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;

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.

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?

Always a stimulating experience!

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;

Great to see Chart Hills Golf Club flourishing again. A quality golf course designed by Nick Faldo in Kent.

An award-winning golf course designed by six-time major winner, Sir Nick Faldo. 🙌 One stand-out feature here is the bunkering, with challenging fairway bunkers that frame the tee shot. Here you can see the infamous 200-yard ‘Anaconda’ bunker - one of the longest in Europe!

The Norfolk Golf Coast is a stunningly beautiful stretch of coastline in the northern part of the county, and has some excellent links and cliff top courses.

Whilst Kings Lynn Golf Club is neither links nor cliff top, it is a tree lined course set back from the coast, it is the perfect start to a tour along some of the most scenic landscapes in the UK.

Hunstanton Golf Club is a classic links and one of the UK's top 100 courses. It is a serious challenge and has staged many important amateur events.

Royal West Norfolk, known as Brancaster, oozes old worldly charm, and has a unique atmosphere starting with the charismatic clubhouse, to the tidal saltmarsh at the far end of the course. Featuring highly in all rankings, Brancaster is an unforgettable experience.

Moving further east, the next course is the stunning Sheringham Golf Club. A combination of links and cliff top, some of the views down the coast line are exceptional, but there is much more to the course than the natural beauty. It is a stiff test, where wind is a major factor.

Finally, Royal Cromer Golf Club sits majestically above the sea shore, and is a superb cliff top course. Complete with a lighthouse, Royal Cromer is another course that is recognised as one of the Top 100 in the country.

Play these five courses, and you will want to turn around and play them again!

Surrey has always been known as an excellent golf region, but on browsing through Top 100 Golf Courses, you are reminded of the extraordinary quality of golf courses in this county. Of course, there are the globally reknowned Clubs like Sunningdale, Wentworth and Walton Heath, who have hosted many professional and top class amateur events over the years, but what caught my eye was some less high profile work of one of golf's historical greats in the world of golf course architecture.

On this particular rating, three excellent Harry C**t courses appear between 18-20, and each one provides a truly memorable challenge, which in most other counties in England, could quite easily be ranked 1, 2 and 3.

Number 18 is the quite heavenly Tandridge Golf Club. Set high in the Surrey Hills the course offers superb views of the surrounding countryside, spectacular cascading holes, and inclines to infinity greens. C**t's influence is everywhere, with elevation changes, bunkers cut stunningly into the sides of hills and challenging greens; there is breathtaking golf on offer here. The conditioning of the course is outstanding, and the Clubhouse is one of Surrey's finest with a palpable sense of history and prestige.

Royal Wimbledon GC at No. 19 is the third oldest golf club in England established in 1865, although Harry C**t redesigned the current 18 holes in 1924. Situated close to London, it has an impressive Clubhouse, and 18 holes of quality heathland golf. Although not long by modern standards the course is protected by tight fairways and harsh rough in the form of gorse and heather. Darwin commented on the magical nature of a golf course on the doorstep of one of the world's biggest cities; it is an oasis of tranquility only 8.7 miles from Piccadilly Circus.

Further to the west side of Surrey is another C**t charmer in Camberley Heath Golf Club. A traditional Surrey Heathland, Camberley has tons of character, and just like all the best heathland courses requires great precision and accuracy to thread your ball through fairways guarded by towering pine trees and heather. Measuring just over 6,400 yards with a Par 71, the challenge is not all about power, but just like all three courses mentioned here, you will need a lot of skill and shot making ability to score well.

Golf Tourism England can proudly recommend these three courses to golfers from anywhere in the world, and know without any doubt that you will be hugely impressed, and grateful you took the time to explore work that defines Harry C**t's mastery.

Mention of the dates 3-5 August may not immediately ring bells for golf fans in England, but these are the dates that you could indulge in the most spectacular weekend of not just golf, but top class athletics. It is, of course, the Olympic Games in Paris time, and the GB golf team will be represented by Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick, a golden couple if ever there was one! GTE has strong links to Sportsworld who are an official partner for hospitality and tickets at the Olympics, so please get in touch if you fancy the idea of a trip to Paris to see the golf on Saturday 4th, and athletics during the evening before. It's a great package!

Full of admiration for Goswick Golf Links for forging a relationship with the world rewknowned golf region of East Lothian, known as Scotland's Golf Coast. Goswick is almost in Scotland, and whilst there are some very attractive courses close by, there is no doubt that an association with the likes of Gullane, North Berwick and Muirfield will be any other than positive.

Despite the remoteness of Goswick Golf Club, they refuse to sit still and work hard at promoting themselves; and with a high degree of success. This initiative is another example of their resourcefulness.

Scotland’s Golf Coast, a marketing alliance boasting the greatest concentration of championship links in the world, has welcomed Goswick Golf Links as a member

Intriguing news about a new 'modern links in the City' opening in north west London this summer.

Mackenzie & Ebert have been involved in the design, and that alone is worthy of note given the quality of the work they have achieved around the UK. The key numbers are par-72, 6,610-yard with USGA greens averaging 550m2 of bent grass. Some £700,000 has been invested in the construction of riveted Eco Bunkers, so it's clear the owners, the Bridgedown Golf Group, are serious about creating a top quality venue.

The Club will be open to members and visitors, which will hopefully address some of the increasing demand for the sport.

Exciting times and looking forward to seeing the finished article.
