The briefBring heathland golf to the American market
Just beyond London lie two of England’s most distinguished golfing counties. In October 2025, Golf Tourism England brought a group of American tour operators to Surrey and Berkshire to experience the heartland of English inland golf for themselves.
Destination 18 produced a film for Golf Tourism England that would carry the trip far beyond the group who were there. It needed to:
- Show tour operators the character of Surrey and Berkshire heathland golf
- Capture the pines, heather and classic design that make the region so special
- Let the club and the tour operators on the trip tell the story in their own words
- Give GTE and its members a film to use when selling the region to golfers abroad
The tripFour days, four classic courses
Over four days the group played Walton Heath, Worplesdon Golf Club, Hindhead and The Berkshire, four very different expressions of the same heathland heritage. The group stayed at Macdonald Berystede Hotel & Spa in Ascot and at Fairmont Windsor Park, near Windsor.
The trip was supported by local venues such as the fantastic No 15 Chobham, where the group enjoyed dinner on the Saturday evening after their round at Hindhead.
What we did
- Produced by Destination 18 for Golf Tourism England
- Filmed by OYM Creatives at Worplesdon Golf Club, including aerial drone footage of the course and clubhouse
- Golf with the tour operators on Worplesdon’s J.F. Abercromby-designed heathland course
- On-camera interviews with Chris Lomas of Worplesdon Golf Club and with tour operators on the trip
- Editing, music and a closing Golf Tourism England sign-off
- With thanks to Worplesdon Golf Club for supporting the film
The resultThe buyers tell the story
Alongside Chris Lomas from Worplesdon, the film hears from tour operators Declan O’Brien of Destinations Golf & Leisure in New York, D.J. Jones of Haversham & Baker, Ross McKay of PerryGolf and Maura Nolan of Irish Links Tourism Travel. Their voices, set against Worplesdon’s pines and heather, give clubs and destinations the kind of endorsement that only the people who sell golf trips can give.
Let the course do the talking, and let the people who sell it say why.
