In the South East there are nearly 500 courses many sitting on the largest area of heathland in England providing the natural landscape for some classic heathery layouts.

There is also the Open championship venue at Royal St. Georges if you would prefer links golf.
The Golf Courses In The South Of England
As well as some of the best courses there are also some of the more expensive if you want to play at the very best Clubs. Places like Wentworth and Sunningdale will cost over £200 a round but they offer an occasional experience and really are a must play for the keen golfer. There are many alternatives that although they don’t have that aura and mystique of the very top courses offer a great day out at a more reasonable price.
There are two golf courses at the Berkshire Club that are almost as good as Sunningdale but at less than half the price. The fairways are tree lined and the heather and bracken whilst attractive have an uncanny knack of attracting your golf ball. In that same area close to Ascot racecourse you could spend a whole week playing different golf courses and not be disappointed with any of them.

Moving Westwards there is the excellent East Sussex complex near Uckfield. There are two Championship courses on site, and it has hosted the European Open Championship. Quality and service are keywords at both the golf courses and the on-site Hotel accommodation and it’s well worth a visit.
