Our Pick
Our favourite is the the Oxfordshire Golf Club - serviced by one of the best golf hotels in the uk, this former European Tour venue was designed by Rees Jones. Making full use of the gorgeous terrain, this challenging course blends naturally into the rolling chalk hills of the English countryside. Former winners have included Colin Montgomerie and Bernhard Langer.
Off the Course
When your not testing your mettle against the best golf courses in the uk, we recommend a trip around Rye - the quaintest town in the Southeast, Rye is a cobbled and crooked town of half timbered buildings, transporting visitors back to medieval England. Or, if you haven’t seen the White Cliffs yet, head down to Beachy Head in the South Downs National Park for a spectacular view.
Summer is, of course, the best time to go. This does result in hiked green fees June through August, but it’s well worth it to soak up that rare English sun. Autumn and spring are also lovely, but you risk a chillier game and a higher chance of showers. If you’d rather a less busy course however, May through March or September/October are for you.
