Few things in life compliment each other quite like golf and beer, and few places in the world combine the two quite like London, England.
With its rich, dynamic pub culture, and great golf courses, including the more than a century old Royal Wimbledon Golf Club, London is the perfect place for a three-day pub/golf crawl. Here's an itinerary that will have you savoring London's best golf and bitters.
Friday
Start things out at Royal Wimbledon Golf Club. This par-70, 6,348-yard course is a challenging play that will test you with narrow, undulating fairways. More than 125 years old, the course features fast but true greens and deceptively difficult holes. Many of the short holes, for instance, are more difficult than their length would suggest.
Visitors are allowed on a limited basis, and green fees are around $140 a round.
After your round, let the beer drinking begin at the Dog & Fox, also in Wimbledon. The recently remodeled pub is located in an attractive Georgian building. Young's and Charles Wells are on the menu, which also includes food, primarily British-style cuisine.
From the Dog & Fox head over to the Stonhouse for a Timothy Taylor Landlord or Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter. Stonhouse was recently remodeled, but it retained an authentic pub-style feel despite the fine sheen.
Saturday
Have a headache? Pop an Aleve with your coffee and head off to the visitor-friendly International Course at the London Golf Club. A compliment to the club's private Heritage Course, the International is no poor second, and some golfers even prefer its less-punishing design.
The inland links-style course features generous fairways, undulating greens that can get pretty slick in the summer and a mix of bunkering. Overall, it's a challenging, yet accessible track that makes for an enjoyable round of golf.
