With that in mind, PlayMoreGolf has compiled a group of the most picturesque golf courses across the UK, so budding golfers can not only enjoy a round with family and friends but take a walk in the sun around some of the most spectacular open spaces you can find.

ENGLAND

Cavendish Golf Club

Situated in Buxton, Derbyshire, Cavendish Golf Club was opened in 1925 and designed by Dr Alister MacKenzie, whose list of courses includes the iconic Augusta National (home of The Masters). The club is regarded by experts to be MacKenzie's 'Inspiration for Augusta' and it's easy to see why. With undulating fairways, sloping greens, and well thought out hazards, there are many holes at Cavendish that mirror many of those found at Augusta National.

Scarborough South Cliff Golf Club

Considered by many as one of the finest courses in the North of England, the greatest charm of the course is the glorious situation of the holes on the cliff, looking down on the South Bay and Scarborough Town on the one side and along the bold and rugged coastline towards Filey on the other.
