How to choose the best golf holiday deals
Duration
A short golf trip will look very different from a week-long or even fortnight-long golf holiday, in terms of budget and how far you’re likely to want to travel.
If you only have a couple of days to spare, it doesn’t make sense to spend too much time traveling, so golf holidays that only involve a short flight – or no flight at all – are your best bet.
If you’re going for a week or more, your options become a lot wider.
Location
If you are planning a longer golf holiday, your destination options increase. You may therefore choose to plan a trip based on a country you particularly want to visit, pick a course you’ve always wanted to play and base your trip in that area, or simply see which places offer the best combination of
It’s worth considering the climate of any countries you’re considering visiting, as you don’t want to risk getting soaked every round when you could have escaped to some glorious golfing weather.
Other activities
If you love golf, it’s tempting to try to cram as many rounds as possible into your golf holiday. There’s nothing wrong with that, but some of the best golf holidays involve a mix of on-course action and other activities, particularly as this stops you getting worn out towards the final rounds of your trip by playing 18 holes or more every day.
Even if you are playing every day, think about what you want to do when you’re not on the course, as this will dictate the type of facilities you might want at the hotel and/or other things to do in the area.
If there are non-golfers in your group, other things to do will become a big priority.
Transportation
Some of the best golf resorts have many fantastic courses within easy reach of the hotel. If the hotel you’re staying in doesn’t offer easy access to the golf courses you’re playing, you need to factor in the time and money involved in getting to and from your rounds. Is there a free shuttle service? Will you rely on taxis? A rental car?
Food & drink
As with any holiday, there are likely to be options ranging from self-catering all the way through to all-inclusive. Work out which will offer you the most peace of mind and value for money. One thing to consider is whether you’ll be spending much time at the hotel to benefit from any pre-paid food and drinks, as you may be away at golf courses a lot of the time.
