Algarve Golf Holiday Review

Having travelled to the Algarve on holiday with my girlfriend in the summer of 2003, the seeds for our short golf trip were sewn. It was on that first holiday, having hired a car to see as much as possible that it became obvious this was an area that offered so much to so many, especially golfers.

Fast forward nearly three years and we were on our way to Vilamoura in our recently hired minibus. The four of us, having arrived on our early flights from Dublin, were fresh with anticipation of what the golf courses (and maybe the night life) would throw at us.

US Masters and Georgia Golf Holiday Review

All golfing holidays should involve St Andrews – if not really then during their design.

It’s a difficult feat when trying to achieve a balance between quality and value, or at least that is the initial thought before you discover the wealth of golfing opportunity that awaits you within this Spanish region.

Golf holiday review from Australia to Las Vegas

For a year after I finished University I was lucky enough to have  the opportunity to travel the world, with my golf clubs and a backpack, and experience different countries,  lifestyles, cultures and golf courses.
Having spent two months in south-east Asia, travelling but playing little golf, I arrived in Perth, where, through a family connection, I was able to find a job working on the number one ranked course in Western Australia, The Cut.  I had heard good reports about the course, but Read more
