Seascale Golf Club<\/p>\n
Location: Seascale, Cumbria<\/p>\n
Green fees (weekday): \u00a330-40<\/p>\n
An unheralded gem of the Cumbrian coast, our most recent round at Seascale, which cost \u00a340, was as much fun as anywhere we’ve played recently, with the conditioning of the course particularly phenomenal and the time of year. A traditional links designed by Willie Campbell and George Lowe in the late 1890s, it’s a remarkably pure place to play golf and easily one of the best value links experiences in England.<\/p>\n

A 12-hole gem on one of the beautiful of the Scottish Islands, you can jump on at Shiskine for less than \u00a340 year round, be back in the clubhouse in around two hours and have an absolute whale of a time the entire way. A peaceful links track playing along one of the beautiful stretches of coastline in the UK, this is affordable golf at its purest.<\/p>\n Visit Shiskine Golf Club<\/a><\/p>\n Sunningdale Heath Golf Club<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Sunningdale Heath Golf Club<\/p>\n Location: Sunningdale, Surrey<\/p>\n Green fees (weekday): \u00a335-\u00a350<\/p>\n While its next-door neighbour naturally gets all the plaudits, Sunningdale Heath is truly one of the most charming courses in the legendary Surrey sandbelt, beloved as much for its welcoming, inclusive nature as it is incredibly fun layout designed by the legendary Harry Colt. Formerly a ladies-oriented golf club and famously patroned by the Queen herself, Sunningdale Heath is short but remarkably tough, with fourteen par three holes and four par fours configured in a way that’ll represent a true challenge to just about any golfer.<\/p>\n Make no mistake, however, Sunningdale Heath still delivers all the hallmarks of idyllic Surrey heathland golf, with an open layout, beautiful flora and devilishly tricky greens \u2013 made all the harder by the deluge of long par 3s, many of which play well over 200 yards. If you can play well here, you can play well just about anywhere.<\/p>\n Visit Shiskine Golf Club<\/a><\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n The best UK golf courses under \u00a3100 Courtesy The Manor House Golf Club<\/p>\n The Manor House Golf Club<\/p>\n Location: Castle Combe, Wiltshire<\/p>\n Green fees (weekday): \u00a365-\u00a395<\/p>\n Set amidst the truly idyllic surrounds of the Cotswolds village of Castle Combe, The Manor House is known first and foremost for its palatial five-star hotel, but its adjoining golf club is a surprising treat and one of the most underrated courses in this part of England. Starting as a fairly conventional parkland track, The Manor House truly turns it on when you pass the turn, snaking its way through some of the Cotswolds’ most dramatic valleys in a scene akin to something you’d find in Middle Earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n Add in the charming pubs and rooms that await you down the hill at the other end, and it’s fair to say there aren’t many more picturesque places in England for a stay and play.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Visit The Manor House<\/a><\/p>\n Courtesy Royal North Devon Golf Club<\/p>\n Royal North Devon<\/p>\n Location: Westward Ho!, Devon<\/p>\n Green fees (weekday): \u00a390-100<\/p>\n The idea of playing a round on any Royal-titled golf club for less than \u00a3100 feels like fantasy in 2025, but at Royal North Devon, England’s oldest golf course and the oldest links course anywhere outside of Scotland, this is very much the reality. A remarkably flat, open course that, even by links standards, seems to simply melt into the surrounding land, Royal North Devon stretches across 160 acres of common grazing land in the Northam Burrows AONB, and is a must-play as much for its sense of history as it is the unique, almost eerily natural surroundings.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Visit Royal North Devon Golf Club<\/a><\/p>\n Seacroft Golf Club<\/p>\n Seacroft Golf Club<\/p>\n Location: Seacroft, Lincolnshire<\/p>\n Green fees (weekday): \u00a360-\u00a390<\/p>\n Rated by Golf World as the best round you can play anywhere in the UK for under \u00a370, Seacroft is a beloved coastal links not all that far from the Lincolnshire home of England Golf, which incidentally has designated Seacroft as a Championship venue. Starting life as a small nine-hole course on the southern tip of the holiday town of Skegness, Seacroft was extended in the ’20s to encompass a sprawling links that stretches south over picturesque coastline.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Visit Seacroft Golf Club<\/a><\/p>\n The best UK golf courses under \u00a3150 Courtesy Aberdovey Golf Club<\/p>\n Aberdovey Golf Club<\/p>\n Location: Aberdovey, Gwynedd, Wales<\/p>\n Green fees (weekday): \u00a385-\u00a3125<\/p>\n I\u2019ve long been an admirer of Aberdovey. Again, the journey here plays a huge part and this one is different as hopefully you won\u2019t need your car.

Even so, it remains one of England’s greatest, toughest and most celebrated links, and a course that would be well worth travelling to even if the price were significantly higher.<\/p>\n Visit Silloth on Solway<\/a><\/p>\n Courtesy Southerness Golf Club<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Southerness Golf Club<\/p>\n Location: Southerness, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland<\/p>\n Green fees (weekday): \u00a395-\u00a3115<\/p>\n One of Scottish Golf’s true underrated gems, Southerness is in a part of the northern nation not routinely singled out for its great golf, but is perhaps all the better for it.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be fooled by the talk of this being one of the toughest courses in the UK \u2013 it\u2019s so playable and it\u2019s sensationally good.
