Golf Travel Guide: Monte Rei, Portugal

Monte Rei has quickly become my favourite course in the Algarve and offers a unique and altogether different golfing experience from the often crowded and over developed coastal resorts.

Golf Travel Guide: Abu Dhabi

Capital of the United Arab Emirates and newly-crowned richest city in the world, Abu Dhabi is very much in its prime. Two hours south-east of Dubai, it has begun to draw increasing numbers of visitors, attracted by the soaring temperatures, the east-meets-west culture clash and the world-class distractions on offer, including the golf.

Golf Travel Guide: South Carolina

 

South Carolina is an excellent choice for golfers who are looking to escape from the dreary British weather for a relaxing holiday in sweet subtropical climes.

Golf Travel Guide: Costa del Sol

 

The days are getting shorter, and the weather is getting colder and wetter; winter is definitely on its way. Who wants to golf in that? Well obviously you do, but why should you when there is a much more appealing alternative? Look no further than Spain's very own sweet spot, Andalucia. More specifically, you should look to the coastal region Costa del Sol for a golfer's paradise of sun, sea and sandtraps.

San Lorenzo is the best recognised and respected courses in the Algarve providing the perfect holiday resort experience for the whole family. The course itself is draped along Portugal's breath-taking Atlantic Coast and meanders through the stunning and tranquil Ria Formosa wetlands reserve.

Golf Travel Guide: Mallorca

Two hours from the UK lies the beautiful island of Mallorca (or Majorca), the largest of the Balearics. The Romans saw it as strategically important and guarded it jealously. Nowadays, visitors are more likely to be drawn to it for its mix of mountains and the Mediterranean, and the golf will leave them just as attached.

Golf Travel Guide: Las Vegas

Think Las Vegas, and golf will probably not be the first thing that springs to mind. Sin City is not only the world's casino Mecca, it is also in the middle of the barren Mojave Desert. But it is in fact a superb choice for people planning a golfing break in the United States.

Golf Travel Guide: Florida

Home to many of the world's best golfers, around 1,250 courses, and the state that hosts the PGA Tour's flagship event, THE PLAYERS Championship, nowhere in the golf-mad United States is the sport bigger than Florida.

Golf Travel Guide: Cyprus

Basking in the Mediterranean sun, Cyprus' warm climate and beautiful landscapes have been attracting visitors from the UK for many years. Although popular amongst tourists who are after a relaxing beach holiday, the island has a lot to offer golfers too.

Golf Travel Guide: Portugal

Portugal has long been known for its top quality golf courses and the Algarve in particular has become synonymous with golfing breaks. It's the Lisbon Coast and Madeira however that are the real up and coming destinations in Portugal for those after a bit of holiday sun along side their golf.
