Europe Golf Holidays

No longer is the golf travel market in Europe dominated simply by the established countries like Spain and Portugal. The ever-widening reach of the air travel network and the common currency make skipping off Europe's beaten track in golfing terms an increasingly attractive and popular option. We have selected a few of the best which will provide something a bit special for the high end golf traveller who may have ticked off the continent's old favourites.

Leading the charge is Aphrodite Hills, the cornerstone of golf in Cyprus and a luxury golf and leisure resort to rival almost any other in Europe, with the added bonus of the island's stunning Mediterranean coastline. Continuing the Mediterranean theme is the astounding Costa Navarino Resort on Greece's Messinian shores, where golf from Langer and Trent Jones Junior is just the tip of the iceberg of what ranks as Europe's most exciting new resort in recent years, an award certainly contested by Thracian Cliffs, on the Black Sea coastline in Bulgaria, where Gary Player has crafted an eye-watering course that has been favourably compared to Pebble Beach.
