OUR BEST ADDED-VALUE OFFERS ITH so many resorts offering tantalising getaways for groups of golfers, it can be a headache deciding where to choose for your next break.

Arguably the highlight is Herons’ Reach. Located only 10 minutes from Blackpool’s bars and clubs, the course has an element of links feel due to it being so close to the coast. Both of Macdonald Portal’s two courses are fine parkland tracks with views over the Cheshire Plain. The spa is first rate – as is the steakhouse.

DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF THE NORTH ROM the sandy beaches of the Northumberland coastline to Yorkshire’s rolling countryside, there really is a wealth of sights and courses to discover in the north of England. Pick any area and you are greeted with plenty of strong options for courses to tackle. Take Durham, for example. Ramside Hall is
F
one of the county’s premier resorts; home to two risk-and-reward courses (water is a prominent feature on both), a luxury spa and several restaurants and bars. If you are looking for a European Tour challenge course then head to Close House – the venue for the 2020 British Masters.

THE BELFRY HOTEL & RESORT Voted the World’s Best Golf Hotel at the 2019 World Golf Awards
HE Belfry is synonymous with golf and has hosted more Ryder Cup tournaments than any other venue in the world. The resort’s three stunning courses, located in the North Warwickshire countryside, have provoked some of the most dramatic moments in the history of the sport. With a variety of rooms and suites to choose from, The Belfry is the perfect destination for any occasion.

SOUTH OF ENGLAND: GREAT GROUP GETAWAYS ROM white cliffs and beaches to historic castles and rolling countryside, the south of England has plenty to offer the travelling golfer. The same applies to its golf courses. If you are looking for a major tournament experience then head to Kent where you can stay and play two rounds at 1932 Open venue Prince’s
F
for just £140. Move further inland to counties such as Berkshire and Hampshire and you can still tee it up at top courses while enjoying an array of facilities and comfy accommodation. The four-star Old Thorns in Hampshire is a great example. The resort’s modern apartments offer panoramic views over the Peter Alliss-designed course.

CELTIC MANOR An all-encompassing Ryder Cup resort nestled in the Welsh countryside
OUND at the Gateway to Wales, Celtic Manor Resort is a world-class golfing destination. Host to the 2010 Ryder Cup, the Twenty Ten Course was purpose-built for the drama of the Ryder Cup with risk-and-reward challenges lurking around every corner. It was here that Colin Montgomerie led Europe to a dramatic victory over the United States. Two other championship courses – The Montgomerie and Roman Road – also offer beautifully manicured tests of golf, while two fine clubhouses and an excellent golf academy complete a truly magnificent golf offering.
Away from the course, golfers can relax in bars, spas and restaurants, while the Celtic Manor Collection offers a wide choice of accommodation – from the five-star Resort Hotel to the historic charm of the Manor House and the contemporary convenience of the golfers’ retreat at Coldra Court –or stay as a group in one of the luxurious Hunter Lodges. Golf isn’t the only activity you can enjoy while staying at the Celtic Manor resort. Adventure golf, laser combat and archery all add to the experience. Packages to stay one night and play two courses are great value, or stay two nights and play all three courses!

So much so that the seaside stretch running from Lancashire to Merseyside and then the Wirral has been dubbed England’s Golf Coast. It is home to 14 premium courses, including three Open Championship venues in Royal Birkdale, Royal Liverpool and Royal Lytham & St Annes. Nor are the other courses on this stretch of coastline to be overlooked. Hillside, Formby, Southport & Ainsdale and West
Lancashire all sit comfortably within top 100 rankings for England. Southport is the ideal base for tackling England’s Golf Coast. It offers golden beaches and great accommodation, as well as several restaurants and bars. Liverpool and Manchester are also within easy reach.

DISCOVER THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND Whether you desire links or inland golf, Kent has you covered
Prince’s
Royal St George’s
HE headline act of a golf trip to Kent is undoubtedly the trio of Open courses on this glorious stretch of coastline. You can walk in the footsteps of the game’s greatest players when you tee it up at Prince’s, Royal Cinque Ports and Royal St George’s, which have hosted the Open a combined 17 times. The best way to experience these Open heavyweights is to stay at The Bell Hotel, in Sandwich, where you are close enough to experience the newly renovated Himalayas loop at Prince’s, as well as Royal St George’s and Royal Cinque Ports.
Away from this great triumvirate, Kent is home to a number of strong layouts across links, parkland and downland terrain. For example, Littlestone is an impressive two-course club. Its Championship course is among the best links in the country.

