Maidenhead Golf Course

If you're staying at one of the caravan parks around Maidenhead and fancy a round, this established course sits right on the town's doorstep. It's an 18-hole layout that's been going for decades - the sort of place where you'll see regulars who know every undulation by heart.

The course plays through decent parkland with enough water hazards to keep you honest. It's not championship stuff, but it's a solid morning or afternoon out if golf's your thing. The greens are maintained well enough, and there's a reasonable mix of difficulty across the holes.

Golfers will get the most from it, obviously - day visitors are generally welcome, though you'll want to ring ahead to check availability and sort out your green fees. Allow a good four hours for 18 holes if you're not rushed. It's the kind of place where you turn up, play, have a drink in the clubhouse, and move on.

What makes it useful for a park holiday is the proximity to Hurleyford Farm and Hurley Riverside Park just down the road. You could easily combine it with a riverside walk along the Thames nearby, or a visit to Maidenhead itself. If the weather's poor or you're tired of walking, having a golf course within spitting distance of your campsite beats driving twenty minutes to find one. Worth booking in advance if you're planning to go on a weekend.
