Overview
England can certainly be considered one of the world’s premier golf destinations, yet with all this golfing bounty right on our doorsteps it is somewhat surprising that it so frequently overlooked by travelling golfers who hail from the UK! The prevailing weather that can be experienced (or endured) through any part of the year could be a reason for this, but don’t let that put you off… a golf break in England is certainly one of golf’s finest experiences if you can tolerate a bit of occasional wind and rain.
Top class golf courses of all styles, designed by some of golf’s greatest architects – including Mother Nature herself – abound throughout England, and with the full suite of golf course styles to be found in each of England’s golfing regions you are sure to easily find a golf holiday to suit your particular taste in golf course in any of England’s main golfing destinations.
Added to the fantastic selection of golf courses are the excellent golf resort hotels and other off-course accommodation in historic inland and seaside towns which perfectly complement the wonderful golf courses in their localities.
It’s so convenient to be able to jump in your car with the clubs in the boot and head to your golf holiday destination without the hassles of navigating the airport and tolerating a budget airline flight – and a golf holiday in England will be a very straightforward option for the majority of our clients. Even if you are coming to England from another country you are sure to find the ease of access and convenience of a golf break in England to be an excellent choice.

The North East of England has enjoyed a real boost in its profile as a leading English golf travel destination over the last few years due to the success of the British Masters European Tour event which takes place at Close House.

There’s little doubt that if asked the question, then most English golfers would probably select The Belfry as the highest profile and most famous golf resort in England, and having hosted the Ryder Cup more times than any other venue in the UK, Europe or the USA then it’s easy to understand why it has the profile it does.
However, golf breaks in the Midlands and Eastern England region really is about a whole lot more than just The Belfry!
Quality golf resorts abound with the Marriott group being particularly well represented with both the Marriott Forest of Arden and Marriott Breadsall Priory resorts offering a quality stay & play golf experience, alongside other excellent golf break destinations such as Belton Woods, Doubletree Hilton Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort and Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire – with the latter being the home of England Golf, plus Dunston Hall Golf Resort in Norfolk…
In recent years the option of a Norfolk Coast Golf Tour has proven to be increasingly popular with some fantastic high pedigree golf courses such as Royal West Norfolk, Sheringham, The Links Country Park, Royal Cromer and the ground-breaking new golf course at Royal Norwich offering the most fantastic and welcoming experience for visiting golfers.
