Top European Golf Resorts for Women

As the famous adage goes ‘men are from Mars and women are from Venus’ and it’s true we are very different in many ways. With the participation levels in ladies’ golf growing at a tremendous rate there is an emerging market for female-oriented golf holidays so today we are going to have a look and see the top resorts for your girls’ golf holiday. We have had a good look around the courses on All Square and come up with a selection. For this we were looking for courses that anyone could play so that your whole party will be happy, places with other activities and great spas, nice local scenery and courses that have hosted some prestigious ladies’ events. Here’s what we came up with.

Evian Resort, Evian les Bains, France

An obvious location for a great place to have a ladies golf holiday is the Evian Resort in France. Apart from having a luxury La Prairie Spa, this is the host course for one of the five majors in the ladies golf calendar. Sitting on the banks of Lake Geneva, this is as luxurious as it gets and is exactly what you need if you’re in the mood to spoil yourself. This is one of the nicest courses in Europe and the dramatic scenery surrounding the course really sets it apart.

Gleneagles, Scotland

Sticking with the theme of luxury, the facilities at Gleaneagles are second to none and perfect for your girls golf trip. With five courses to choose from, an amazing array of other activities, incredible food and a wonderful spa, there is no way your trip will be log enough so you’ll need to come back. Gleaneagles was a host of the 2018 Solheim Cup so now is the time to play it!

Verdura, Sicily, Italy

With a stunning location right beside the Mediterranean and 2km of private coastline, Verdura is nothing short of paradise. Aside from the superb Kyle Phillips-designed Championship course and the nine-hole par-three Executive course, the redesigned second layout reopens later this year following a major renovation programme. As the final preparations take place over the next few months, nine holes will be open in August with the full 18 ready for play from October. The golfing facilities are complimented by an equally good coaching team that will help you improve your game whilst you’re here too. Once golf is over for the day you’ll be delighted to take a dip in the 60m long infinity pool and let every ounce of stress in your body just melt away.

Who is it best for? Girls/Couples looking to relax and improve their golf whilst on holiday.

Woburn, Milton Keynes, England

This secluded little gem is around an hour from London and has, over recent years, gained more and more recognition for the quality of this venue. This 54-hole complex is rated inside the top 100 courses in the UK and is the home of Charlie Hull, 2013 Solheim Cup winner and Woburn member since the age of 11. You have your choice of playing the Duke’s, the Duchess or the Marquess courses and each provide their own challenge in this wonderfull woodland club. This classic English parkland course will give you a great chance to play at a European Tour venue too. The newly reinstated British Masters is played here and hosted by their own Ian Poulter. The clubhouse and practice facilities at Woburn are of the highest quality so this is a venue you will want to spend some extra time at during your visit.
