England's South West is the country's second-strongest golfing region by ranked courses, encompassing Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire. A vast land where Atlantic-lashed links, clifftop fairways, heathland ridges and rolling moorland define the golfing experience at every turn. The region hosts no fewer than fifteen courses in England’s Top 100, reflecting a density and diversity that rewards serious touring golfers.
