Nish's Top 3 Golf Courses in 2025

We rank our top three UK courses after a year of bucket‑list golf, weighing playability, beauty, and pure golfing soul. Along the way we revisit Queens, Cruden Bay, Gullane, Hindhead, Hollinwell, and why thoughtful details can make or break a day.

• setting the goal to play the top 100 and reflect on progress
• short courses as smart design, not soft tests
• contenders that nearly made third place
• number three: Hankley Common for grown‑up, heather‑lined strategy
• number two: Dumbarnie Links for guest‑first design and playability
• number one: Trump International Aberdeen for unforgettable dune drama
• why memory and hole recall shaped the rankings
• honourable mentions: Hindhead’s front nine and Hollinwell’s closing stretch
• gratitude to hosts and the community who opened doors
