There is something special about playing heathland golf. It’s like taking on a links course, without the sea. Sandy soil creates firm, fast fairways, while the grasses that grow in dunes also thrive on a heathland. Throw in some mature trees and a sprinkling of gorse and heather, plus their accessibility and year-round inland playability, and you could argue that heathland golf is even better than a links. Big-name tracks like Walton Heath, Sunningdale and Woodhall Spa epitomise everything that’s great about heathland golf. While most keen golfers know about these, there are dozens of other quality venues that boast a similar playing experience – like the ones we’ve hand-picked here, all of which are in the 2-FORE!-1 green fee scheme.
