Good to see this MacKenzie classic getting the recognition it deserves.

We are delighted to announce that Cavendish has placed in Golf World’s Top 100 Parkland Courses in Great Britain & Ireland! It’s pleasing that the course is going from strength to strength and acknowledgment like this requires huge congratulations to all of our green staff!

Just imagine how you and fellow members would feel if this happened at your golf club!!

Whittington Heath Golf Club. HS2’s most egregious offense? Bulldozing straight through this historic, “Harry C**t-designed” course.

Northumberland has more reasons than most destinations to visit, but the golf is often overlooked; https://www.golftourismengland.com/gte-on-tour-part-1-northumberland/

The opportunity to visit the leading golf clubs and hotels in the Southwest is always highly anticipated. It is easy to forget just how breathtakingly beautiful this part of the world is until you arrive and feel the tension melt away as you cross into Devon and Cornwall.

Love this part of Formby Golf Club when it has emerged from the pine trees and feels more like a links. Beautiful video captures the magic! https://fb.watch/vF_581y3gm/

I have to confess travelling through Devon attending meetings is hard to define as work...too much joy involved. Read about one of England's best golf destinations;

Winter is when the links courses save the day, and where you don’t lose 20 yards off your drive!

October days and the links looking stunning 😍

Whilst I very much enjoyed visiting the Northumberland Golf Club yesterday, a wonderfully traditional and prestigious golf club, with a course designed by Harry C**t and James Braid, I left the Club with more than a mild frustration. My clubs were in the car, the sun was shining, the course looked in excellent order, and I had not allowed enough time to play!! What's the term...'a busy fool'!!

Delighted to welcome the voco Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa as a member of GTE. Surrey is well known for having some of the finest courses in the world, and they spread right across the county. In the South West of Surrey bordering with Hampshire there are some of the most natural Heathlands in the UK, such as Hankley Common Golf Club and Hindhead Golf Club, which are close to Liphook Golf Club and Blackmoor Golf Club in Hampshire. The Lythe Hill is the perfect place to discover these courses and the gorgeous Surrey Hills. Check it out;

Most times when you tee it up on a Par 3, the club selection is reasonably straight forward, despite decisions to be made about yardage, elevation and climatic conditions.

However, the 17th at the JCB Golf and Country Club introduces a new comprehension of distance combined with elevation change. Yardage of 250 yards and what feels like a 200 yard drop, with a green surrounded by water that seems a long, long way away, make this one of the most intimidating Par 3's you are ever likely to play. Even after you have struck the ball fairly and squarely, the ball is in the air for so long that you never really know whether it's going to be long or short until you see it actually land. A truly unforgettable hole!!!

What's your most memorable Par 3?

Exciting times at Cabot Highlands!

I have just returned from a trip to Inverness, where I had the pleasure of playing at the wonderful Nairn Golf Club and two rounds at the stunning Castle Stuart course at the ever-evolving Cabot Highlands.

A huge thank you to Carden Park Hotel for hosting the 5th GTE Convention earlier this week. The event was a big success mainly due to the professionalism and warmth of the service provided, along with the excellent facilities, including two challenging golf courses.

Our fantastic sponsors, Discover South Carolina, were once again giving us a wonderful boost, and are a major reason we can stage such a popular event. Very grateful to this world class golf destination for being such great friends of the Convention from Day 1.

Mention must be made too for the support provided by England Golf and Visit Cheshire. Their insight and knowledge was valuable and much appreciated.

Our keynote speaker, James Edwards of EDI Golf, presented an entertaining and exciting vision of the future for shorter form golf and how this will affect the growth of the game around the world. It was clear that James backs up his expertise with enormous drive and passion, and some of the projects he has been responsible for are truly remarkable.

And finally, we are very grateful for the support of all the tour operators and suppliers that make the event happen. The enthusiasm and positivity at the event was palpable.

Looking forward to 2025, and the 6th GTE Convention.

As soon as the sun starts shining in England, it is hard not to start thinking about playing golf by the sea! But not just by the sea, but with astonishing views across it, and England fortunately has many terrific opportunities to experience just that. Take a look at this heavenly collection;
