Whether you’re chasing a birdie or a massage, our expert team curates bespoke packages at over 3,500 destinations worldwide.
We understand that a great trip is about more than just the scorecard, it’s about the memories made at dinner, the relaxation found poolside and the thrill of exploring new places together.
Partners of a golfer should focus on resorts offering extensive non-golf activities like spas, water parks, fine dining, cultural tours or nature adventures, with popular destinations including Spain, Turkey, Cyprus and Scotland.
Activities for Non-Golfers
• Relaxation: Spas, pools, beaches, fine dining.
• Sports: Tennis, high ropes, archery, horse riding, water parks.
• Family Fun: Kids' clubs, family-friendly courses for beginners.
• Culture & Sightseeing: Historic castles, distillery tours, nature reserves, local markets.
How to Choose
• Research nearby towns for day trips if the resort is more golf-focused.
• Look for resorts that offer activities for golfers & non-golfers or family-friendly options.
Finding the perfect holiday is all about balance. While the golfers are dreaming of perfectly manicured fairways and the thrill of the 18th hole, you deserve a getaway that caters to your own tastes, literally. At Your Golf Travel, we understand that a truly exceptional trip happens both on and off the course.
Experience the world’s most prestigious resorts where world-class golf is matched only by award-winning gastronomy. From sun-drenched terraces serving fresh Mediterranean delicacies to historic estates boasting Michelin-starred mastery, these destinations ensure that the "19th hole" is the highlight of everyone's day.
