Passionate Experts at England golf vacations
Organizing golf trips to England is more than just our job—it’s a passion that predates the establishment of Halcyon Golf Travel. Even before turning our love for exploring golf destinations into a business, we were already helping fellow golf enthusiasts plan golfing adventures in our home land.
Chances are, you’ve found your way to our website because you share our spirit of exploration, or you’re on the brink of embracing it. Your journey is not solely about playing golf; after all, you could do that back home. What you seek is the thrill of the unknown. It’s not just about discovering “another golf course,” but a unique way of experiencing the game, which you can easily find in England if pointed in the right direction. English golf clubs have done a better job of upholding long standing traditions than their Scottish & Irish neighbours, plus it has the added variety of world class Heathland Golf courses, which pair well with some time on the Links.
Golf in England offers a distinctive experience, and we’re here to be your expert guides every step of the way.
Anna Mitsuoka We have been on hundreds organized trips over the last 10 years, some with hosts and some with host access. In June we did a 10 day golf trip to Ireland with Jack. When I was telling my other golf friends who have done a trip like this and Scotland they asked which hotels (plural) are you staying at? I looked confused and just said the hotel (singular) we stayed at. So to my point on what made this the best trip and experience ever….. - Upon arrival at the airport the driver was waiting for us with names on a sign to drive us 2 hours to Killarney Plaza Hotel. - We never had to move hotels. Jack had a coach bus pick us up everyday to drive us to the golf courses Killarney, Ballybunion Waterville, Old Head, Tralee. - We had dinners as a group which were reservations made by Jack. - Tee times, the “game” for the week was tracked and scored by Jack. - Bus had snacks, adult beverages, plenty of bottled water. - Jack was with us the entire time. The night before he’d be able to make morning massages for anyone who needed one before another great day of golf. Literally we showed up and golfed. There was zero stress about anything. We had a ride back to the airport in plenty of time to do all the airport stuff. I have and will continue to recommend Jack and Halcyon golf travel. I can’t wait to use the company again and to see Jack again and play golf. This was truly the BEST experience I have ever had on a trip! Until next time! Ignacio Yulis Lee (and Halcyon) were super easy to work with, planned our trip to a tee and, we’re always accessible when we needed them. I highly recommend them if you are planning a golf trip to Scotland. Steven Lai Visited England for the first time in my life with two of my best friends and had the greatest golf trip ever. We were able to play six rounds of golf spread over a seven day span at arguably six of the best golf courses in England, Royal Birkdale, Royal Lytham, Royal Liverpool, Walton Heath (Old), Sunningdale (Old) and Royal St. George's. Thanks to Halcyon Golf Travel for securing our tee times and awesome hotel accommodations for a ten night stay split between the Malmaison Liverpool and Bloomsbury Hotel in London. The icing on the cake had to be when Jack Sallis joined us for golf on our first round of our trip, played at Royal Birkdale. His golf tips and various golf and non-golf related stories were very helpful and entertaining. If you are considering a golf trip to England, Scotland or Ireland you should definitely contact Halcyon Golf Travel for their expertise in planning the perfect golf trip! Eric Tom We have taken golfing excursions to Scotland and Ireland, but our week in England playing its top courses was equally if not more memorable than any. Halcyon made it an easy, thoughtless trip for us. It was well-organized and perfectly scheduled, the latter something you do not appreciate until, for a couple of many examples, you are driving contra-flow at a time of day that works out so well or able to get a little more sleep one morning after a long day. We even got restaurant recommendations from Jack! I would highly recommend Halcyon for any of your British Isle trips. We plan to start all over again with Scotland in the near future! michael siegel Exceptional excursion impeccably curated and executed by Halcyon Golf. Three great courses and all travel details perfectly done. Harry Bains Lee and Jack at Halcyon made for a truly epic golf trip to Scotland (Fife and East Lothians). As someone who has typically planned trips myself I did question the use of a third party initially but by the end of the trip I am already thinking about my next trip with these guys! Some highlights: - Very clear agendas and transport timing - Transport always on time and were able to pivot if we needed to change plans. Drivers very personable and friendly - Lee was available on what’s app and given most trips to St Andrews involve ballot attempts for the old course he was available at an instant to modify tee times and shift the schedule - Provided access to Rusacks Hotel which had limited availability to the public Lee personally came up from his home in England and spent the night with us in St Andrews and walked the course at Kingsbarns. Very personal touch and not expected. He was very vested in us having a great trip and nothing came off transactional. Between not having to book any tee times myself and having seamless transport using Halcyon was worth it alone. The courses can be far apart and having on time transport was a key benefit I overlooked. Add in the local recommendations on dining, which courses to play, and extensive organization (using gsheets) is what created a special experience. The money spent was more than made up for by the world class experience! Best golf trip of all time. Rudy Rai Amazing host, great company to make your trip extraordinary! Jack is the best!! Mark Asher First class all the way! An amazing trip to golf in Ireland was made spectacular from every detail taken care of by Jack and Halcyon Golf Travel. If you want your trip to be perfect Jack is your mate! Takuya Davis Jack and his team were exceptional! He was there for our entire trip, both in Northern Ireland and in the South. Couldn't have asked for a more memorable golf trip. Thanks Jack and Halcyon Golf Travel! Paul My recent experience with Halcyon Golf Travel was first rate! From the very beginning of booking the trip, Jack and Lee were both informative and highly responsive. Any question I had was answered within 24 hours, and the materials supplied gave me great confidence long before my trip began. Upon arrival, Lee reached out to insure everything was to our satisfaction and to see if any additional assistance was necessary. The hotel they arranged was clean, comfortable, and very close to the St. Andrews golf courses. It also provided a substantial breakfast--a great way to start the day. They booked early tee times on a variety of courses, which allowed us to also book afternoon tee times. There was no shortage of great golf. The restaurant recommendations were spot on, so we could choose quality experiences from pub food to high-end dining. The arrangement for dinner at 18 in Rusacks Hotel provided an incredible and memorable event. To anyone considering a travel golf holiday in Scotland, Ireland, and/or England, I would strongly recommend using Halcyon Golf Travel services.Load more

For ultimate freedom, hiring a chauffeur driven vehicle is the best way to travel around England. A local driver can show you all the best sights and help you get the most out of your trip. If you’re sticking to 1 base during your trip, it would be better on your budget just to pre book transfers to and from the golf course each day.

For the ultimate luxury England golf vacation, a helicopter can transfer you between golf courses. Halcyon Golf Travel can assist you with all your transportation needs in England.
