There are in the region of 3,000 golf courses in the UK and Ireland and a very slightly smaller number of golf clubs. While the norm is a one-to-one ratio, there are still a healthy number of two-course clubs such as Archerfield, Ballybunion and Carden Park. Surprisingly, this is also true in the Golf Monthly Top 100 where The Berkshire, Saunton, Sunningdale and Walton Heath each have two entries.
Far rarer are the clubs which have three 18-hole courses. Some actually have even more such as the St Andrews Links Trust with six and a 9-holer, and the Manor and Ashbury Resorts in Devon with their mind-boggling 103 holes.
