The folks over at Money decided to do a little bit of research and rank the best courses in the UK based on three key factors.
They judged the resorts based on their affordability, accessibility and social media presence to determine their popularity.
There are no prizes for guessing which club tops the list because of course it is the home of golf at St. Andrews.
