Awe-inspiring spaces, world-class amenities, and a clean shot straight off the tee box.
The game of golf has been synonymous with luxurious leisure for decades, and for good reason. For golf enthusiasts, the game is more than just a sport - it’s a unique combination of elegance and adventure.
From beautiful rolling greens and scenic landscapes to jagged coastal fairways, we’ve rounded up five incredible golf courses from all over the world.
Turkey might not be the first country that comes to mind when you think about a golf trip, but the Regnum Golf Course in Bodrum might just change that. A challenging Par 71 course, the Regnum Golf and Country Club is surrounded by olive groves and is managed by the same hotel group that produces the some of the world’s best olive oil. The impressive clubhouse is set in a calm, beautiful surrounding with a restaurant headed by world-class chefs, a café and bar, and magnificent terrace featuring a pool that overlooks the olive groves and golf course.
Hawaii and golf go together like Tommy Bahama and hibiscus flowers, and Manele Golf Course at the Four Seasons in Lanai is a must-experience on a trip to paradise. Previously called The Challenge at Manele, the course consistently ranks among the Top 30 Aesthetic Courses in the United States. The Nicklaus design is worthy of high praise. Pro-led lessons and clinics are available during your stay as well as week-long memberships to play as many rounds as you’d like.
A dramatic seaside layout with the Atlantic Ocean visible from every hole, West Cliffs Golf Course in Portugal is one of the most natural golf course sites imaginable. One of the most impressive characteristics of West Cliffs, which is located about an hour from Lisbon, is just how anchored it is to the native coastal environment. Designer and architect Cynthia Dye worked closely with local government agencies to ensure minimum disruption to the environment, creating a well-balanced and sustainable links in a highly attractive location where it fits seamlessly into its natural surroundings.
“It was like the course was already there, just waiting for us,” said Dye.
With breathtaking Pacific Ocean views from the cliff tops, sunken fairways and Mount Fuji as a backdrop, it's easy to see why this course is so popular. At approximately $300 per round, the Fuji at Kawana Resort (one of two courses at the resort, which lies on the Izu Peninsula) is the most expensive greens fee in Japan. But with a back nine containing some of the best and most scenic holes in Japanese golf, we think that the Fuji course is worth every single yen.
Millions of years in its creation, Old Head Golf Links sits on a stunning and unique headland reaching out over two miles into the Atlantic Ocean and is steeped in rich Irish history. Located in County Cork on the South West Coast of Ireland, the Club has developed into one of the most recognized and sought after golf experiences anywhere on earth. The Old Head of Kinsale is a sanctuary for those seeking the finest in personalized service, and is certainly a bucket list course for every golf enthusiast.
Each course brings its own unique flavor of sophistication and challenge and offer much more than a round of golf – playing on one of these courses ensures an unforgettable experience that blends world-class play with breathtaking scenery and unparalleled amenities.
As the world of golf continues to evolve in design and sustainability, these courses set a new standard for luxury that goes beyond the greens.
