Top 5 Golf Holiday Destinations in the Sun

After a long winter in the UK here is a list of top sunshine golf holiday destinations during the first quarter of 2010. We have pleasure in providing below our list of top 5 golfing destinations throughout Europe, US and Middle East.

1. Portugal
Villas in Algarve proved the most popular destination for self catering golf accommodation in Portugal. Flights from the UK are literally a couple of hours and there is a good choice of budget airlines. It proved convenient for many golfers to take their golf clubs on the plane with them and book a golf villa in Portugal. Our top 5 golf courses in Portugal are Vilamoura, San Lorenzo Golf Course, Vale do Lobo Resort, Vila Sol Algarve and Penha Longa Golf Resort.

2. Spain
The 2nd best destination for golf accommodation was Spain, which is a vast country and has a temperate climate during the winter months, and thats why we have witnessed many golfers flocking to Spain. Our top 5 most popular golf courses in Spain are Valderra, La Manga, PGA de Catalunya, Sotogrande, RSHE Club de Campo and El Saler.

3. France
Golf in France has always been popular, especially with close proximity from UK. Golfers can literally book holiday accommodation in France, put their golf clubs in the car and set off using the Channel Tunnel and can be inside France in no time at all. Our top 5 golf courses in France are Le Golf National, Chateau d'Augerville Golf Hotel, Golf du Medoc, Domaine de la Bretesche and Evian Royal Resort.

4. Florida
With more than 1,200 golf courses and all year round sun its no wonder that Florida has firmly established itself as the 'sunshine golfing state' in the USA. Compared to Europe, the cost of golf is relatively cheap and there is also a wide choice of golf villas in Florida. There's lots of championshp golf course, many of which host tournaments for the US PGA Tour. Our top 5 golf courses in Florida are TPC Sawgrass, Seminole, Calusa Pines and World Woods (Pines Barrens).

5. Dubai
Probably not a destination that you would automatically think of for golf, but Dubai has come along way in the past few years and quite literally grown rapidly out of the desert and transformed itself into the high profile, glitzy, all-singing-all-dancing, finanical and golfing capital of the middle east. Only 7 hours from the UK and a widly English speaking country where huge numbers of ex-pats reside, self catering villas in Dubai are perfect for a weeks golf or family trip in comparison to the expensive 5* hotels as the alternative option. Our top 5 golf courses in Dubai are The Emirates Golf Club, Four Seasons Golf Club Dubai (Al Badia), The Montgomerie, Dubai Golf & Country Club at The Creek and Arabian Ranches Golf Club. For those still planning their golfing holiday and need golf accommodation we recommend any of the 5 destinations listed above.
