Inside Golf Course Rankings: Process, Politics, and Practical Value

In this episode of the IGTM Discovery Podcast, host Tom Irwin sits down with NCG Top 100s chairman Dan Murphy for a deep dive into the world of golf course rankings. From how ranking panels are built and courses are assessed, to the realities of access, bias, and industry perception, Dan offers a transparent look at what really goes into the lists that shape global golf tourism. The conversation also explores how clubs and resorts can engage more effectively with rankings and why integrity, context, and timing matter more than ever. Hosted on Acast.
