The 2026 Australian Golf Digest Top 100 Golf Courses ranking was published in the May issue of the magazine, and is notable for the return of Royal Melbourne West to the No. 1 position, and the re-entry of a number of redesigned golf courses.

Huntingdale is the best ranked of the newcomers at No. 18, followed by Royal Sydney (19), Commonwealth (24), Mount Lawley (37) and Links Kennedy Bay (40). The 2026 list also saw the debut of the much-hyped 7 Mile Beach course near Hobart Airport, which is ranked a very respectable No. 11 in Australia.
