There are more parkland-style courses in the UK than the rest – links, heathland, downland, US-style etc. – put together – and more than 750 of them belong to 2-FORE!-1. Browse through our top 55 parkland courses that belong to our popular discounted green fee scheme.

Featured are some of the best inland tracks in Britain with many having staged top professional tournaments, including European Tour action, and seriously challenged the game’s leading players.

Parkland courses by their very nature should be treated with respect. Many fairways, and greens for that matter, are flanked by trees so they’re no stroll in the park in playability terms. Accuracy and good course management, specially off the tee, is the name of the game. You’ve really got to plot your way round parkland courses otherwise there’s every chance you’ll be scrambling among the timber. You’re guaranteed a parkland round to remember at any of these 55 courses and there’s bound to be one or two near you.
