Notable Liverpool City Hotels (4*)
- Best Restaurant– The Jetty, Broadstairs. Aptly named, this restaurant lies on a Jetty overlooking Broadstairs and Viking Bay. Locally sourced fresh food and drink, in an unpretentious but cute environment. Within walking distance there are a handful of lovely pubs; an afternoon/evening in Broadstairs will be one well spent.
- Best Sports Experience- Witness a Premier League football match- We can secure tickets for Liverpool, Manchester City or Manchester United football matches.
- Best Historical activity– Canterbury Day Trip– See historic Canterbury by taking a punt down the river Stour, followed by a tour of Canterbury Cathedral.
- Best cultural activity– Tate Liverpool– Home to the national collection of modern and contemporary art. If that’s not your thing, the gallery is located in The Royal Albert Dock, an iconic location in Liverpool with lots of bars, restaurants and more museums such as “The Beatles Story”, a must for any Beatles fan.
- Wildcard Liverpool– The Cavern Club- A live music venue / bar like no other. It’s the very place where The Beatles’ musical identity was formed, the club still promotes up and coming bands as well as established artists.
- Wildcard Kent- Chapel Down Winery– Take a tour of one of Englands leading Vineyards, specialising in sparkling white wines, followed by some extensive tasting and a good pub lunch.

Pricing
This is just an example itinerary; we do not sell “off the shelf” packages. All of the golf trips we plan for our customers are bespoke, and so are the prices. Price depends on the dates you travel, party size, hotel rooms, transport choices, itinerary complexity and so on.
It’s no secret that booking through a tour operator like ourselves is more expensive than booking the golf trip by yourself . We’ve added links to all hotels and golf courses in the “at a glance” section if this is what you’re looking to do.
If however you’d rather leave the admin of 20 or 30 separate bookings to the experts and receive round the clock support and advice from a passionate, local golfer, then look no further. We’re confident in the level of service we provide to every customer and are proud to offer fair prices when compared to our competitors.
