EXCLUSIVE GOLF BREAKS ACROSS THE UK Five of our very best UK golf breaks exclusively for you HERE’S really nowhere quite like the UK for golfing variety.

From parkland to links, all the bases are covered for players of all abilities.

Here is a snapshot of just a few of the golfing resorts that you can find right on your doorstep…

Our journey starts in Cheshire with a course that Jack built.

Set in 1,000 acres of stunning countryside, Carden Park Hotel, Golf & Spa boasts the Nicklaus course - designed by the great man along with son Steve, and is a must for all enthusiasts of the game.

There’s also the Cheshire

T

course, boasting a dramatic cliff-top finish with stunning views of the Welsh hills across the estate.

Goodwood may be famous for its racehorses but it also provides the perfect West Sussex golfing getaway.

The Park Course, an easy walk through woodland

and tree-lined fairways, is a tricky, but rewarding, test.

And when the final putt has fallen, enjoy a luxury spa, keep fit in the gym or enjoy fabulous food in the informal bar and grill.

In the east of England, in Lincolnshire, Belton Woods is a real gem.

With three challenging

Goodwood

courses over 45 holes, gentle undulating fairways make the Woodside course a proper test for low and high handicappers alike.

The championship Lakes course lives up to its name.

Hazards abound and water guards the approaches to many of the greens making shots an exhilarating, but nerve testing, experience.

A spot of croquet, quad biking or relaxing in the Serenity spa are all wonderful ways to spend your time off the course.

Designed by TV golf luminaries Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas a shade over four decades ago, Shropshire’s Macdonald Hill Valley encapsulates a

“The Park Course, an easy walk through woodland and tree-lined fairways, is a tricky, but rewarding, test” relaxed country club feel while remaining close enough to the historic market towns of Chester, Market Drayton and Shrewsbury.

Take in the challenging Emerald and Sapphire courses and then enjoy a relaxing meal in the elegant Borders restaurant.

Only six miles from bustling Nottingham city centre, The Nottinghamshire is the proud host of this year’s English Girls Open Championship.

It’s a just reward for a venue that has invested more than £500,000 in recent years and which continually searches to add new challenges to their two courses.

The city’s only 36-hole complex, the Open and Masters courses are set in 340 acres of magnificent parkland.

Be sure to play the 16th hole on the latter, a signature par 3 that has a wide but shallow green and an approach that rolls back to the water.

THE NORTH OF ENGLAND Home to some of Britain’s best golf resorts HE North is a jewel in England’s golfing crown.

There are few better places to start exploring than at Rockliffe Hall, close to the North Yorkshire border and within driving distance of historic Durham and York.

The home of the English Senior Open, a weekend here really is a five-star experience. Its 18-hole championship course is supplemented by a luxurious clubhouse, award-winning spa and a choice of three restaurants.

Remaining in County Durham, Ramside Hall is the north east’s most

T

exciting risk-and-reward golf resort.

Two championship courses, the Prince Bishops’ and the Cathedral, ensure a thrilling ride from the first to the final green.

Celebrating its 20th birthday this year, the Prince Bishops’ has become established as one of the

best courses in the region while, set among some breathtaking ridges, becks and valleys, the Cathedral makes the most of the stunning rolling countryside between Belmont and Pittington.

Barely a stone’s throw up the road in Tyneside lies George Washington.

Wychwood Park

A huge hit with societies, because of its easy access to both Sunderland and Newcastle, the golf course provides a championship challenge.

Unusually hosting five par 5s, and weighing in at more than 6,600 yards off the back tees, it poses a worthy test to the most capable of golfers.

With a £3 million clubhouse only a couple of years old, the impressive investment continued last year when a new state-ofthe-art driving range was opened by England and Liverpool footballer Jordan Henderson.

Cheshire is the home to superb contemporary

Staying in Cheshire, the Shrigley Hall Hotel is set in more than 260 acres of countryside, and the

18-hole, par-71 course was designed by the celebrated architect Donald Steel, who has worked on every Open Championship venue in the country.

