The next best 100 golf courses in the UK and Ireland 2012

We're blessed with many more than just 100 very fine golf courses in the UK and Ireland, so it would be remiss not to mention those just below our chosen 100. The Next 100 comprises a mix of courses falling out of our Top 100 as others have hit the scene or upped their games; some that contended strongly for a place at the top table but came up just short; and others that have taken great strides forwards to catch our attention for the first time. We think we've got it right, but if you think we've missed somewhere worthy of inclusion, please do let us know
