Why Book a Golf Break in Bristol

✅ Easily accessible from multiple regions

✅ Top class golf combined with great nightlife

✅ Popular region for groups

✅ Maritime history & award-winning bars

In terms of golf tours, many people tend to think that it involves travelling for hours to the popular coastal regions - however, Bristol, with its fantastic golf courses and buzzing nightlife, is within two hours of London and an hour of Birmingham. The night life grabs you and you can't go more than a short drive (or a few yards!) to find an interesting restaurant, chic bar or a classic city pub.

Or why not, take a day trip over to the historical city of Bath. Bath's history goes back centuries and you can visit The Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, Thermal Spa and other medieval sites.
