Psst! If you’re desperate for a luxury golf break away from the crowds this year we’ve uncovered five destinations in England which fit the bill. Contact us for reservations and prices.
- The Manor House, Castle Combe. Nestling in the Cotswolds, you can play and stay at The Manor House, a 14th century luxury hotel and golf club with Michelin starred dining and a dedicated gin bar. The Manor House Golf Club is a short stroll from the hotel. The championship golf course was designed by Peter Allis and Clive Clark and is a stunner. Make sure to stop at the halfway house, a converted Airstream trailer. There’s croquet and fly-fishing available on the 365-acre estate.
- Bell Inn, New Forest. Dating back to 1782 the 28 bedroom Bell Inn has been stylishly updated but maintains its rustic charm with open fireplaces, flagstone floors and elegant reception rooms. The restaurant is superb. Within the grounds you’ll find Bramshaw Golf Club, home to two diverse 18-hole courses. The Manor Course is mature parkland and The Forest Course is the oldest golf course in Hampshire.
- Ashdown Park, East Sussex. Treat yourself to a luxury country house break at this beautiful hotel, with its own 18 hole par 3 course and the excellent Royal Ashdown Forest Golf course round the corner, where we can reserve teetimes for you. The hotel’s restaurant is award-winning and there’s an indoor pool to swim away the calories…
- Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire. Play one of the best courses in the UK at Woodhall Spa Golf Club and combine it with a stay at elegant The Petwood Hotel. Once home to the famous Dambusters, you can now stroll the spectacular landscaped gardens and enjoy AA rosette dining while staying in one of the comfortable bedrooms.
- Dormy House hotel and Spa, Broadway. We’re back in the Cotswolds for our final choice. This is one for golfers who love good food. The hotel has been stylishly converted from a farmhouse and has a choice of two restaurants. If you can tear yourself away we can arrange golf at Broadway Golf Club.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a golf holiday in England cost?
Tailor-made golf breaks in England start from £175 per person, including your hotel, green fees and airport transfers. Every package is built around your group, dates and handicaps.
Do you arrange flights to England?
Flights can be added as an ATOL-protected option, or you book your own and we handle everything on the ground — private transfers, tee times and buggies.
Is my money protected?
Yes. Every booking is financially protected through Protected Trust Services (PTS) — your money is held safely in trust until you have travelled. Flight-inclusive trips are also ATOL protected.
Can I tailor the trip?
Always. We don’t sell off-the-shelf packages — every England break is built personally around your group, your preferred courses and your dates.
