The Splendor of England: Royalty, Giant Clocks, and the best Golf Course Resorts

Golf may have been invented in Scotland, but England's affection for the game is evident in superlative golf resorts爏urrounded by爈ush greens.

Golf may have been invented in neighboring Scotland, but England抯 history is rich with its affection of the game of golf, even reportedly enjoyed by Queen Elizabeth I herself. And who knows? Perhaps it was somewhere on the back nine that Shakespeare got the idea for Romeo and Juliet. It was ships of travelers and adventurers from England that brought their love of tea, those weird Pilgrim hats, and possibly golf to the shores of America. Fortunately for Jack Nicklaus and Babe Ruth, golf stuck and cricket did not.
