Golf Lessons in Bath: Where to Learn & Play

Bath is one of England's most beautiful cities - Georgian architecture, Roman heritage, and UNESCO World Heritage status all in one compact and walkable place. Its golf reflects the same quality. Surrounded by Cotswold hills, Wiltshire countryside, and the edge of Somerset, Bath sits at the centre of one of England's most varied golfing regions.

Why Gift Golf Lessons in Bath?

The jewel in Bath's golfing crown is Bowood Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort in Wiltshire - 18 miles east and ranking as the finest course in the county. Set in 2,000 acres of parkland designed by the legendary landscape architect Capability Brown, Bowood's championship course stretches over 7,300 yards and is widely considered one of the best resort courses in the South West. As a setting for a golf day, it is hard to surpass.

Closer to the city, Lansdown Golf Club has occupied its elevated position on the Cotswold escarpment since 1894. The views from the higher holes stretch across Bath and the Somerset plains, and the course - described as a parkland on the Cotswold escarpment - is superbly maintained. Entry Hill Golf Course, just 10 minutes from the city centre, provides an accessible nine-hole option that welcomes golfers of all abilities, making Bath one of the few cities where you can literally walk from your hotel to the first tee.
