The packages will allow golfers to visit one of the most prestigious golf destinations in the UK in the New Year from just £240 for a two-night package that includes three rounds of golf or enjoy a four-night package with five rounds of golf starting at just £485.
With the Atlantic Links comprising the six championship links of Burnham & Berrow in Somerset, Royal North Devon and Saunton (East and West Courses) in Devon and St Enodoc and Trevose in Cornwall, each package offers excellent value and guarantees premier quality links golf.
"The milder, temperate climate of the north Atlantic coast of the South West means that the greens, fairways and tees on all our courses will still be in good condition despite the time of year," comments Michael Blight of Burnham & Berrow Golf Club.
"And the introduction of the 'Winter Wonder Links' packages for the first three months of the year means we are offering tremendous golf and unbelievable value for money given the high quality of our courses, especially when compared to similar courses in Scotland and Ireland."
Though relatively unknown compared to the links of Scotland and Ireland, England's Atlantic Links boasts an intoxicating mix of traditional links courses designed by some of golf's best known architects such as Harry Colt and James Braid as well as harbouring a rich history of staging a host of prestigious amateur tournaments such as the Brabazon Trophy and Tillman Trophy, testament to the high quality of the courses.

Notes
Off the golf course, England's South West is bursting with attractions including pretty coastal towns such as Cornwall's Port Isaac, Rock and Padstow and unique historic towns like Weston-super-Mare and Bath, near Burnham & Berrow, which would be ideal destinations to round off a golfing adventure.
The region's rich culture features the inimitable Tate St Ives, displaying the very best in modern and local art, the incredible Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan whilst outdoor activities such as sailing, surfing, walking and horse riding are as good here as anywhere in the British Isles.
The gastronomic delights of the South West are not to be missed either, from the exceptional Padstow seafood restaurants of famous local chef Rick Stein and a variety of other Michelin-starred restaurants, to real English ale and an authentic ploughman's lunch in an abundance of traditional and unspoiled country pubs.
As for accommodation, the overall standard in the area has risen dramatically in recent years. There are now a host of comfortable, character hotels like the George Hotel in Braunton, beautifully restored stately homes such as the St Moritz Hotel near Rock and the Bath Spa Hotel as well as delightful bed-and-breakfasts, all offering something else for which the unspoilt South West in renowned; value for money. Visitors from the continent in particular have been finding that, given the current exchange rate of the UK pound to the Euro, the trail offers tremendous value.
In terms of travel, the nearby M5 motorway and A39 "Atlantic Highway", and international airports at Bristol, Exeter and Newquay, ensure easy accessibility for all visitors.
