Golf Holidays for Couples in England
England By The Golf Planet Holidays Team · Golf-travel specialists since 1981 · Published 1 June 2026 At a glance What's the appeal of an England golf holiday for couples?

You don’t both have to be obsessed with golf for a golf holiday to be the best break you take all year. The best ones quietly look after two people at once: a championship round and a quiet morning, a debrief over a glass of something local and a long lunch with no tee time to rush back for. That’s the kind of England escape we’ve been arranging for couples since 1981 — golf for the golfer, spa, countryside or coast for the partner, and not a single logistical headache for either of you.
Whether you both play or only one of you does, our tailor-made trips start from £175 per person and are built around what makes a weekend feel like a treat rather than an itinerary. You tell us what you’re picturing; we shape the rest.
Resorts built for two: spa, countryside and a course on the doorstep
The simplest way to keep both halves of a couple happy is to stay somewhere that does more than golf — and these three do it beautifully.
Carden Park Hotel, Cheshire sits in 1,000 acres of parkland with two courses, a destination spa and quiet corners for a long lunch. It’s our most popular couples’ base for good reason: the golfer disappears for a round and comes back to find their partner has had an equally good morning.
Dale Hill Hotel & Golf Club, East Sussex is the romantic-countryside option — a hotel set among the High Weald with golf on site and the wine estates and villages of Sussex and Kent within easy reach for the day the clubs stay in the boot.
Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort, Lincolnshire pairs 27 holes with a serious spa, so a golf morning and a treatment afternoon slot together without anyone compromising. It’s an easy, unfussy base for a first couples’ golf trip.
From £175 per person, any of these can be built into a one- or two-night romantic break — dinner, spa and a round, sorted in one enquiry.
For the serious golfer: links and championship names within reach
If the golfer in your pair wants the real thing, the North West coast delivers some of England’s finest. We can pair a couples’ stay with rounds at Hoylake (Royal Liverpool) — an Open Championship venue — and the handsome cluster of clubs around the Wirral and West Lancashire: Heswall Golf Club and Caldy Golf Club on the Wirral, the classic links of Wallasey Golf Club, and West Lancashire Golf Club at the mouth of the Mersey.
It’s a genuinely special itinerary: the golfer ticks off bucket-list links while the partner enjoys the coast, the seafood and a slower pace. We arrange the tee times, the order of play and the transfers so the trip flows — you just turn up and play.
Where our specialists would stay in England
Tailor-made, hosted options, and how the money is protected
Every couples’ trip we arrange is tailor-made and enquiry-based — there’s no fixed package to squeeze into. You tell us who plays, what the non-golfer wants from the days, and the rest is shaped around you, priced and billed in pounds. Prefer company? We also run hosted and escorted group tours, which suit couples who like the social side of golf and the reassurance of someone on the ground handling the details.
Booking with us is also genuinely protected. Golf Planet Holidays is ATOL Protected, and your money is held in trust with PTS until you’ve travelled — so the funds are safeguarded right up to the day you check in. If you’re travelling from the US, an England golf break pairs naturally with a wider UK trip; we can advise on flights and add ATOL-protected flight arrangements where it makes sense, so the whole thing sits under one trusted booking.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a golf holiday for couples in England cost?
Our tailor-made couples’ breaks start from £175 per person, with the final price depending on the resort, length of stay, courses played and any spa or dining you’d like included. Everything is quoted and billed in GBP, so there are no exchange-rate surprises.
Which resorts are best if only one of us plays golf?
Carden Park in Cheshire, Forest Pines in Lincolnshire and Dale Hill in East Sussex are our top picks for couples where one plays. Each has golf on site plus a spa, fine dining and countryside, so the non-golfer has a full, relaxing day rather than time to fill.
Can you arrange tee times at famous courses like Hoylake?
Yes. We regularly arrange rounds at Hoylake (Royal Liverpool) and nearby clubs such as Heswall, Caldy, Wallasey and West Lancashire, combined with a comfortable couples’ base. We handle the tee bookings, order of play and transfers so the golf side runs smoothly.
Is my booking financially protected?
Yes. Golf Planet Holidays is ATOL Protected, and your money is held in trust with PTS until you have travelled. That means your funds are safeguarded throughout, and any flights we arrange can be ATOL-protected too.
