The best all-round golf courses to play in the winter
1 The Belfry (PGA National), West Midlands
If you want a serious test, this Dave Thomas-designed course is the one for you, all year round. Be careful of the cavernous bunkers!
2 Breadsall Priory (Moorland Course), Derbyshire
This moorland course takes center stage over its sister course, the Priory, in winter months. Free draining means it’s playable even on the wettest days.
3 Conwy, North Wales
One of the best in North Wales. But beware the last three holes – they have been known to ruin a TG scorecard…
4 Whitekirk, East Lothian
Quirky and modern, this course makes the most of its natural water hazards.
5 Ufford Park, Suffolk
Perfect for a golfing getaway. The course is always in good condition thanks to recent drainage improvements.
6 Ilfracombe, Devon
Such beautiful surroundings make this a must-visit even in winter months. Don’t be distracted by the views!
7 The Hampshire, Hants
This course is maturing fast, and rarely closes thanks to it sitting on free-draining chalk downland.
