About Golf Tourism England
Golf Tourism England is the trade body that brings together golf clubs, hotels, resorts, and tour operators to grow England’s share of the global golf tourism market. We connect buyers with sellers, provide industry intelligence, and champion England as a world-class golf destination on the global stage.
We exist to serve the businesses that make golf travel in England happen — from championship courses and boutique hotels to specialist tour operators and regional tourism bodies.
We organise targeted networking events that bring international tour operators face-to-face with England’s golf venues and accommodation providers. Our flagship Convention and regional showcases generate real business — not just conversations.
From visitor data and booking trends to regional performance reports, we provide the market insight our members need to make informed commercial decisions. Our research helps venues understand where their next customers are coming from.
We champion England as a world-class golf destination on the global stage — through trade shows, media partnerships, FAM trips for international buyers, and our consumer platform, golfinengland.com.

Golf Tourism England was founded with a clear purpose: to grow the value of golf tourism to England’s economy by making it easier for international visitors to discover, book, and enjoy golf in England.
We do this by building a professional community where golf venues, accommodation providers, and tour operators work together — sharing knowledge, creating product, and collectively raising England’s profile as a golf destination.
England has over 1,900 golf courses, a rich heritage in the sport, and world-class hospitality. Our job is to make sure the global golf travel industry knows about it — and that our members are positioned to benefit.
Golf Clubs & Resorts — From Open Championship venues to hidden gems, we help England’s golf courses attract international visitors and increase green fee revenue from the golf tourism market.
Hotels & Accommodation — Golf tourists stay longer and spend more. We connect hotels and resorts with the tour operators who package golf breaks for international travellers.
Tour Operators & DMCs — Whether you’re an inbound specialist or an international golf travel company, GTE gives you direct access to England’s golf product and the relationships you need to build compelling itineraries.
Tourism Bodies & Partners — We work with VisitEngland, regional tourism organisations, and industry bodies to ensure golf tourism has a voice in national tourism strategy.
From our annual Convention to regional FAM trips, GTE brings the golf tourism industry together.
