Our Mission

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.

Who We Serve

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.
