Manston puts you within a short taxi ride of Royal St George's, Prince's, and Royal Cinque Ports. All have hosted the Open Championship at some point in their history, George's is obviously still on the rota and Cinque Ports is the final qualifying venue. I'm biased towards the latter as I'm a member.
Fairoaks puts you a similar distance from my other club, Worplesdon. One of many good courses in the Surrey heathland belt, too many to list and all close enough to Fairoaks. Further west you have North Hants GC which is close to Blackbushe and also a very good course.
Redhill would be a useful arrival point for Walton Heath - a cracking couple of heathland courses which have hosted one Ryder Cup and host US Open qualifying each year. I know a few members if you need an introduction.
Goodwood has a decent golf course as well as an aerodrome and motor racing circuit - I think it is some sort of shrine to expensive hobbies.
RAF Leuchars works well for St Andrews!
I've often wondered who else mixes golf and flying. The best thing about flying is that it makes golf (even at fairly exclusive, private clubs) seem really, really cheap.

What GA airfields could you recommend for a day out flying including a round of golf ? My choices require a stop over!
Woodvale, EGOW, 4 mins taxi to Hillside which is an Open qualy course and has probably the best back nine in the UK and rated 32 in Europe. No Customs.
Hillside Golf Club
Llanbedr, EGOD, should open up again late summer 2012, again 4 mins taxi to Harlech (Royal St Davids) Probably best not played on a windy day, unless you are a glutton for punishment! No ATC!! Contact Kemble for landing info.
Home - Royal St Davids Golf Club
Blackpool, EHNH, just a short taxi to St Annes old links or the 2012 Open course at Lytham St Annes.
St Annes Old Links :: St Annes Old Links, Lytham St Annes, Lancashire
Cambell Town, EGEC, 2 mins away, Machrihanish Golf Club and also Machrihanish Dunes. NOW we are talking serious golf here, The first hole being recognised as 'the' if not one of the best opening golf holes in the world.
