1. Wentworth Club
Walk in the footsteps of champions at this historic Surrey course, once home to the Duke of Wellington’s extended family. Members and their guests can choose from three spectacular courses, site of legendary victories for the likes of the late Seve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo, among a long list to lift PGA Tour trophies here. Its first-class facilities include a 1920s club house where guests can experience fine dining or even indulge in a spot of retail therapy. After a challenging round, there’s chance to relax in the state-of-the-art spa, or even spend the night in one of its luxurious suites.

2. The Centurion Club
Known for hosting the GolfSixes tournament, this Hertfordshire venue opened its doors to players in 2013. It boasts an 18-hole course designed to be both beautiful and challenging, with four major water features and around 80 bunkers. At the heart of the club house, there’s a restaurant that’s open to the public, so you can experience the elegant surroundings of club life for yourself.

3. Queenwood Golf Club
Most golfers can only dream of rubbing shoulders  with A-listers, tour pros and their besties in this secluded Surrey spot. Expect a stunning course with 5-star facilities and service where your every whim is catered for – did someone say professional caddy?

4. Loch Lomond Golf Club
With views of the spectacular waters, surrounding countryside and perfectly manicured fairways and greens, it’s fair to say this club is breathtakingly beautiful. Once regular host of the Scottish Open, this historic private member’s club prides itself on being a place where golf takes centre stage, and lifelong friendships are made. Besides enjoying a championship-quality round, members can also indulge in other outdoor country pursuits including fishing. For a chance to tee off on these spectacular grounds and experience the world-class facilities, you’ll need to be recommended by a member.

5. The Royal St. George’s Golf Club
This prestigious Kent venue was founded in 1887 and the good news is, it’s open to all! Members though, naturally enjoy special perks which include dining in the magnificent banqueting suite. If you fancy a round here, players with a handicap of 18 or below are welcome. The green fee will set you back a cool £250 between March - October 2021 and there’s a strict dress code to follow too. In July 2021, it’ll host the Open Championship once again with Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm and Dustin Johnson all in the running to lift this year’s trophy.
