Top 5 Countries to Visit in Europe for Golfing

The only difficulty is deciding which of the many great destinations to visit. To help players decide, here's a top 5 list of countries that offer everything golfers could need.

1. Spain

   Southern Spain offers a cornucopia of golfing venues, from La Manga's sports-oriented coastal complex to Barcelona's El Prat, and Valderrama in Andalucia. Aviation links are superb, accommodation is plentiful, and the weather is ideal most of the year.

2. Italy

   The 2022 Ryder Cup venue is also an excellent destination for golf breaks. The north of the country is probably the best region to check out, with popular courses like Villa d'Este, Castelconturbia, and Gardagolf all combining stellar views with skilful layouts.

3. France

   France has made huge strides in the golfing world in recent years, and now pretty much every part of the country offers excellent courses to try. Le Golf National near Paris is a standout, but northern duneland courses like Hardelot les Pins or Belle Dune are within easy reach of the UK.

4. Portugal

   If you want sunshine, natural beauty, and superb golfing tests, Portugal is the place to head. The Algarve is the star, with highlights including Quinta do Lago and Amendoiera, but the area around Lisbon has some great courses too - with the bonus of city-break attractions nearby.

5. Switzerland

   Why not schedule a summer golf trip to Switzerland? Famous venues like Crans-sur-Sierre, Domaine, and Ascona offer jaw-dropping Alpine views, while the altitude will give your swing a boost. The attraction of post-golf fun and decadent fondue is an added enticement.
