Today, Royal St George is one of the best and highest rated courses in England. Based in Kent, it offers a real links experience and challenges every element of your game.
Another favourite is Woodhall Spa Golf Course.
Woodhall Spa is the home to the English Golf Union and boasts 2 18 hole golf courses and one 9 hole pitch and putt. The Hotchkin, as it is known is the Championship Course and it’s currently rated the 11th Best Golf Course in the UK. It’s arguably the best inland course in the UK, with a classic course design including heather-lined fairways and cavernous bunkers.
And if you manage to keep your ball out of the heather and the bunkers, there is always that wonderful gorse to put a smile on your face.
Another course worth visiting is Royal Liverpool – Restored to the Open Championship rota in 2006 after a 49-year gap, Hoylake is the second oldest links course in England, having been founded in 1869.