The 19th century country house is the perfect base to explore the Peak District.

Moving into Lancashire, Heron’s Reach Resort, in Blackpool, combines the best of sport and leisure with both outdoor and indoor swimming pools available for those not hitting shots on the 18-hole championship course.

Set in 300 acres of parkland, it offers 53 individually decorated bedrooms.

CELTIC MANOR

Follow in the Footsteps of Ryder Cup Stars

Set in 2,000 acres of glorious parkland at the gateway to Wales, the Celtic Manor Resort boasts three magnificent championship golf courses including the Twenty Ten, the stage for Europe’s dramatic Ryder Cup victory in that year.

No golf fan will ever forget Graeme McDowell with his arms aloft after holing his crucial birdie putt on the 16th hole or the rapturous scenes of celebration that followed when he sealed the triumph on the next green.

The spectacular Twenty Ten Course was purpose-built for the drama of team match play with water featuring on nine of the 18 holes and risk-and-reward challenges lurking around every corner.

From lacing up your shoes at the same lockers which still carry the name plaques of the Ryder Cup players to a post-round drink on the clubhouse balcony where Europe sprayed champagne over their supporters, there is a special atmosphere to every moment on the Twenty Ten Course.

Celtic Manor’s premier course is backed up by two more beautifully-manicured layouts – Roman Road and The Montgomerie – adding up to a rich and varied treat for the golfing connoisseur.

Great variety in a sun-drenched paradise HE appeal of a Spanish golf trip has never been so great as the courses and hotels just get better and better.

It’s tricky to know where to start with such variety on offer but the Costa del Sol remains among the world’s best.

An ideal base for Marbella is the five-star Los Monteros Hotel & Spa which offers great access to two Robert Trent Jones Snr courses at Marbella Golf and Country Club and Los Naranjos.

The numerous bunkers and undulating greens at Marbella Golf and Country Club make for a testing

round.

Just north of Puerto Banus you can meander through the orange groves at Los Naranjos, one of the region’s best-kept courses.

La Quinta is just inland from Puerto Banus and comprises three loops of nine designed by Spanish Ryder Cup stars Antonio

Garrido and Manuel Pinero. The obvious place to stay is on site – at The Westin La Quinta Golf & Spa Resort.

Head back towards the coast and enjoy rounds on the North and South courses staying at Hotel Guadalmina. The South is the second oldest course in

Villaitana

Spain with the first opening back in 1959. Both courses run around the hotel.

On the Costa Blanca coast, Melia Villaitana is a unique hotel with 356 Mediterranean-styled rooms, six restaurants and two Jack Nicklausdesigned courses.

The Levante course is an 18-hole, par 72 layout that measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees.

In contrast, if you fancy a more relaxed round, take on the 4,000-yard Poniente course - an 18hole, par 62 - comprised mostly of par 3s and par 4s.

It’s hard to plan a golf trip to Spain without considering La Manga,

mountains to find the Golf - Hôtel de Valescure, part of the Najeti group.

The Provence retreat, at the centre of the French Riviera, is close to the beach, allowing visitors to find fun on land, sea or high into the hills.

Created in 1895, the Golf de Valescure course is the oldest in the Var region.

Saint Cyprien is a seaside town which is proud of its Catalan heritage, being only 20 minutes from Spain.

It is equally as proud of its golf resort. Opened 40 years ago, the 27-hole complex offers both links and woodland play.

Outstanding views over

the Mediterranean sea awaits those who book a stay at Dolce Frégate Provence.

Amid vineyards and pine trees, the Frégate course is one of the more appreciated spots in the south of the country.

Aquitaine conjours up images of the age of knights and the Château Des Vigiers will do little to dispel those historical notions – with the building dating back to the 16th century.

Two exceptional courses and a top performance centre means you can’t fail to improve at Terre Blanche Hôtel Spa & Golf Resort.

