Episode 100: Top 100 Golf Courses Rankings Update

In this episode of the Top 100 Clubhouse, James and Jasper sit down to discuss updates and changes to the rankings, including a release of the New Zealand and Australia rankings in the coming weeks, thanks to an increased pool of contributors who have a lot of depth of play in the Oceania region.

The pair also discuss what's coming up for Top 100 Golf Courses for 2026, and talk about how the new ranking system is a natural evolution, designed to help travelling golfers best navigate countries they're visiting. Later, they touch on the controversial decision to start grouping courses based on county lines, and how that will impact how courses are compared against each other.
