Wallasey Golf Club - The Sleeping Giant of English Links Golf

Wallasey Golf Club was out of the Top 100. Now it's ranked 99th and accelerating — and after playing it on a stunning April Tuesday, we think it's heading a lot higher than that.This episode is powered by Fourball Draws - where you can win a fourball on some elite courses for just a fiver - visit fourballs.co.uk and use code TOP100 to buy 2 or more tickets and get one absolutely free!In this episode we sit down with course manager John McLoughlin, the man who called Wallasey a "sleeping giant" five years ago and spent the time since proving himself right. We talk about the transformation, the Old Tom Morris greens, the Bobby Jones portrait in the clubhouse, and why this might be the best Irish-style links golf you can play without leaving England.We also cover our top three holes each, a Stableford match play battle (Nish wins 3&2), and the honest question: does Wallasey crack our personal top five from 70 Top 100 courses played?🇮🇪 Playing in Ireland has never been harder to arrange — which is exactly why we've done it for you. Join us this October for a listener trip covering Portmarnock, The Island, Royal Dublin, County Louth and more.
