Expansive Golf Courses
Links Courses
Links courses are incredibly popular among golfers due to their stunning landscapes and challenging layouts. Located mostly along the coastlines, they offer natural, undulating terrains with sand dunes and tall grasses. Playing on these courses can be an exhilarating experience for any golfer. A standout example is The Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland, often considered the birthplace of golf.
Parkland Courses
Parkland courses offer a lush and serene golfing experience in contrast to the ruggedness of links courses. With well-manicured fairways and greens, surrounded by beautiful trees, these courses provide golfers with a Golf Travel Centre golf holiday amidst nature's finest settings. A must-play parkland course is Wentworth Club in England, which boasts three championship courses and a rich golfing history.
Desert Courses
Desert courses have their own unique appeal, offering golfers a test of skill and endurance in the arid landscapes. These courses often incorporate dramatic elevation changes, rocky terrains, and spectacular background scenery. You can enjoy some of the most mesmerizing golf experiences at desert courses such as the Emirates Golf Club in Dubai. These golf holidays worldwide can make for an unforgettable adventure.
