Golf Resorts
A good golf resort works for everyone in the party, not only the player with the lowest handicap. That means fair access to tee times, practice facilities worth using, coaching for every level and days a non-golfer looks forward to. Landscape and climate matter too: a windy links, a shaded parkland course and a desert layout in winter make for very different weeks.
These pages cover how to choose a golf resort for mixed groups, where the fairways stay green from November to March, and how links, parkland, desert and clifftop courses play, with practical notes on tee times, daylight, maintenance and travelling with clubs.
