5 Great Ideas for a Golf Holiday

Are you in the process of planning your first golf holiday? Have you decided that the best vacation for you is one that combines a beautiful and interesting destination with plenty of golfing opportunities? Mixing sport with fun has long since been a popular holiday theme, and golfing is one of the most widely embraced sports around the world. What this means is that you shouldn’t have any trouble putting together a golf holiday. As you plan out your perfect trip, we’ve got some great ideas to keep in mind for your first golf holiday.

What Do You Want to Do on Your Holiday?

In order to plan the perfect golf holiday, it’s important to define what your idea of ‘perfect’ is. For some people, that may mean golfing each and every day, from the moment the course opens until the late afternoon. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for anything else, but that could be exactly what you’re after. Then there are those who want more of a combination style holiday wherein golf is the focus and you get plenty of course time, but you also take time to explore the destination.

No matter what style of holiday you prefer, it should factor into what destination you choose. For those only interested in golf, you’ll want a destination that is heavy on courses and options. For those who want the combination style holiday, you will want a destination with something more to offer such as a beach, shopping, dining, history, architecture, and so forth.

Travel as a Foursome

Golf holidays can also be a lot more fun if you travel as a foursome. This can be two couples or four buddies, whatever you like. This will bring a social aspect to the holiday that can switch up the fun factor. 

Choose a New-to-You Destination

Rather than picking a place you are already familiar with, why not step outside the box and travel to a new-to-you destination? Sure, it’s great to experience a new course, but that may not be enough to create those lasting memories. Choosing a town, city, and country you have never travelled to can help to really push the holiday over the top.

Do Your Research – Ask for Recommendations

As you start to go through all your destination options, it can be rather overwhelming. A great idea is to do some research online, reading reviews from other golfers, and chatting with family and friends who have booked their own golf holiday. They can share the good and the bad with you, which can help you to make a more informed choice.

If you want to narrow down the list to some of the most notable countries in the world when it comes to golfing, that list should include:

Each of these will have their own personality and style of courses.

Continue the Fun When You Get Home

Finally, why stop the fun when the holiday ends? You can continue your love of the sport by playing as much golf as possible when you get back. In fact, you may even want to step up your passion for the game by investing in new higher-end equipment, upgrading your own golf cart and outfitting it with new parts which are easy to shop online for, and challenging yourself with the tougher courses. Not only will this keep your passion for the sport alive and well, but it will help to prepare you for your next golf holiday.

Using these ideas to plan your golf holiday will help to ensure it is a huge success.
