England Golf Courses

England has more than 1,900 registered golf clubs (England Golf, 2024), making it home to more golf courses than any other country in the UK. From the championship links of Lancashire to the heathland courses of Surrey and the dramatic moorland layouts of Yorkshire, English golf covers every terrain and budget.

The south-east is England's most densely packed golfing region. Surrey alone has over 80 courses, including world-class heathland venues like Wentworth, Sunningdale, and Walton Heath. Kent offers Royal St George's at Sandwich — a regular Open Championship host — and a string of fine clifftop and downland courses.

The north-west is England's links heartland. The Lancashire coast between Southport and Blackpool contains Royal Birkdale, Royal Lytham & St Annes, Formby, and Hillside — one of the great golfing corridors in the world. Yorkshire adds championship courses at Ganton and Moortown, while the north-east contributes cliff-top links at Bamburgh and Seahouses.

Green fees across England range from under £15 at municipal courses to £200+ at top championship venues. The majority of England's golf courses welcome visiting golfers without membership — use the county filters below to explore courses in your area.
