London Golf & South East England Golf Tours
You can spend a dedicated week (or month) playing the fantastic heathland courses around London and another week playing the challenging links of southeast England, but with limited time combining the best of the two destinations creates one of the best golf itineraries in golf.
The famed Kent coastline is home to Open Championship rota venue Royal St Georges, and is complemented by Princes and Royal Cinque Ports to make a fine links-land trio.
Often overlooked by Americans, the heathland courses of the Surrey and Berkshire sandbelt include; Swinley Forest, The Berkshire, Sunningdale, St George’s Hill, and Walton Heath.
With an especially rich history, they exhibit similar playing characteristics as true links, but with beautiful but penal heather posing an additional hazard.

Mike’s Tip
While in England’s south east, make sure you spend some time in the centre of London. The ‘Square Mile’ in the very centre of the city includes the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral. Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the famed parks are only a short stroll further.

South East England Highlights
Visit England with Premier Golf
Our dedicated team will work with you and your group to determine the best after-round activities and dining experiences. Obviously, in Windsor, a trip to Castle is a must. For non-golfers, there are sightseeing day trips to Stonehenge, Bath, London city center, Rye and Romney Marsh, and Leeds Castle to name a few. It is possible to combine a night out in London when you are staying in Windsor for dinner or the theater, however we recommend extending your trip for a few days to really experience all the historic city has to offer.