OLF in Wales leaves you with the distinct feeling that this is how the game is meant to be played – unstuffy, unhurried and oozing character, quality and charm. Swansea is the ideal base for discovering all that south-west Wales has to offer for a golf trip. If you can time your visit to this wonderful waterfront city when the weather is at its best then you really are in for a treat. The five-mile stretch of Swansea Bay is part of one of the most striking coastlines in the world: the Gower Peninsula. Within walking distance of the city centre are beaches and sweeping views
of the Bristol Channel. For links golf, a tour to Swansea is hard to beat in terms of quality and value for money. Pennard, Southerndown, Ashburnham and Royal Porthcawl (Wales’ No.1 course) are all highly ranked and must be played if you are heading down to south-west Wales.

EXPERIENCE THE BUZZ OF IRELAND’S CAPITAL Guinness, live music and unforgettable links golf in Dublin
Portmarnock
Powerscourt
UBLIN may be a relatively small capital city but what it lacks in size it certainly makes up for in vibrancy. The city sets the standards for pub culture and you are guaranteed live music whatever night of the week you choose to go out. Dublin is known the world over for its mouth-watering pints of Guinness but the capital is also establishing a reputation for its craft beers, while its restaurant scene is experiencing a huge boom. In Dublin, you are in the perfect position to tackle Ireland’s enormous selection of golf courses. The country is home to more
than 300 courses and a third of the world’s links layouts. If you would prefer a quieter pace than the bright lights of Dublin, the coastal settlement of Malahide is ideal. Alternatively, the county of Wicklow is full of charming seaside towns and superb links courses.

GOLFING HEAVEN IN EAST LOTHIAN Found close to Edinburgh, this stretch of golf-rich coastline is glorious
Craigielaw and Kilspindie
North Berwick
HERE is a very good reason why East Lothian is known as Scotland’s Golf Coast. The concentration of quality courses in this picturesque part of the country is bordering on ridiculous. Muirfield, North Berwick, Gullane, The Renaissance Club, Luffness, Musselburgh – the list of big-name courses goes on and on. Muirfield is the headline act having hosted the Open 16 times but you could happily spend a month golfing in East Lothian and not even step foot on its hallowed fairways. Kilspindie is a great option for groups looking for a fun matchplay venue. The glorious views are
matched by the theatre on the course. This is seaside golf at its best. East Lothian is also a haven for foodies. The rolling farmland and stunning coastline means there is no shortage of fresh produce, including wonderful seafood and refreshing cider.

BUCKET-LIST GOLF IN AYRSHIRE With Glasgow nearby, a golf trip to the west coast takes some beating
Royal Troon
O conversation about the best golf trips to Scotland would be complete without mentioning Ayrshire – yet another magnificent stretch of golfing coastline. World-class links are the biggest draw for a golf tour of Ayrshire and there are plenty of them. In fact, there are nearly 50 courses to choose from in Ayrshire, including three Open venues in Trump Turnberry, Royal Troon and Prestwick. Ayrshire’s proximity to the city of Glasgow makes it very accessible, whether by car, train or plane. Prestwick is a great base and is
sometimes called Scotland’s 19th hole due to its fantastic restaurants, pubs and late-night bars proving very popular with visitors and locals. If you want to extend your adventure then you can hop on a ferry to play bucket-list courses like Machrihanish Dunes.

Italy
ITH arguably the best food in the world, stunning cities and fantastic culture, it’s not surprising that so many people fall in love with the country. While it might be the obvious destination for a weekend city break, you might not have considered Italy as the setting for your next golfing holiday. However, with a combination of worldclass gastronomy and championship golf throughout the country, there’s no reason to overlook Italy. You’ll find the golfing experience of equal quality to its Mediterranean neighbours, with significantly quieter fairways, as Italy boasts some of Europe’s top courses – including European Tour hosts, Royal Park, in Turin, and Verdura, in Sicily. There will be no bigger stage to display this golfing excellence than during the 2022 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome. This will be the first time Italy has staged the biggest team event in men’s golf. There has never been a better time to take your clubs to Italy.

