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. And yet, tucked into the folds of two very different islands, the archipelago holds one of the more improbable rounds in world […]

Golf in Egypt: Pyramids, the Red Sea, and Some of Africa’s Most Underrated Fairways

Egypt is not the first name that comes up when golfers swap notes on winter sun destinations — Spain, Portugal, and the UAE usually take that spotlight. But quietly, over the past three decades, Egypt has built one of the most distinctive golf landscapes on earth: championship courses shaped by Gary Player, Nick Faldo, and […]

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

For nearly two years, the Albatros course at Le Golf National has sat quiet — a rare pause for a venue that hosted the 2018 Ryder Cup and the golf events of the 2024 Paris Olympics within the space of six extraordinary summers. On September 1, 2026, that silence ends. The Albatros reopens not as […]

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. At the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, two oceans collide — the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez — and the courses built along that meeting point are unlike anything else in the game. 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 […]

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. Cypress trees rise like green sentinels against a burnt-sienna sky. Rolling vineyards border the rough. […]

A Golf Trip to the Scottish Highlands

There are golf destinations, and then there is the Scottish Highlands. Few places on earth demand a golfer’s attention quite so insistently — not merely for the courses, which are extraordinary, but for the overwhelming sense that here, the game has always been exactly as it should be: played on natural terrain, beneath wide skies, […]

A Luxurious Escape to Finca Cortesin

Tucked into the rolling hills of southern Spain, roughly midway between Marbella and Sotogrande, Finca Cortesin is the kind of place that renders superlatives almost inadequate. Opened in March 2006 and sprawling across 532 acres of Mediterranean countryside, it arrived on the Costa del Sol with quiet confidence — and proceeded to redefine what a […]

Why Comporta, Portugal, Is the Next Big Golf Destination

There is a stretch of the Portuguese coastline, about an hour south of Lisbon, where umbrella pine forests give way to sweeping sand dunes, rice paddies shimmer in the Atlantic breeze, and the Sado Estuary glitters at golden hour. This is Comporta — and quietly, almost inevitably, it has become the most exciting new address […]

Your Perfect Trip to The K Club, Ireland

There are golf resorts that are pleasant, and then there are golf resorts that change you. The K Club belongs firmly in the second category. Set within 550 acres of lush Kildare countryside, with the River Liffey threading quietly through the estate, this is a place where the history of European golf is practically woven […]

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. Marrakech, for decades […]

Lofoten Golf Experience: Playing at the Edge of the World

There are golf courses with great views, and then there is Lofoten Links. Perched on the island of Gimsøya in Norway’s Lofoten archipelago, well above the Arctic Circle, this is a course that does not merely offer scenery — it immerses you in a landscape so raw and so alive that the act of swinging […]

Golf in Bordeaux: A Guide to Cabot Bordeaux

There is a particular kind of golf trip that transcends the game itself — one where the fairways are just the beginning and every hour away from the course is equally rich with discovery. A golf trip to Bordeaux is exactly that kind of experience. Woven through vine-draped landscapes, flanked by grand châteaux and filled […]

Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort: Morocco’s Atlantic Jewel

There is a particular kind of resort that defies easy categorisation — one that feels simultaneously like a seaside escape, a cultural gateway, and a world-class golf destination all at once. Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, perched on Morocco’s Atlantic coast in the historic region of El Jadida, is exactly that kind of place. It […]

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. […]
