These hidden gems are far removed from the pressures of competitive circuits, offering a chance to rediscover the essence of the game. With spectacular views, natural landscapes, and courses that demand a wide range of shotmaking, this tour will rekindle your love of golf.

Cleeve Hill Golf Club

Set on the highest point in the Cotswolds, Cleeve Hill is a course of raw beauty and natural challenges. Its open layout, shaped by the rugged terrain, demands strategic thinking to navigate steep inclines, hidden hazards, and fast greens. Players are rewarded with panoramic views stretching across the Severn Vale, Malvern Hills, and even the Welsh mountains on clear days.

Kington Golf Club

England’s highest 18-hole course is a must-play for its striking scenery and rewarding challenges. Kington features rolling fairways, bracing winds, and firm turf that make every hole a fresh test of skill. From the elevated tees, golfers enjoy sweeping views over Herefordshire and the Welsh Borders, creating a sense of serenity and focus.

Church Stretton Golf Club

Tucked within the Shropshire Hills, this compact yet thrilling course is a hidden treasure. Its steep climbs, tight fairways, and natural contours demand accuracy and creativity at every turn. The views from this hillside course, overlooking valleys and distant peaks, make every shot as picturesque as it is exciting.

One of the few courses in the world where you can play across two countries in a single round. Starting in Wales and finishing in England, Llanmynech boasts a unique charm, with elevated fairways that offer stunning vistas over the Shropshire Plain and Breidden Hills. Its mix of wooded and open holes challenges golfers with a variety of shot shapes and approaches.

A quirky and historic course with a reputation for its unique design. Painswick features narrow fairways, blind shots, and greens nestled within dramatic contours.
