ENGLAND & WALES
YORKSHIRE & EAST COAST
Yorkshire and England’s east coast remain quietly under the radar yet for those in the know, they offer golf every bit as compelling as the country’s more celebrated regions. Home to Alister Mackenzie’s first design at Alwoodley Golf Club where many of his design principals first took shape.
Nearby Ganton and the Hotchkin course at Woodhall Spa are widely considered to be the finest inland courses in the world. We will combine these courses with the distinctive links of Royal West Norfolk and Hunstanton to curate one of the most diverse and traditional trips which showcases a different side to English golf
Beyond the fairways, the experience is equally rich. The historic city of York offers layers of heritage, architecture, and culture, while the charming village of Woodhall Spa provides a relaxed, quintessentially English setting in which to unwind.

Alwoodley
This classic heathland is Alister Mackenzie’s first design. With the approval and assistance of Harry Colt they laid out one of the very best inland courses in the UK. The club have done a fantastic job in recent years preserving the course which remains remarkably true to its original architectural vision.
Woodhall Spa Hotchkin
Difficult to get to but well worth the journey, the Hotchkin course at Woodhall Spa is one of the finest heathland courses in England. Renowned for its firm, fast-running fairways and fearsome bunkering, it presents a thrilling strategic challenge where precision, imagination, and sound course management are essential.
Royal West Norfolk
Known as Brancaster, Royal West Norfolk offers one of golf’s most unique experiences. Set on a narrow strip of land between Brancaster Beach and the salt marshes of Mow Creek, the course is cut off at high tide. Beyond its iconic gates lies superb links turf, sleeper-faced bunkers, and a wonderfully natural setting.
Ganton
The finest course in Yorkshire and a World Top 100 golf course, Ganton represents inland golf at its very best. Despite its distance from the coast, firm running turf and cavernous bunkers create a distinct links feel. Blending links and heathland characteristics, it delivers a memorable and uniquely English golfing experience.
