Best Bath Golf Packages
While Bath holds some challenging terrains on expertly maintained fairways and greens, you're never short of somewhere to stay either. Cumberwell Cottages are favoured by many for several reasons. Firstly, you're staying on the grounds of five different courses. Secondly, location. You're so close to the city of Bath, that it's a simple taxi ride away.
These packages are a golfer's dream. Usually, you have to book hotels, transport, activities, green fees, and tee-off times. It's too much. We remove all the stress to make for a smooth experience.
The Course We Recommend
Bath has many excellent courses. If we had to choose, Cumberwell Park is our favourite. It brags five different courses. Four of which are executive courses, and one is a par 3. Not only does it provide an excellent range for all ability golfers, but it also challenges everybody's short game (the tricky part).
What To Do in Bath
Bath is the ultimate place for sightseeing, from the architecture to must-visit landmarks like the Roman Baths. With a wide selection of bars, clubs, and restaurants, it has everything. It's recognised as possibly the most beautiful city in England. So, you won't be short of excursions.
Around Southgate and its many side streets, you're spoilt for choice with restaurants. There isn't a single cuisine left untouched, meaning there's something for everyone. Even fussy eaters. As it's a constantly growing city, there are many trendy eateries available for all you foodies.
As for nightlife, there's a selection of independent and chain venues. Each is open until late at night and early morning, so it's great to visit if you're looking for a sociable and eventful evening to seal your day of golf.
Bath Travel Information
Bath is accessible easily by car from any point in the UK. The Cumberwell Park course is only half an hour away from the city centre. So, no matter where you stay, you're always close to the action.
You have many options for getting around Bath, making the travel a breeze. Many buses, taxis, and Uber are available to get you into the centre for action-packed days out or a lively night hitting the town.
Bath Weather
Similar to everywhere in England, the weather is unpredictable. Through the winter, it's mostly cold with an overcast. If you want Bath at its best, we recommend visiting from June to September, when the weather is at its best (unless England does its thing).
Even throughout the winter, Bath's many golf courses are world-class and therefore the rain does not affect the terrain or playability.
FAQ
Can you take golf clubs on public transport?
Yes, you can take golf clubs on public transport. Keep them secure at your seat or in one of the luggage carriers that often feature on buses or trains.
As long as they aren't blocking the walkways or disrupting anything, it'll be fine.
What is a shorter golf course called?
There are two kinds of shorter courses. The first is known as an executive course. An executive course often has lower than 65 par and therefore favours par 3's and 4's over par 5s.
The other is known as a par-3 course. The clue is in the name, each hole is a par 3 and does not go above this.
