UK self-catering breaks for golfers

Property 86767

Self catering short breaks and holidays are becoming a popular option among golfers as they enable players to tailor their holiday to fit their exact golfing preferences.

The UK is widely regarded as a top destination, with hundreds of golf courses populating the country, including the renowned St Andrews, the Home of Golf, where the game has been nurtured and developed for 600 years. So why not avoid airport chaos this year and choose a private holiday rental to experience home comforts and enjoy a break at your own pace? On HomeAway.co.uk, UK golf lovers are spoilt for choice, with over 3,500 golf properties available to rent within pitching distance of Britain’s best courses.

Golfing holidays are a fantastic option for a fun group getaway with family or friends, since golf courses and resorts tend to be located in stunning surroundings with great facilities, there’s plenty to entertain non-golfers too, such as scenic walks, spa facilities, and top-class shopping, restaurants and bars. Even though the weather in the UK might not compare to some other Mediterranean favourites, there’s still enough time to book a golf break before the winter kicks in. HomeAway Holiday-Rentals is right on par with its special golf directory which allows travellers to find the perfect bolthole in just a few clicks.
