivers cutting through the course.
Galgorm has staged many professional tournaments, with Ryan Fox and Aaron Rai among those who’ve challenged for titles here.

Castlerock is on prime links golf land on Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast. Its close proximity to Portrush and Portstewart is both a blessing and a curse; the Mussenden course used to be seen as living in the shadow of its famous neighbours, but visitors to the area often add Castlerock to their itinerary and are delighted with what they find.

And if its 18 holes aren’t enough of a challenge, the 9 hole Bann course is rated as even trickier..

As we approach the 20th anniversary of the 2006 Ryder Cup at the K Club, it's a good time to revisit the course which has provided so many great memories.

The Arnold Palmer designed parkland course has hosted numerous professional events, so this is your opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Rory McIlroy who has twice won the Irish Open here in dramatic style.

Our special guest David Howell recalls his memories of the course as both a Ryder Cup player, and as a television commentator.

Earier this year Ryan Fox joined us on The Golf Pilgrim to talk about some of his favourite courses in New Zealand.

In July, Ryan became the Champion Golfer of the Year, lifting the Claret Jug at Royal Birkdale!

Having reviewed the course a few weeks earlier, and presented The Golf Pilgrim guide on how to play Royal Birkdale, it seemed like a good idea to hear from the man who conquered the course. So we're delighted to say - welcome back Ryan, as he describes how he did it…..

And this is our Royal Birkdale episode:

Castletown on the Isle of Man is rightly proud of its pedigree.

Old Tom Morris laid out the original links, Alister MacKenzie made improvements 20 years later, and Philip Mackenzie Ross updated it after the Second World War.

It has some of the most dramatic holes in the British Isles, and its incredible 18th hole was the climax of Neil's six-year quest to play GB & Ireland's top 100.
