Hard to say without qualifying by category. Top 100 of 2009 or of all time? ;)
CS is sure to rank within  the top 100 of new courses opened in 2009.

Machrihanish Dunes looks fairly promising as well.

Are you talking about the top 100 in the world?

If you are you're talking about replacing Swinley Forest, Durban, Machrihanish, North Berwick, Wentworth or Hamilton which is ranked #100.

Thats mighty big courses to replace.

George P did a little write up on CS in this months Links Mag - he seems to think it is a lot for top of the Top courses out there.

Anthony....if the Dormie can see the light of day through these financial times, I think it would make any list.

Unfortunately, that now seems like a big "if".

Castle Stuart and perhaps the Coore and Crenshaw course at Barnbougle Dunes would have the best chance.
