Luxury Golf Holidays: The World's Top Places to Play

If you're searching for the perfect escape where world-class golfing meets five-star living, luxury golf holidays deliver the best of both. Whether it's the scent of fresh-cut greens at sunrise or the clink of glasses on a terrace overlooking the 18th hole, the blend of relaxation and sport is unmatched. From the Scottish Highlands to the coastlines of the Algarve, there are breathtaking destinations that redefine the golfing experience.

At Awake & Wander Luxury Travel, we believe luxury should be personal. That’s why we tailor-make every golf holiday to match your tastes, passions, and expectations. And because every journey begins with you, we ensure that even your golf break is crafted to perfection.

Why Choose Luxury Golf Holidays?

A luxury golf holiday is more than just a round of golf. It's about championship courses, top-tier coaching, gourmet dining, spa treatments, and sumptuous accommodations all in one place. It’s the ideal way to relax, compete, and unwind.

Imagine teeing off against the backdrop of mountain peaks or ocean views. Picture seamless transfers, clubs waiting at the first tee, and a personal travel advisor taking care of the details.

You don’t have to be a professional to enjoy these experiences. Many resorts cater to all levels of golfers while offering resort activities for non-players too. It's a complete travel experience.

For those curious about the legends of the game and the sport’s global history, the World Golf Hall of Fame is a fascinating resource.
