The popularity of golf holidays always increases during a Ryder Cup year, especially when the tournament is to be held in Europe. This year sees the Ryder Cup arrive in South Wales for the first time in its history, and before the tournament starts in the Autumn, golf enthusiasts throughout the UK will be looking to get some extra time on the course over the summer.

With that in mind, what better way to spend your summer than on a golfing holiday on one of Europe’s best courses, enjoying the warm weather and beautiful scenery that you can only experience on a European golf course? When you’re going on a golf holiday, one of things that is of the utmost important is the golf accommodation. You don’t want to be too far away from the course, and have to trek miles before you reach the first tee or the driving range. With us at Pack Your Clubs, you can book golf course accommodation as near to the golf course of your choice as possible, meaning you’re never far away from the action and you can grab a quick round of golf whenever the mood takes you – which will probably be quite often.

Your golf accommodation can be as luxurious as you wish too, with golf villas available for you to take the whole family, or some of your fellow golf enthusiasts. There are also golf apartments available for you to store your clubs and plan your next round on the course.

When you decide to book your first golfing holiday, there is a plethora of options open to you. Many people prefer to avoid package holidays or nearby hotels as these can be too restrictive; instead you should choose the golf accommodation individually so it can be as close or as far away from the course as you wish and be suited precisely to how you want it.

To select the right golf course and then golf accommodation, you should look for unbiased information from a reputable company that covers several countries – or your chosen country in-depth.

Once you have decided on the country and the individual golf course, then it is time to choose the golf apartment or villa itself. For an individual or a couple, a golf apartment is often sufficient but a family may find this too restrictive. Golf villas mean you have more flexibility and more amenities for those who perhaps are not as enthusiastic about the sport as yourself.

The top things to look for when choosing golf accommodation are the locality to the actual golf course itself, the size of the apartment or villa and its own amenities. You should also check precisely how far away other local amenities are, for instance if you should fancy a restaurant meal you might prefer to take a taxi rather than drive.

At Pack Your Clubs, we offer golf accommodation, villas and apartments to suit any size of party and preferences with a great choice across Europe and the USA. We also offer unbiased, helpful information to allow you to make an informed choice on the golf courses as well as the golf accommodation itself.

If you’re considering what to do for your next holiday, you may have a couple of things in mind. Should you spend a week sunning yourself on an overcrowded, noisy beach at a resort whilst trying to find things to occupy your children? Should you go sightseeing on a city break, and end up just as exhausted as you were before you left? If you’re thinking of a relaxing holiday with every amenity to hand, you may not have considered a golfing break.

At Pack Your Clubs, we have up to date information on over 20,000 golf courses in places such as the Costa del Sol, the Algarve and Cyprus, including reviews from fellow golfers. If you’re after a shorter golfing break with your partner with the emphasis on celebrating your round at the 19th hole at the end of a long day, we can recommend many golf apartments which give you the freedom to come and go as you please. If you intend to improve your game and golf as much as you can, we have lots of golf course accommodation which will enable you to get as much time on the course as possible.

You may wish to take a golfing break with your family and friends and introduce them to the pleasures of the sport; you may not want to spend your nights unwinding at bars or nightclubs. There is plenty of golf course accommodation to choose from, including golf villas, which will enable you to relax and entertain your friends and family.

Booking a holiday that will suit everyone’s tastes and expectations is a mammoth task, and one that is practically impossible to achieve. You will undoubtedly have someone in your party that wants to lounge by the pool, another who prefers the beach and at least one group member that likes to be active by taking part in a sport – playing golf, for instance. Selecting a villa which is situated close to a beach and a golf course is the ideal solution, but knowing where to start looking is a task in itself.

There are many holiday resorts that have golf courses included on their premises, but they are not always up to a high standard. This can result in disappointment, which can have a negative impact on the rest of your holiday. The same can also be said about villas and apartments; the standards can be rather disappointing. However, there are companies who can organise holidays that offer golf accommodation specifically, but are usually situated in the busiest resorts which may not suit the entire the holiday party.

The wisest option would be to let someone who has played on a particular golf course and has stayed in golf course accommodation nearby recommend an option that would suit you all. Here at PackYourClubs.com we are run by golfers who know just what you are looking for, as well as accommodation that is selected for its location and exceptional standards. We have golf villas and golf apartments that will suit all the members of your group.
