The best golf courses in the British Isles
5. Best golf courses in Britain – Royal St George’s

This sprawling, rumpled, unconventional and above all natural expanse of linksland presents the game in its rawest and original form.
It’s magnificent – complete with uneven stances, blind shots and unpredictable bounces. It’s also iconic – the unofficial home of English golf.
