Up until the Covid-19 pandemic, any talk of a great golfing holiday brought up images of sun-tinged courses in the Costas, the Algarve and Florida. Turkey’s on-the-up Turquoise Coast might have been mentioned. At a push, the Canaries and Cyprus too. But the UK’s rain-lashed golf courses of England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland barely registered on most Brits’ summer travel map.
That’s all changed, of course. Staycations have boomed in the past few years, and are clearly here to stay. For those who love nothing more than tee-ing off after a cooked breakfast, courtesy of a gorgeous hotel, golfers are spoiled for choice, as our fair isles are home to countless first-rate courses, providing fresh air and, more often than not, stunning scenery.
