Golf Near London

Parkland gems inside the M25, championship heathland just beyond — London’s golf scene is broader, better and more accessible than most expect.

ParklandHeathlandAccessibleGolf & Spa Breaks

London is not a golf city in the way that Edinburgh or Melbourne are — but within an hour of its centre lies some of the finest golf in the world. The Surrey and Berkshire heathlands, the Kent and Essex parklands, and the courses of Middlesex and Hertfordshire together form one of the densest concentrations of quality golf anywhere. For those based in or visiting London, a day’s golf within the M25 or just beyond rarely means compromise.

And for those seeking a Golf & Spa Break from the capital, the surrounding Home Counties offer an embarrassment of options — country house hotels with full spa facilities within easy reach of courses that would top most international destination lists.
