Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm looking for golf courses in the East Midlands on GolfPlnr, but I can't find any. Am I missing something?

You're not missing a thing - we currently don't list any golf courses within the East Midlands region itself. While it's a beautiful part of England, its specific geographical and historical development hasn't led to the kind of golf destinations we typically feature. We focus on places with established, high-quality courses that offer a true golf experience.

If I'm staying in the East Midlands, where's the closest good golf I can find?

If you're set on playing while in the East Midlands, you'll need to venture just outside the region. We recommend looking towards the West Midlands or even parts of Yorkshire for some excellent options. Consider places like The Belfry in Warwickshire or some of the fantastic courses around Sheffield - they're a manageable drive and offer a proper golf day out.

Why doesn't the East Midlands have any notable golf courses compared to other English regions?

It's a fair question, and it largely comes down to the region's landscape and historical focus. Unlike coastal areas with links land or regions with a strong tradition of grand country estates building courses, the East Midlands has historically been more industrial and agricultural. This means fewer natural golf-friendly terrains and less development geared towards golf tourism, which is why we don't have recommendations here.

Since golf isn't an option, what else should I experience in the East Midlands?

While you won't be hitting the links, the East Midlands offers plenty of other unique experiences. We suggest exploring the Peak District National Park for stunning hikes and views, or delving into history at Nottingham Castle and Lincoln Cathedral. It's a region rich in heritage and natural beauty, perfect for a non-golfing day or two.

Are there any plans for new golf developments in the East Midlands that GolfPlnr might feature in the future?

We're always keeping an eye on new developments across the globe, but honestly, significant golf course projects in the East Midlands aren't currently on our radar. The region's focus remains elsewhere, and creating a truly world-class golf destination takes a specific vision and investment that hasn't materialized here yet. We'll be the first to tell you if that changes, but don't hold your breath for a quick transformation.
