Why Now’s the Time to Book Your 2026 Golf Trip

It may seem early - after all, we’ve barely begun the 2025 season - but I’m already dreaming of what’s to come next year.

From championship showdowns on the biggest stages to discovering brand new fairways, 2026 promises to be a year full of memorable moments on and off the course.

As a professional golfer I know all too well that the next season always comes around sooner than you expect, so it’s the perfect time to sketch out plans for my 2026 golf calendar.

Join me as I share the tournaments I can’t wait to attend, the courses I’m eager to play, and the new venues begging to be explored.

I’m planning to play more golf next year than I have in recent years. At home, I’ll spend more time at Oslo Golf Club, Norway’s oldest and arguably best course. It’s always a joy to play there and to reconnect with the golf community back home.

During the summer, I’ll be playing along the Costa del Sol in Spain, particularly around the Marbella area. I love returning to Finca Cortesin with all the special memories I have there from the Solheim Cup.

I’ve already played a few rounds in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this year and expect to get in some rounds while I’m in the USA as well. It’s all part of my preparation for something exciting next year, something I’m really looking forward to!

I always enjoy discovering new courses, especially those that offer a mix of great design and natural beauty. I’m particularly excited about exploring more of the courses in the Sotogrande region, including some new ones on the horizon.

There are some amazing new courses that are opening over the next 12 months that I’d love to see for myself, such as:

• The Torre Course at Terras da Comporta, Portugal
• The MacLeod Course at Trump International Golf Links, Scotland
• Crownwood Golf Club, Sweden
• Old Petty at Cabot Highlands, Scotland

One thing I’ve learned is that the best experiences start long before you arrive on the first tee. By booking your golf trip early, you’ll have first pick of those dream tee times and may also have access to exclusive early-bird rates and special packages that simply aren’t available closer to travel dates. If you want to play high profile or popular courses, booking early is your best bet to guarantee a tee time and avoid disappointment.

Finally, sorting out your travel and transfers months in advance gives you the freedom to relax and enjoy every moment - there’s nothing worse than a last minute scramble. And for any golf trip, I always recommend choosing destinations that offer both quality golf and a great overall experience - good food, comfortable accommodations, and maybe even a bit of local culture. And don’t forget to factor in some downtime, balance is key!

Why Book with Your Golf Travel

For women thinking of booking a golf trip, I recommend looking for destinations that offer more than just golf.

Choose resorts or areas that provide activities off the course, so you can enjoy a well-rounded experience. Travel with a group of friends if possible - it makes the trip more fun and relaxed.

Also, don’t worry about playing to perfection, focus on enjoying the game, the views, and the moments.
