Travel Tips for Golf Weekends, Golf Trips & Golf Breaks in the UK & Ireland

The peak season for UK golf breaks and UK golf holidays is during the Summer when the warmer weather means golfers of all abilities take to the fairways. This increase in demand for golf trips results in higher green fees, so if you’re looking for value, the autumn and spring seasons may appeal.

Midweek Golf Breaks & Golf Weekends

For a real bargain golf break, we suggest taking advantage of our Sunday Specials with exceptional value to be had on overnight breaks or travel midweek when the courses will be quieter. Most golf packages are either 1 night and 2 rounds or 2 nights and 3 rounds of golf. The latter is often a cheaper golf trip with extra incentives offered for a longer stay.

Golf & Nightlife in the UK

Why not combine golf with nightlife by booking a UK golf tour or a golf & city break. Golfers can choose to base themselves in a popular city centre for lively night action and sample multiple golf courses within a short radius of the City.