PORTUGAL For sheer quality and variety, a golf break in Portugal is hard to beat. The Algarve is the headline act but there’s plenty of top tracks to discover close to the capital. – Dominic Spencer, Golfbreaks Expert – European Team
Travel info Flights to Faro in the Algarve are very easy to find but can increase in price quickly. We strongly recommend booking early to get the best deals. Lisbon, Portugal’s capital, is served by EasyJet, Ryan Air, TAP and British Airways.
Climate April to June and September to October are very popular months to travel. November, which is technically in the low season, is an excellent time to travel, especially to the Algarve where the weather is generally still very pleasant.
Top tip The Praia D’El Rey resort is one of very few destinations in Continental Europe to have two courses inside the Top 100 in Europe. Elsewhere, The Magnolia Hotel and Quinta do Lago combo is hard to beat – and the Bovino steakhouse is superb.

There are five of them in total: Victoria, Old, Millennium, Pinhal and Laguna. The Old is the star turn and arguably the best golf course in the Algarve. The tumbling fairways and ambience are an absolute joy. As part of your package, you will enjoy free shuttles to all of Vilamoura’s courses. There are three hotels in the Dom Pedro Collection. Both the Vilamoura and Marina hotels are modern and cosy, while the Portobelo offers apartment-style lodgings for those wanting extra living space. All three hotels are within walking distance of the marina, where milliondollar yachts moor and you can dine and socialise at the upmarket restaurants and chic bars.

VILAMOURA: THE HEART OF THE ALGARVE ILAMOURA, in the central part of the Algarve, is synonymous with world-class golf. Within 30 minutes of setting off from Faro Airport, you will be getting ready to hit the fairways. The Dom Pedro Hotel & Golf Collection leads the way with its five highly-
rated courses, but there are plenty of other options nearby, such as Vila Sol, Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago, so you will never be left feeling short-changed. Vilamoura also has plenty to keep visitors busy off the course, with its marina complex the centre of activity.

AMENDOEIRA GOLF RESORT Among the very best two-course resorts in Continental Europe
MENDOEIRA’S Faldo course isn’t just one of the area’s outstanding courses, or indeed one of the Algarve’s: it is one of the most high-calibre courses in the whole of Continental Europe. It has a reputation as being exacting – and it is – as well as impeccably presented. However, many golfers who come to Amendoeira prefer the O’Connor to the Faldo – that’s how evenly matched the resort’s two courses are. It is a more gentle test – witness the wide open nature of the downhill dogleg 1st – but don’t think it is there for the taking. You can tackle Amendoeira’s two impressive layouts, as well as its nine-hole Academy course, as many times as you wish with our unlimited golf packages. Plus, you get free shared buggies. Away from the course, the resort’s apartments and villas are modern and furnished with everything you could possibly need. A supermarket, restaurant, tennis courts and football pitches complete the impressive offering.

Climate Year-round sunshine comes as standard in Morocco. In coastal Agadir, maximum daily temperatures range from 20˚C in the winter to 26˚C in the summer. In Marrakech, temperatures dip to 18˚C in the winter, rising to 36˚C in the height of summer.
Top tip The currency of Morocco is the dirham – and be aware it is a closed currency. This means it can only be bought once you arrive in Morocco. Make sure you pick up your dirhams at the airport when you land in order to get the very best rate available.

S there any destination more appealing as an antidote to the British winter than the Caribbean? This year we are focusing on the Dominican Republic and Barbados, two islands that offer an array of all-inclusive options from the four-star Turtle Beach to the high-end Casa de Campo Resort & Villas. The latter boasts one of the world’s great courses – Pete Dye’s spectacular Teeth of the Dog but it’s only one of three championship layouts at this truly exceptional resort. At Puntacana Resort & Club, you can choose from two outstanding types of accommodation as well as between Dye’s La Cana course or Tom Fazio’s Corales. Quite simply, you must play both. Barbados is an island with a strong British heritage. The west coast is best for golf, with world-class resorts such as Royal Westmoreland. It’s the perfect base from which to immerse yourself in Bajan culture. For those wanting to soak up the chilled Barbadian lifestyle then Turtle Beach is the perfect destination. This upmarket resort overlooks the Caribbean Sea and offers a wide range of watersports.

There are also courses designed by the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio and Gary Player to choose from. Kiawah Island is a 45-minute drive from stylish Charleston, recently voted by Conde Nast Traveller readers as the top city in the world outside of the UK and the number one small city in the USA. A port city, Charleston is renowned for its pastel antebellum houses and excellent restaurants, while the four golf courses on our Charleston Tour are all within half an hour’s drive. A little further south is Hilton Head Island, where you will find the popular PGA Tour stop at the Sea Pines Resort. Finally, to the north of Charleston is Myrtle Beach.
