Custom England Golf Tours with Haversham & Baker
The great courses of England are frequently overshadowed by those of Scotland and Ireland in the mind of the golf traveler. Many are often surprised to learn that England is not only home to four Open Championship venues, but also more courses ranked in the World Top 100 than Ireland.
If you’re in the early stages of planning a golf trip to England, we suggest visiting the England section of the H&B Yardage Book. There you’ll find in-depth guides covering all aspects of the planning process.
But while you’re here, these are the best regions to consider for golf trips to England.
England’s Golf Coast
Few places on the globe can match the concentration of outstanding courses found on England’s Golf Coast. The area near Liverpool is home to three Open rota courses, a former Ryder Cup venue, and an outstanding duo of unheralded links that often rank among the favorites of a trip. All of which can be enjoyed without ever having to change hotels.
Although the region is heaven for golfers, England’s Golf Coast is light on inspiration off the course. After a day of sightseeing in Liverpool, there is little else to occupy the tourist traveling without clubs. Southport does feature an array of solid restaurants and a vibrant pub scene, but traveling here with a partner who doesn’t golf is less than ideal.

London & Vicinity
Although any mention of London will draw thoughts of Big Ben and guards in funny hats outside of Buckingham Palace, the golf in His Majesty’s backyard is superb. The offerings include five courses ranked in the current World Top 100, along with some of the most historic and exclusive clubs in England. All within a stone’s throw of one of the great cities of the world and the exceptional Good Life that comes with it.
Unlike England’s Golf Coast, London is an ideal destination for golfers and tourists alike. From the famous sites and shopping to theater and award-winning dining, the Golf and the Good Life in London is a veritable paradise.

The Channel Coast
Along the southern shore of England, near the gleaming White Cliffs of Dover, lies a few of its storied links courses. The offering includes a 14-time host of The Open, plus two former venues for golf’s oldest professional championship. The relative proximity to one another means that the Channel Coast and the London Heathland may be combined into one spectacular weeklong itinerary.
The Channel Coast also features a variety of sightseeing opportunities off the course. The famous White Cliffs, Dover and Hever Castles, as well as nearby Canterbury and its historic cathedral are a few highlights in the area. If your group includes tourists traveling without the clubs, consider combining the Channel Coast and the London Heathland into a single itinerary to enjoy an even greater abundance of the Good Life.
