Why Southwest England for Golf Holidays?
This familiarisation trip represents our strategic initiative to showcase Southwest England as a premier golf destination for US travellers. The region offers:
- Authentic links golf experience at significantly better value than increasingly crowded Scottish and Irish courses
- Spectacular coastal scenery along England’s Southwest peninsula
- Historic golf courses with challenging layouts and rich traditions
- Outstanding hospitality and exceptional dining experiences
- Competitive pricing compared to traditional golf destinations where tee times are becoming scarce and prices rising dramatically
Future Golf Familiarisation Trips
Due to overwhelming interest, we’re planning additional Southwest England golf familiarisation trips for late 2025 and early 2026. We look forward to welcoming our selected participants this May and sharing outcomes of this important golf tourism initiative in future newsletters.
