Links vs Parkland vs Heathland: What’s the Difference?

Golf courses can look dramatically different from one another, even when they share the same par, length and basic layout.

From Vineyard to Fairway: Wine-Infused Golf Trips

Golf and wine share more than a reputation for leisurely afternoons.

Golf & Bee Sanctuaries: A Surprising Partnership

At first glance, a manicured fairway and a wild beehive seem to belong to opposite worlds.

Tee Off in Style: Park Hyatt Marrakech

Morocco has long held a quiet fascination for golfers — a land where the scent of orange blossom drifts across the morning air, where the distant silhouette of snow-capped peaks frames every approach shot, and where the ancient rhythms of a medina feel worlds away from the tranquillity of a well-kept fairway.

The Rise of Wellness-Integrated Golf Hotels

Golf has always been more than a sport. It is a ritual, a discipline, and for many, a form of therapy in itself — four hours of purposeful walking, fresh air, and the meditative rhythm of club on ball. But something significant has shifted in the world of golf travel over the past few years. […]

Minthis Resort: Cyprus Golf Escape

Perched on a tranquil hilltop above the wine-producing villages of Pafos, there is a place that does not feel entirely of this era. Ancient olive trees line the fairways. A 12th-century monastery watches over the greens. The Troodos Mountains rise on the horizon, blue and unhurried, as if they have been waiting there all along. […]

Boutique Golf Hotels with Personality

There is a particular kind of exhaustion that sets in after too many nights in a hotel that could be anywhere. The same marble lobby. The same neutral palette. The same laminated breakfast menu.
