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

A Golfer’s Guide to Cabo San Lucas: Where the Desert Meets the Sea

There are golf destinations, and then there is Cabo San Lucas.

Fairways run beside sand dunes, tee boxes perch […]

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. In early 2026, that chapter closed and a new one began: following a top-to-bottom renovation, the property reopened as the Hyatt Regency Vilamoura Algarve, ahead of its original schedule. 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 […]

Your Golf Vacation in Saint-Tropez

Saint-Tropez has been seducing artists, aristocrats, and the international jet set since the 1960s, but beyond the yacht-lined Old Port and Pampelonne’s beach clubs lies a quieter, equally seductive pleasure: golf framed by umbrella pines, cork oaks, and views across the Mediterranean. A golf trip here isn’t about ticking off championship layouts in isolation; it’s […]

Hidden Golf Paradises in Europe You Haven’t Played Yet

Europe’s golfing reputation is built on a handful of household names: St Andrews, Carnoustie, Valderrama, the Algarve’s resort belt. But scattered across the continent’s edges — Arctic islands, volcanic archipelagos, alpine valleys, and forgotten Mediterranean cliffs — are courses that rarely make it onto a golfer’s radar, despite offering scenery, design pedigree, and golfing history […]

From Vineyard to Fairway: Wine-Infused Golf Trips

Golf and wine share more than a reputation for leisurely afternoons. Both reward patience, precision, and an appreciation for terroir — the idea that place shapes character, whether in a Cabernet Sauvignon or a links-style fairway carved into chalky soil. Across Europe, South Africa, and the Americas, a growing number of resorts have built entire […]

Yet across Europe and beyond, golf courses have quietly become some of the most effective sanctuaries for bees and other pollinators […]

Best Multi-Country Golf Tours in Europe

Golf in Europe has never respected borders quite the way its geography suggests it should. A links round in County Down can be followed by a warm-up swing in the Highlands within a day’s travel, and a morning tee time in the Algarve can lead to an afternoon flight that lands you at a Robert […]

Tee Off in Tuscany: Golfing Italy’s Most Picturesque Countryside

There is a particular kind of golf that only Tuscany can offer — a round where the scenery competes so fiercely with the game itself that you might find yourself pausing on the fairway, putter in hand, just to stare.

There are golf destinations, and then there is the Scottish Highlands.
