Palmeraie Golf Palace – Golf in Marrakech

With an amiable climate, championship golf courses and bustling cities to explore, it is no surprise that golf in Morocco has become such a popular option for golf holidays. Marrakech is quickly becoming a must visit destination for any golfer seeking a holiday off the normal beaten golfing track. The resort of Palmeraie Golf Palace is one of the most established in Morocco, offering golfers a championship layout surrounded by a traditionally styled resort. Palmeraie was once a desert oasis. Now it’s an 80-hectare sanctuary of calm in the midst of Morocco’s most vibrant city, Marrakech. Traditional architecture and a wonderful complex of bougainvillea-filled gardens and elegant pools provide this paradise of a resort with an authentic Moroccan ambience. Read more

Hilton Head Island – a golfers paradise

Last weekend saw Swede Carl Petterson hold off a strong field that included world number 2 Luke Donald, to win the RBC Heritage at the famous Harbour Town Golf Links in the golfing paradise that is Hilton Head.

This event is always the first PGA Tour even to follow the US Masters and has an impressive list of previous winners that includes Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Nick Price, Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, Greg Norman and Davis Love III.

These golfing greats have all enjoyed the fantastic course and stunning island surroundings, and I am lucky enough to have enjoyed teeing it up here too, and would recommend it to any golfer looking at a golf break to the USA. Read more

Wales Golf Tours – Royal Porthcawl & The South Coast

Largely down to the supreme quality of the links courses in Scotland, England and Ireland, many of which have gotten maximum exposure to the golfing masses through hosting the Open Championship, golf courses in Wales are often overlooked by golfers travelling to the UK from far and wide. However, thanks in no small measure the hosting of the 2010 Ryder Cup by Celtic Manor; Welsh golf is now up there with the biggest hitters in the UK golf break game. While all that is on offer at Celtic Manor is well worth the trip to Cymru, it would be foolish to think that golf in Wales starts and ends at the famous Ryder Cup venue. Newport’s Celtic Manor Resort has just 3 of around 200 golf courses all packed into a country that measures only 60 miles from East to West and 170 miles from North to South, the South coast of which is home to some of the very finest traditional links courses in the world.
