THE GROVE HOTEL, RESORT & SPA – CHANDLER’S CROSS, ENGLAND

Feel like you are cheating the system, being able to enjoy  such stunning countryside in Hertfordshire, just 18 miles from central London. This sprawling mansion was Queen Victoria’s weekend getaway and is still a celebrity hub today. The multi-award-winning course has implemented agronomic practices that are more sustainable and mean the soil drains well in the cooler months, so the course can still be played after a bout of April showers.
