Best Golf Courses Around Madrid

Spain’s golf reputation tends to orbit the coasts — the Costa del Sol, Valderrama, the Balearics.

Golf in Croatia: What You Can Actually Play, and What to Expect

Croatia gets mentioned in the same breath as Portugal, Spain, and Turkey when golf travel destinations come up, but the comparison doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.

The Best Golf Courses Around Berlin: A Practical Guide

Berlin isn’t a city golfers think of first when planning a European trip, and that’s partly fair — Brandenburg’s flat, forested terrain doesn’t produce the dramatic coastal holes you’ll find in the Algarve or Costa Brava. But the region around Berlin has more than 20 golf clubs, several of them designed by major-championship winners, and […]

London doesn’t have a golf coast, but it sits inside the densest concentration of heathland golf in the world. Within roughly 50 minutes of the city, the Surrey and Berkshire “stockbroker belt” holds a cluster of Harry Colt and Herbert Fowler designs from golf’s Edwardian golden age, still playing on the same sandy, heather-lined ground […]

Golf in Seychelles: A Tropical Frontier for the Sport

Seychelles built its reputation on granite boulders, palm-fringed beaches, and water so clear it looks retouched. Golf was never part of that story in the way it is in Mauritius or the Algarve.

Le Golf National Unveils Its New Identity: Inside the Albatros Course’s Long-Awaited Reopening

A New Chapter on an Old Fairway: Inside the Hyatt Regency Vilamoura Algarve

For more than three decades, the hotel at the heart of Vilamoura’s golfing quarter was known simply as the Dom Pedro.

It’s a rebrand with real […]

Beyond the Autobahn: Germany’s Best Golf Experiences

Golf in Germany rarely gets the attention it deserves. Talk of European golf trips tends to gravitate toward Scotland’s links, Spain’s Costas, or Portugal’s Algarve, while Germany quietly sits on one of the continent’s most varied golf landscapes: heathland courses shaped by the same designers who built England’s finest clubs, a genuine North Sea links […]
