England’s golfing history dates back to the 18th century, when the Royal Blackheath golf club, the first English golf club, was formed in 1766. The Royal North Devon golf course also opened in 1864 and the two are now among the oldest golf courses in the world. Since then, England has hosted some of the best golf tournaments, from the Open Championship to the Ryder Cup and numerous annual tour events.
The Sunningdale and Swinley Forest courses in Ascot, Royal St George’s course in Kent, which hosted the 2021 Open Championship, and the Royal Birkdale in Southport (voted the number one golf course in England) represent the best of England’s golf courses.
With a golf trip to England, you’ll have a chance to experience the breathtaking countryside views and an abundance of centuries-old architecture, including the iconic landmarks, Big Ben, Stonehenge, and Buckingham Palace. And let’s not forget about food and drink.
