Golf trips mean clubs in the boot and early tee times — so parking right at the hotel matters more than usual.
St Andrews
The Old Course is a public course, with tee times allocated through a daily ballot as well as advance bookings. Plan your stay around your tee time.
Royal Birkdale, Southport
Royal Birkdale is on the Southport coast, with plenty of other courses close by for a longer break.
What golfers should check
- Secure parking, so you can leave clubs in the car safely — or ask about storage
- Whether parking is charged
- Breakfast times that work for an early start
- Driving electric? Turn on the EV Charging filter and confirm with the hotel.
