North West named top golfing spot for 2011
The International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) has bestowed the singular — and potentially lucrative — honour on the north west for 2011, following in the footsteps of such celebrated golf hotspots as Provence & Cote D’Azur, the Algarve, Andalucia, and Turkey.
The North & West Coast Links Golf (N&WCL) represents a dozen of the country’s finest tracks and beat off the likes of the Fife region in Scotland — home to the world famous Old Course at St. Andrews — to top spot.