TENERIFE

Perfect blend of great courses and superb weather HILE there is a great deal of high-quality golf on the Spanish mainland, the Canary Islands also offer some stellar options.

Tenerife has eight courses, with the majority located on the southern and western shores.

The course at Las Americas is set into an amphitheatre to provide shelter from the wind and features a number of lakes, streams and bunkers.

Up the coast, there is the Old Course at Costa Adeje and an impressive Dave Thomas creation at Abama.

Why not stay at the magical Paradise Park

W

Resort, where you can play golf at Amarilla. All 18 holes are by the sea, bordering the Marina San Miguel. The designer, Donald Steel, took advantage of the beautiful contrasts of the island to create a course with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.

The 5th hole is a real gem,

with the green and the fairway separated by the ocean. The experience of playing here will live with you for a long time.

About 20 miles northwest lies The Ritz-Calton, Abama.

Here you can find the forementioned Dave Thomas creation of Abama,

Abama

which is regarded as the finest course on the island.

The large greens provide an array of flag positions which, combined with the wide landing areas on each hole, make the course accessible to golfers with high handicaps, while still posing a challenge even for the most experienced players on a golf break. This course is rightly regarded as one of Thomas’ best designs.

Heading back down the coast you will come across the beautiful Hotel Jardin Tropical on the Costa Adeje.

This is a stunning fourstar hotel where you can test your game at nearby

OROCCO is one of the most exciting up-andcoming golf destinations in the world. Along with its intoxicating souks, Moorish architecture and vibrant cities, there is also a host of golf to go at and much of it lies around the attractive destination of Marrakech.

Legend has it the extensive palm grove in which Palmeraie is built can be traced back to the 11th century.

Passing soldiers eating dates spat out the stones, from which the grove grew.

Noria Golf Club offers areas of cactus-covered wasteland and boulder-

M

strewn ravines.

The architect’s vision was of a traditional village that celebrated the architecture of southern Morocco while Assoufid, with its natural feel, winds its way through a unique desert landscape.

The Montgomerie Marrakech is near the heart of the city and is surrounded by olive trees. It also boasts Africa’s first ice bar.

And away from Marrakech, and south of Casablanca, lies the Mazagan Resort.

HE game of golf has really taken root in Turkey since the first course was built here in 1994. Its wide appeal to tourists is no great mystery.

The courses are uniformly excellent and very accessible, while the landscape – pine forests and sandy ground – is perfect golfing territory.

That has enabled worldclass designers like Sir Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomerie, Peter Thomson, Martin Hawtree and Dave Thomas to create glorious layouts to rival anything in continental Europe.

The other constant here is all-inclusive deals – you know exactly what your holiday will cost and you can eat and drink as much as you want.

Stay at the five-star Voyage Belek and you can play at Montgomerie Maxx Royal, which is now established as a European Tour venue, as well as Titanic Golf Club.

Cornelia comprises

T

rounds on a combination of the Old and the New courses.

Seven lakes and over 60 bunkers make for memorable and challenging holes on Michael Gayon’s Old course, while the 6,823yard New course features undulating, tree-lined fairways and poses an altogether different challenge.

At Sueno Hotels Deluxe Belek, a beach and two full-size courses right next to the hotel make the resort one of the most attractive in Belek.

The Pines is probably the the premier layout here; at over 7,100 yards it is a real championship test.

The Titanic Deluxe Belek is a new kid on the block.

The three nines here (River, Mediterranean and Forest) opened as recently as last autumn and were designed by leading British architect Martin Hawtree.

While all the hotels here are spectacular, the immaculate Titanic Deluxe Belek really is quite a sight

Cornelia Golf Club - Faldo Course

“World-class designers have created glorious layouts that rival any to be found in continental Europe” three loops of nine and was designed by Sir Nick Faldo. Each of the Tiberius, Sempronia and Gaius loops feature rippling lakes and tricky doglegs.

