golf Holidays – Which European Countries Have The Best Courses?
golfing holidays are big business with thousands of people each year heading abroad for a few relaxing rounds of golf in the sun. What could be better? For many people, the quintessential Mediterranean golfing holiday is Spain. Spanish resorts boast a number of bustling and popular golf courses not only along the Costa Brava, Costa Blanca and Costa Del Sol, but on the islands of Tenerife and Mallorca to name just two. In Spain, the sun is always shining and the sangria is always flowing. Add to that a week of golf, and you’ve got a truly heavenly combination.
On a par with Spain, if you’ll forgive the pun, is nearby Portugal. The Algarve has been rated for its fantastic quality of golf courses for almost twenty years. The beaches are simply beautiful, the golf courses are stunning and the Algarve is full of local charm and character. Portugal has long been a popular destination for golfing holidays and it is still by far one of the most popular destinations not only in Europe, but in the entire world.
If the Mediterranean climate isn’t quite your thing, you may fancy a golfing holiday which is almost on your doorstep. Ireland has a number of reputable, high-quality golf courses and the local hospitality is world famous. As Ireland is close to home, the value for money aspect makes this a worthy consideration – not to mention the fact that Ireland’s playable golf courses are sought after by golfing holidaymakers the world over.
Ask any golf fanatic what he thinks of France and he’s sure to mention Chateau d’Augerville, golf du Medoc and Evian Royal Resort. These resorts are famed the world over for their quality and playability. France is easily accessible from the UK and you can even take your car over – or under, as the case may be. With many pockets of France also being famous for their fine wines and delicious cuisine, it’s sure to make for an unforgettable holiday.
What kind of list of European golfing destinations would this be without mentioning the world-renowned home of golf? Scotland is home to over 550 top class golf courses and many golfing enthusiasts from all over the world make the essential pilgrimage to such famous courses as Turnberry, St Andrews and Carnoustie.
