City on the doorstep

Few golf bases put a city this good on the doorstep. The Scott Monument stands 100 metres from the door, and there are well over 200 bars and some 340 restaurants within an easy walk of Princes Street. Non-players can join Edinburgh Bus Tours from practically outside, while late finishers have Whynot and the Shanghai Club just as close. If anyone fancies sea air, Wardie Bay Beach is a short taxi ride at 3.4km. Worth saying: this is the centre of a capital city, so evenings are lively rather than quiet. Tell us who's coming and we'll judge whether a city base fits your group's evenings.

This is the centre of a capital city, so evenings are lively rather than quiet; groups after resort seclusion should look elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Golf holidays in United Kingdom. The questions our golfers ask most.

Where should I play in the United Kingdom?

From challenging links to impressive parkland courses, the UK has it all. Tell us your dream golf holiday scenario.

It is easy to get around the United Kingdom?

Yes, getting around the UK for golf is very straightforward. Self-driving is the most popular choice — the motorway network connects major cities and virtually all golf courses have excellent road access. For Scotland, flights from London to Edinburgh or Glasgow take around 90 minutes, or take the scenic East Coast Main Line overnight. In England, most golf regions — Surrey heathland, Kent links, Yorkshire moorland — are within 2-3 hours of London. We include all transfers in our UK packages and can advise on the best travel approach for your group.

Is the United Kingdom good for groups?

Yes. There are plenty of great options if you are going away with your golfing friends.

What about if I am looking for somewhere special in the United Kingdom?

We offer superb hotels all around the United Kingdom, ideal if you wish to combine high levels of comfort with great golf courses.

Are flights included?

Our golf holidays are arranged ground-only — hotel, golf and transfers. You can add flights through us, and those flights are ATOL protected as part of your booking.

How do golf holidays with Golf Planet Holidays work?

Every trip is hand-built. Tell us your group, dates and the destinations you fancy, and we build a personal itinerary — hotel, golf and transfers — around them. There are no fixed packages to squeeze into; we shape the whole break to suit how your group likes to play.
