There are six courses in England that have hosted the Open Championship. Along the rugged Lancashire coastline is Royal Liverpool, Royal Birkdale & Royal Lytham & St Anne’s while down in Kent are the layouts of Royal St George’s, Princes Golf Club and Royal Cinque Ports.

Just north of London is the Kyle Phillips-designed course at The Grove, which hosted the American Express World Golf Championship in 2006, won by none other than Tiger Woods. Of course, no list of English championship venues would be complete without mentioning The Brabazon Course at the Belfry, in Sutton Coldfield West Midlands, which has hosted the Ryder Cup on an unprecedented four occasions.

Golf Breaks in England for Societies

Steeped in Ryder Cup history, The Belfry is a perfect resort to accommodate groups of golfers, particularly with the newly refurbished Sam’s Bar.

If you’re heading to the south west, then the St Mellion International Resort is an absolute must. The Cornwall resort boasts two outstanding courses, a brilliant 19th hole and the Fairway Lodges, which are perfectly suited to large groups of golfers. Worsley Park (Manchester), East Sussex National and Hill Valley (Shropshire) are also worth consideration.

Golf Breaks in England for Couples

Many venues offer Golf and Spa breaks resort packages, meaning there is something to keep both you and your partner entertained. From Luton Hoo Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa 5*, which has hosted the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh on their honeymoon, to the exquisite Stapleford Park and Rockliffe Hall Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa is a 5*, which you may recognise from the Michael Caine hit movie Get Carter.

Throw in great on-site restaurants, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a romantic weekend away.

There are countless cities and towns scattered throughout England where you’re guaranteed a memorable (albeit slightly hazy) night. Bournemouth is our No.1 golf tour destination in the UK, owing to its fine array of courses coupled with a buzzing evening atmosphere driven largely by the town’s student-heavy population.

Bristol, Nottingham, Leeds and Blackpool also come highly recommended if your trip’s social curriculum is just as important as the golf itself.
