Beyond the golf

Life away from the course at Old Thorns Hotel & Resort

Quiet Hampshire countryside

Old Thorns sits in quiet Hampshire countryside, and Liphook, the nearest village, is 2.3km away. Walking range is thin: one cafe and two pubs, so most groups end up back at the resort. Jump in a taxi and it changes; within a short hop there are 21 bars, seven restaurants and 11 cafes to work through. For an afternoon off the course, Hollycombe Steam Collection is 3.8km away and Milland Pottery 3.9km. Nights out here are village nights, quiet and early. Tell us who's travelling and we'll match the base to how your group does its evenings.

2 bars & pubs within a stroll

Liphook is a short taxi rather than a stroll, and evenings here are village quiet, not late.

Tell us who’s coming and we’ll pick the base that fits your group’s evenings.

Frequently asked questions

Golf holidays in United Kingdom — answers to 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 tailor-made. 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.
