## Resource

In this episode of the NCG Top 100s podcast, Tom Irwin and Dan Murphy continue their countdown of the new NCG Top 100s: Scotland list, focusing on the courses ranked from 100 to 11 — and the remarkable strength in depth that defines Scottish golf. They break down standout venues including Western Gailes, Leven Links, Ladybank, Gullane, Machrihanish and Dunbar, while also shining a light on the Kingdom of Fife and why it remains one of the richest golfing regions anywhere in the world. The discussion also tackles one of the list’s most intriguing inclusions: how a nine-hole course earned its place among Scotland’s best, and why it deserves far more respect than it often gets. Together, Tom and Dan make the case that Scotland’s golfing excellence extends well beyond its most famous top 10 names. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