Off the course, you will enjoy the five-star luxury of the Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa. Gloria Golf Resort is perhaps the bestestablished of Belek’s resorts and you will not need to leave the property all week. Staying at the fivestar resort, you can enjoy

when lit up at night.

Finally, the Sirene Belek Hotel is a five-star resort conveniently located at the heart of the world-famous Antalya Golf Club.

It is just a few yards from the 1st tees of both the PGA Sultan and the Pasha courses – the former being the host of the Turkish Airlines World Golf Finals knockout event in 2012.

You can enjoy rounds on both courses when you stay here.

LONG HAUL Something special further afield HE European Tour first visited Dubai in 1989 when the Emirates course was surrounded by pretty much nothing other than desert.

Nowadays things are very different in the UAE. There are all manner of five-star options and the Park Hyatt Dubai, adjacent to the world-class Dubai Creek and Yacht Club, offers something very special.

Overlooking the creek and marina the hotel is the ideal place to unwind, be it at the luxury Amara Spa or beside the stunning 25-metre outdoor pool which has four whirlwind pools in

T

each corner. There is also private fishing and charter yachts available for hire.

The Creek held the Classic twice and its course record of 63 is held by Ernie Els and Lee Westwood.

By common consent Fancourt is in the top three courses in South Africa which is some statement

when you begin to consider all that the country has to offer.

Designer Gary Player rates it his greatest feat.

The Links was once an airfield, now it is somewhere worthy of hosting the Presidents Cup. Expect an undulating, windswept terrain, dune-

Fancourt

style landscape.

Fancourt’s Montagu and Outeniqua courses are both stunning and challenging.

The Constance Belle Mare Plage, on the east coast of Mauritius, is home to the Senior Tour’s MCB Championship and boasts two courses.

The Legend, set within a wooded former hunting reserve and co-designed

by Peter Alliss, is the best known and water rather than length is the main threat. Set on an endless white sand beach, the resort also features two spas and no fewer than seven restaurants.

Choose from courses lined by palm trees, alongside the ocean or in the desert MERICA provides a wide spectrum of golf, as varied a collection as you will find in any country in the world, in fact. So much so that it can be difficult to know where to start.

Let’s begin with the nearest to the UK – North and South Carolina.

Pinehurst is arguably America’s most famous golf resort, boasting a remarkable nine courses.

Choose four rounds from Nos 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 – or treat yourself and upgrade to a game on No 2 – the US Open venue in 2014 when Martin Kaymer ran away from the field. It

A

was also here, in 1999, that the late Payne Stewart won the same event.

The Ocean Course Kiawah Island in South Carolina was the host venue for the 1991 Ryder Cup, the so-called War on the Shore, when Bernhard Langer’s putt in the final singles match slid

agonisingly past the hole.

More recently, in 2012, Rory McIlroy won the PGA Championship here.

While this may well prove to be the golfing highlight of your trip, you will also enjoy rounds at Cougar Point, Turtle Point and Osprey Point.

The second option for a

The Blue Monster at Doral

South Carolina trip is Myrtle Beach, which is a golfer’s paradise.

Staying at Embassy Suites Myrtle Beach – Oceanfront Resort, you will enjoy games at Arcadian Shores, Myrtlewood Country Club, Pine Lakes and Myrtle Beach National.

The third and final option is Hilton Head Island, where you can tackle the three championship courses at Palmetto Dunes.

You will still be debating the relative merits of the Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront, Arthur Hills and Tom Fazio courses weeks after you have returned home.

Accommodation is on-site at the Palmetto Dunes

Come September, the eyes of the golfing world will turn to Hazeltine, Minnesota, for the Ryder Cup, when the home country will attempt to win for the first time since 2008.

Captain Darren Clarke will be hoping that talisman Rory McIlroy can lead Europe to victory but with the likes of Spieth and Rickie Fowler spearheading the American team it should be a thrilling contest.

Clarke has a solid Ryder Cup record as both a player and vice-captain, and will no doubt pull out all the stops in his quest to become a winning European captain.
