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 […]

With two championship courses, a luxury hotel and a location surrounded by the island’s history, cuisine and coastline, it seemed destined to become one of Europe’s premier golf destinations. Yet after closing in 2020, the resort […]

The Best Golf Experiences Within Two Hours of Paris

Paris rarely tops the conversation when golfers debate Europe’s great destinations, yet the Île-de-France region quietly holds one of the continent’s densest clusters of exceptional courses. Six courses in and around the city sit inside Europe’s top 100, several of them shaped by the same handful of early-twentieth-century architects who defined golf in the sandy […]

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 […]

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. 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 […]
