For a few months last year, GOLF or GOLF DIGEST or both were doing that, presenting Tony Jacklin’s (or whomever’s) handwritten top ten courses. But they were just lists, presented with zero commentary. The only people who cared were the more obscure courses which made the list for personal reasons.
I ran a little series a couple of years ago of the top 10 Favourite courses with commentary from various contributors including several from this parish - Messrs Doak, Clayton, Harrison, Gallant, Blair and others.

It was a fun series and the top 3 courses selected was interesting. Of course there was massive selection bias given who I asked but the top 6 courses were -
Joint 6th - Royal Melbourne and Prestwick
4th - NGLA
3rd - Cypress
Joint top - North Berwick and St Andrews
Hard to argue with that!
