If you love the game and want to play it properly, good courses, the right hotel, nothing to organise yourself, a solo golf holiday in England lets you go when you want and play the week at your own pace. We sort the tee times and the transfers before you leave home, so each round is simply there waiting. Fancy company? Most English clubs will pair a single golfer with members or other visitors on the day. Prefer the quiet? An early slot often means a fairway to yourself, though that is the starter’s call on the morning, not something we can promise.
Golf Planet Holidays has been arranging hand-built golf breaks since 1981. Everything is built around your dates, your handicap and the courses on your list, with your own room as standard and prices from
Solo golf breaks to the UK: play at your own pace, fully arranged
The thing that stops a lot of single golfers booking is always the same: who will I play with, and will it be a hassle? We take the hassle out before you leave home. Tee times, transfers, running order, all booked and confirmed, so you turn up and play.
On the course itself, most English clubs are glad to slot a single into a fourball if you want the company and a bit of friendly needle, while a quieter morning can mean a round entirely to yourself. That part is the club’s decision on the day rather than ours, but singles are common in England and the welcome is relaxed. Somewhere like Thorpeness Golf Club & Hotel on the Suffolk coast, from
Singles golf holidays in the UK, including the over-50s
A lot of the searches that bring golfers here say “singles golf holidays”, so it is worth being straight about what we do and do not offer. We do not run hosted singles groups or match you with strangers for the week. What we arrange suits most people better: a break built entirely around you, own room as standard, green fees included, every tee time booked before you travel.
The company side looks after itself. English clubs are used to single golfers, and most will pair you up on the day, which means fresh playing partners each round and the clubhouse afterwards if you want it. Plenty of the solo golfers we look after are over 50 and simply want the game played properly without waiting for friends to commit. If that is you, a resort with life around it in the evening makes sense, and Old Thorns Hotel & Resort in Hampshire, from

Thanks Martin, glad you enjoyed your golf around Fuengirola
We have just returned from a trip to the Western Cape and the Kruger, that will be remembered for many years. We played Stellenbosch, De Zalze and Paarl – all of which were in superb condition – along with Erinvale. We then moved on to …

Frequently asked questions
Will I have people to play with if I travel alone?
You can. Most English courses are happy to pair a single golfer with others on the day if you’d like playing partners, while a quieter morning can mean a round to yourself. That’s the course’s decision on the day rather than something we arrange. What we handle is everything off the course, the hotel, the tee times, the transfers and the running order, so the golf is all you need to think about.
How much does a solo golf holiday in England cost?
Solo golf breaks start from
Which courses can I play?
Plenty. You can base yourself at Carden Park (Cheshire), Dale Hill (East Sussex) or Forest Pines (Lincolnshire), and we can build a links tour taking in Hoylake (Royal Liverpool), Heswall, Caldy, Wallasey and West Lancashire. Tell us your wish list and we’ll arrange the tee times.
Is my money protected, and can I book from the US?
Your money is held in trust with PTS until you have travelled, so your funds are safeguarded throughout. US golfers are very welcome — you arrange your transatlantic flight and we take care of everything on the ground, from hotels and green fees to your tee times. We’re happy to advise on the best regional airports for your chosen courses.
Do you run singles golf holidays where I join a group?
No, and we would rather be straight about it. We do not form groups or host escorted singles weeks. Every break is arranged for you alone, with your own room, and the social side happens at the course: most English clubs will pair a single golfer with others on the day if you would like company. You get the freedom of travelling solo without turning the week into a package tour.
