The South West of England - spoil yourself in golf holiday paradise

Whilst famous as a holiday destination, England's South West has often been overlooked in terms of golf resorts and golf tours. However the region has some of the finest in the country, and is well worth a visit on your next golfing weekend away.

St Mellion - the Nicklaus Course was his first design in Europe

The jewel in the crown of the region is St Mellion Resort, the new host of the English Open. It has 36 holes on site, but it is the Championship Nicklaus golf course that is the big draw. Other excellent resorts include Carlyon Bay, Dartmouth Golf & Country Club, Woodbury Park and the exquisite Bovey Castle.

For a golf tour in the South West, there is Bournemouth, arguably the UK's premier golf tour destination. With lively nightlife and a selection of city centre hotels, it's the perfect place to relax after a testing round on one of the excellent golf courses in the area. Isle of Purbeck, Ferndown and Broadstone already have excellent reputations and should be played, and Remedy Oak is a new course that is set to become a classic.
