England has more links courses than Scotland. Most Americans fly over them on the way to Edinburgh. That’s a mistake worth correcting — and one that usually saves $200 per round.
The Kent coast alone has three Open Championship venues within 30 minutes of each other. Lancashire has Royal Birkdale and Royal Lytham side by side. Norfolk, Devon, Northumberland — England’s coastline is threaded with links golf that rivals anything north of the border, at 40% less per round. My brother Richard knows this territory well. I know it through 20 years of recruiting inside the travel industry.
