Golf courses in England

England has more golf courses than any other European country, and that breadth is simultaneously the strength and the story of English golf. On the Kent coast lie Royal St George's and Royal Cinque Ports, two of the most prestigious Open Championship venues in the world. To the south-west of London you'll find Sunningdale Golf Club and Wentworth — parkland classics steeped in history and tradition. And in the north, along the Lancashire coast, lie Royal Birkdale and the other links courses that every golfer should have on their list. What sets England apart from the other British golf nations is the variety. Links, heathland, woodland, parkland: every region has its own golfing character and that makes a tour of England as a golfer a genuine voyage of discovery. English parkland courses are often superbly conditioned, with wide fairways, well-tended greens and facilities that rank among the best internationally. In terms of climate England is changeable but certainly playable. The summer months of June to August offer the most sunshine and the least chance of rain, though a shower is never far away. Greenfees vary considerably: the very finest English courses command premium rates, but beyond the top venues excellent courses can be found at very reasonable prices. A cold pint in the nearest pub rounds off every round in England perfectly. Browse all English golf courses on Leading Courses and plan your next golf trip.
