European Golf Breaks – Ideas On Where To Go

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 you fancy something a little closer to home – or perhaps you aren't keen on the idea of playing golf in the blazing sun – why not head for Ireland? Irish golf courses are famed for their quality and the friendly surroundings and Irish hospitality are well-known. An Irish golfing holiday can yield great value for money and the wetter climate allows for great soft ground all year round. What's more, with the destination being so close to home it's easy to nip over for a short weekend without too much planning.

France is already famed for its wine and food and the golfing holidays aren't bad either! Its proximity to the UK makes it easy to pack up the car with your golfing equipment, through the Channel Tunnel and straight onto the golf course. There are world-famous courses all over France with Golf du Medoc, Le Golf National and Domaine de la Bretesche comprising some of the most popular ones. With world famous cuisine and fine wines, France makes for an unbeatable golfing holiday.

The UK is blessed with a number of top class golf courses and there's a reason they call Scotland the home of golf. The scenery is stunning, the golf hotels are unbeatable and it's right on our doorstep. Scotland boasts over 550 courses within a relatively small area, with names such as Carnoustie, Turnberry and St Andrews so well known due to their involvement in the Open Championship. If you only ever go on one golfing holiday, it simply has to be Scotland.
