Couples Golf Trips to England
Championship parkland, a country house, and a spa to come back to. England does the golf and spa break for two as well as anywhere, with resorts where one partner plays and the other relaxes, and the day comes back together over dinner.

Who this trip suits
A couples golf trip needs more than a tee time. It needs a resort that handles the golf and the relaxation in equal measure, so that the day works whether both partners play or only one. England is ideal for it, with a cluster of country house and resort hotels that put a championship course, a serious spa, fine dining and beautiful grounds on a single estate. One partner can play a round while the other takes the spa or the gardens, then both meet for dinner with the day shared rather than split. It is the gentlest, most balanced way to build a break around golf.
It suits the couple who both play and the couple where only one does. We can arrange golf for two, a round for one and a spa day for the other, a lesson, a couples treatment or a fine dining evening, and we match the resort to the season, the occasion and the budget. The result is one booking, one clear price, and a romantic break that happens to have golf at its heart.
The resorts to build it around
- The Grove. The polished Hertfordshire parkland and former WGC and British Masters host close to London, with a five star country house hotel and one of the best spas in the country, the natural choice for a luxurious golf and spa break for two.
- Bovey Castle. A neo Elizabethan country house in Dartmoor National Park in Devon, set in hundreds of acres with its own course, a spa, falconry and fine dining, one of the most romantic golf retreats in England.
- Foxhills. A Surrey resort with two parkland courses, a spa and tennis just outside London, a relaxed and well rounded base for a couple who both enjoy the leisure side as much as the golf.
- Stoke by Nayland. A Suffolk hotel with two quality parkland courses and a full spa in the Constable countryside, a quieter, good value base for a balanced couples break under two hours from London.
- The Belfry. The famous Warwickshire resort, a four time Ryder Cup host with three courses, a spa and a lively hotel, for a couple who want a marquee course alongside the relaxation.

When is the best time for a couples golf break in England?
May to September is the prime window for the warmest, longest days and the resort courses at their best. Spring and autumn midweeks offer the best value and the quietest spas, and the country house resorts are atmospheric year round, with log fires and the spa carrying a winter break. English weather is changeable, so pack for a passing shower whenever you travel.
Can one partner golf while the other relaxes?
Yes, and the best English resorts are built for exactly this. While one partner plays, the other can take the spa, the treatments, the grounds or the local sights, and the day comes back together over dinner. We can arrange a round for one, golf for both, a lesson, a spa day or a couples treatment, all in one booking and one clear price.
