Leicestershire & Rutland

Leicestershire and Rutland may not dominate golf's headline conversation, but for the traveller who values heritage, architectural diversity, and genuine character, few English counties deliver so consistently. The region's golf spans ancient heathland set within protected landscapes, mature parkland shaped by the sport's founding fathers, and forest-threaded layouts that have quietly ranked among the East Midlands' finest for generations. With East Midlands Airport (EMA) providing swift access from across the UK and Europe, and Leicester's rich cultural offer adding depth to any visit, this is a county pairing that rewards closer inspection.
