This month saw the release of the 2024 Top 100 list from Australian Golf Digest. What must be said, it is probably the most controversial, or thought provoking in some time.

2023 Top 100 Golf Courses Public Access
Last month saw the release of the 2023 Golf Australia Magazine Top 100 public access golf course list. This is revised every two years, with a part of this period affected by Covid lockdowns.

Ideas when not on the Golf Course
I do a fair share of golf trips with just my wife. She doesn’t play golf however so we always try to find areas with a bit to do off the course. Having traveled with me, whilst playing quite a few courses during my Top 100 Quest, she certainly had the chance to find check out the local areas. So …
