Best UK Golf Courses for Playing in the Wind

Wind is the great equaliser in golf. On a calm day, a long hitter can overpower most courses. In a strong wind, the player who manages their game intelligently — choosing the right club, the right trajectory, and the right target — will outscore the big hitter every time. The courses listed here are those where wind is a genuine strategic factor: exposed links courses, coastal layouts, and moorland tracks where the wind direction changes the character of every hole.
