Start the ConversationEngland offers one of the richest and most underrated golf landscapes in Britain — a country where Open Championship links, classic heathland, royal clubs, and deeply traditional golf sit within easy reach of one another. England golf tours are designed around the regions that show English golf at its strongest, from the Kent coast and the Southport links to Surrey's great inland clubs, combining championship pedigree, distinguished accommodation, and a more considered approach to luxury golf travel in England.
Why Choose England Golf Tours
England is often overlooked in comparison with Scotland and Ireland, yet it contains some of the most significant and rewarding golf in the game. It is home to multiple Open venues, a remarkable concentration of world-class links on the north-west and south-east coasts, and perhaps the finest collection of heathland courses anywhere in the world.
What makes England golf tours so compelling is the variety within a relatively compact country. A single trip can combine the classic links of Kent or Southport with the inland sophistication of Surrey, creating a route that feels both architecturally rich and logistically smooth. For guests seeking luxury golf travel in England, that combination of great courses, strong regional identity, and efficient travel is difficult to match.

Explore the England Collection
The England collection brings together the regions, courses, and accommodation that offer the strongest expression of golf in England — thoughtfully assembled to create a more complete and considered experience than a conventional golf booking.
The Approach to England Golf Tours
England is not approached as a generic golf destination. Tours are built around the regions, courses, and stays that most closely reflect those standards — combining golfing significance, strong local character, and the practical ease needed for a trip that feels genuinely well considered.
For some guests, that means focusing on Open venues and royal clubs. For others, it means balancing those marquee names with quieter rounds, stronger accommodation, and a route that reveals a broader and more distinctive side of English golf. In both cases, the aim is the same: to create an England golf tour that feels thoughtful, seamless, and grounded in what makes the country so rewarding.
Course Selection
Courses are chosen for their golfing significance, character, and fit within the overall route — not simply for name recognition alone.
Regional Routing
England rewards careful routing. Itineraries are built that move logically between regions, balancing links and heathland with the right pace.
Accommodation
Stays are selected for comfort, character, and location — from elegant country houses to refined coastal hotels that suit the trip's overall tone.
