Our take

There is genuine Tour pedigree at Slaley Hall's Hunting course, though with 183 metres of climbing over the round most groups are glad the buggies are easy to book.

Tell us who’s coming and how you like to play, and we’ll shape the right trip around you.

The walk. Hilly — we would take a buggy. 183 metres of climb over eighteen holes.

The wind. The wind is usually westerly, averaging 15 km/h, gusting to 51. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.

The water. 15 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.

The design. Dave Thomas.

The holes that will cost you. The 11th, the 12th and the 9th. The 4th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.

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.
