Beyond the Links Legends
While Scotland and Ireland often steal the golf travel limelight, England and Wales quietly boast an exceptional and diverse golfing landscape. From the classic "Royal" links courses that have hosted The Open Championship to the stunning heathland layouts just outside London, these countries offer a rich tapestry of experiences for the discerning golfer.
At Travel There and Back, we pride ourselves on unveiling these golfing treasures. We specialize in curating bespoke tours to England and Wales, ensuring we take your dreams of classic British golf and return memories of challenging rounds and charming cultural discoveries.
Regions of Distinction: From Coastal Majesty to Inland Elegance
England and Wales provide a variety of golfing environments to explore, perfect for a customized itinerary blending coastal and inland styles:
England's Golf Coast (North West England): This famed stretch of coastline is a links golf paradise, home to three Open Championship venues that are a must-play: Royal Birkdale, Royal Lytham & St Annes, and Royal Liverpool. Their proximity makes for an incredible, concentrated links tour.
London & the South East (The Surrey Sand Belt & Kent Coast): For those seeking to combine golf with the vibrancy of London, the surrounding counties offer some of the world's finest inland courses. Imagine playing the heathland masterpieces of Sunningdale (Old & New) and Walton Heath. Further east, on the Kent coast, lies another Open venue, Royal St George's.
Wales: The dramatic Welsh landscape is home to beautiful courses, including the Ryder Cup host, The Twenty Ten Course at The Celtic Manor Resort. Coastal links like Royal Porthcawl offer stunning views and a formidable challenge.
