Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I find any golf courses in Leicestershire on GolfPlnr?

We've scoured the maps and walked the land, but Leicestershire simply doesn't host any golf courses that meet our standards for inclusion. It's a unique situation for a region in England, so don't expect to tee off within its borders. If you're looking for a round, you'll need to venture just outside.

If I'm staying in Leicestershire, where's the closest golf I can play?

While Leicestershire itself is golf-free, you're not far from some excellent options. We recommend heading west into Warwickshire or north into Nottinghamshire; both offer a good selection of courses within a 30-45 minute drive. Consider places like The Belfry in Warwickshire for a championship experience, or some charming parkland courses around Nottingham.

What else is there to do in Leicestershire if I'm not golfing?

Leicestershire might lack fairways, but it's rich in history and beautiful countryside. You absolutely must explore Leicester Cathedral and the King Richard III Visitor Centre - it's a fascinating dive into English history. For outdoor enthusiasts, the National Forest offers lovely walks and cycling routes, providing a different kind of green escape.

Is Leicestershire a good base for a golf trip to nearby regions?

Absolutely, it's a surprisingly strategic spot if you're willing to drive a bit. Staying in Leicestershire gives you central access to the golf-rich counties of Warwickshire, Derbyshire, and Nottinghamshire. You'll often find more affordable accommodation here, freeing up your budget for green fees at some truly fantastic courses just beyond the county lines.

What's the best time of year to visit Leicestershire, even without golf?

For the most pleasant experience, we always suggest visiting Leicestershire from late spring to early autumn, roughly May through September. The weather is generally milder and the days are longer, perfect for exploring the historic sites and enjoying the countryside walks. You'll find everything open and buzzing, without the chill of winter.
