Golf getaway packages in England
Our English golf getaways offer the golfing opportunity of a lifetime, including the chance to play two of the three courses on the current British Open rotation.
If you dream of winning the Claret Jug at Royal Liverpool like McIlroy and Woods, on a course that's deceptively flat but windy all year round and packed with tricky challenges, then this is for you. Experience lovely Royal Birkdale, where Open Winners Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, and Pádraig Harrington made history. Or rise to the challenge of Royal Lytham & St Annes' and its glorious surroundings.

Non-golfing activities
The great thing about British and Irish golf courses is their location. Every course comes with a suite of exceptional places to visit, things to do, places to shop and ancient history to explore. Whether your taste runs to the sophisticated or simple, there are wonders at every turn to delight you, and keep the non-golfers in your party happy.
Golf Getaways - Where to stay
Luxury golf getaways start here, with a choice of delightful traditional or contemporary hotels to relax in, dine in, sleep like a king and enjoy to the maximum, all close to the courses of your dreams. Here are just a few of them.
- The five-star Fairmont Hotel is a legend in itself, the ultimate in luxury, perched on the dizzying top of the sea cliffs overlooking glorious St Andrews Bay and the ancient city skyline. With exceptional dining in three dining rooms, plenty of extra-curricular activities and Signature Spa, it's just one of six beautiful hotels we recommend in and around St Andrews.
- Golfers in the north west of England adore the magnificent Grand Hotel in historic Lytham St Annes, ideal when you want to experience all three of the north west's excellent Royal courses: Lytham itself, plus Birkdale and Liverpool. It comes with contemporary good looks, fine dining, a famously good spa and top-class service.
- Nestling at the foot of the Mountains of Mourne in Newcastle, County Down, the glorious Slieve Donard Resort and Spa Hotel sits in six acres of manicured grounds with its own slice of golden sandy beach on one side and the Royal County Down Golf Links at the other. It's just one of nine splendid hotels we recommend in north west England.
