Have some non-golfers in your party? No problem, we have plenty of non-golfer experiences that will make their trip just as memorable as yours. Your ultimate golfing experience awaits…
Discover your Next Golf Destination
The British Isles is blessed with some of the best golf courses in the world, from rugged links courses to the pristine heathland courses and everything in between. No matter whether you are playing golf in England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales, you will be sure to experience world class golf as well as friendly hospitality and beautiful hotel stays, making this part of the world a true golf holiday destination. Upon visiting these courses, you get a real sense of the history of the game, with many of them having been around for over 150 years.
It’s always fascinating to walk around these clubhouses and look at old photographs and competition boards to see many of the famous players who have played there. The history and tales shine through. However, golf in the UK & Ireland isn’t all about old courses; in recent years, there have been some modern masterpieces, such as Kingsbarns and Cabot Highlands that have been built that give the look and feel of a course that has been around centuries.
Without doubt, one of the best things about golf in the UK & Ireland is the people and how each country has its own unique characters that will not only make you feel welcome, but will leave you with a tale or two to tell your friends. The hospitality is second to none, and The Experience Golf team do everything to match this when on hand throughout your stay with us.
