19. Newcastle  ↑1
Highest ranking – 10 (2004)
A real panel favourite, Newcastle seems to have arrested a slide that took it from 10th in 2004 to outside the top 20 in 2012. The course scores best in the design and memorability stakes, with the likes of the wild tumbling fifth and 10th holes among those that attract favourable comments from our judges. The short seventh and sidehill sixth are also very good. Will be interesting to see how the club performs in the years ahead, should it proceed with additional fine-tuning planned for its bunkers and greens.
