This trip marks the inaugural Top100in10 Golf Podcast tour to Ireland, created in partnership with Nish and Chris. Designed specifically for listeners and followers of the podcast, this unique itinerary gives you the opportunity to tick off four of their coveted Top 100 courses in a single trip—all set along Ireland’s spectacular North East Coast. It’s a rare chance to experience world-class links golf alongside a like-minded group, with the added insight, stories, and camaraderie that have made Top100in10 such a respected voice in the game.

Few places in the world offer the chance to experience such a pure stretch of links golf as Ireland’s east coast. Within a short distance of Dublin lies a remarkable run of historic seaside courses, where rolling dunes, firm fairways, and ever-changing coastal winds define the game exactly as it was meant to be played.

This itinerary brings together five of the finest links in the region—The Island, Portmarnock, Jameson Golf Links at Portmarnock, County Louth (Baltray), and Royal Dublin—each offering its own character while sharing the timeless qualities that make links golf so special. What makes this journey particularly unique is how closely these courses sit along the coastline. With minimal travel between rounds, the focus stays where it belongs: enjoying world-class golf, spectacular seaside landscapes, and the camaraderie of the group.

From the dramatic dunes of The Island to the classic championship test of Portmarnock, the modern links experience at Jameson, the raw beauty of Baltray, and the historic prestige of Royal Dublin, this itinerary captures the very essence of Ireland’s east coast links golf. It is a rare opportunity to play a collection of courses that not only rank among Ireland’s best, but also sit side-by-side along one of the most beautiful and accessible stretches of golfing coastline anywhere in the world.

NISH — CO-HOST, TOP 100 IN 10

It started on a Saturday night in Nish's kitchen. A few drinks in, his friend Chris dared him to play every course in the UK and Ireland's Top 100 — in ten years. Nish said yes. He didn't think it through. The best ideas rarely get that luxury.

That kitchen deal became Top 100 in 10 — one of the UK's most listened-to golf podcasts, now reaching audiences across the United States. Nish and Chris document every round: the courses, the characters, the bad shots, and the brilliant ones. Honest, funny, and completely unscripted.

Nish describes the show as 'pub chat after a round' — and that's exactly what it is. No ego, no pretension. Just two mates who love golf, telling you exactly what it's really like to play the greatest courses in the British Isles.

For Nish, golf has never been about the scorecard. It's a mental escape, a chance to switch everything off, and an excuse to spend time with good people in great places. He's never played Ireland. He's watched the courses from afar — following the Instagram feeds, watching the footage, hearing the stories That changes in October.

'Golf trips are just the best thing you can do,' he says. 'You're with people you like, the banter never stops, and nothing else matters for a few days. That's the whole point.'

 CHRIS — CO-HOST, TOP 100 IN 10

As a teenager, Chris was on the verge of turning professional. University got in the way — but the talent never left. Playing off 10.3, he's comfortably the better golfer of the two, and he'll tell you so.

That background gives Chris something different — a co-host who assesses courses with the eye of someone who's actually competed at a serious level. His reviews are sharper, more technical, and more demanding than most. When Chris says a course is exceptional, it means something. If Nish is the reason you feel like you were there, Chris is the reason you understand why the course is special.

Ireland is personal for Chris. His family roots are there — cousins, aunts, uncles, a whole other chapter of his life. He'll be playing five of the finest links courses in the world. And somewhere between Portmarnock and Baltray, he'll squeeze in a family visit too.
