Golf Villa or Hotel, what’s best for your Golf Holiday?

No one can have missed the massive construction boom in golf holiday resort since the mid-90s.  Whilst there is variety, these golf holiday resorts all have a common theme – set within easy striking distance of the coast, with a top quality golf courses as the centrepiece (offering an oasis of green, a sense of peace and fantastic views) and offering numerous other leisure activities (swimming pools, tennis courts, football pitches, cycling paths, bars, shops and restaurants, plus a range of holiday accommodation to suit every requirement (budget golf apartments, stylish townhouses, luxury golf villas and perhaps a golf hotel). In fact, everything required to make the resort a ‘one stop’ centre for golf holidays and activity packed family holidays.

So, the resorts offer the environment and all the leisure activities you need for fantastic golf holidays, but with a range of holiday accommodation options which is best for you?

Self-catering Golf Holiday Accommodation or Hotel?

Most obviously your choice of holiday accommodation is dictated by how you intend to spend your holiday.

If your holiday routine is: get up, want breakfast, get ready, get to course by 11am ready for 11:30 tee time, finish golf at 4pm, couple of beers at the clubhouse then, quick change, out all night, bed by 1am, start again tomorrow.  Then all you need is a bed and someone presenting you with breakfast, so a cheap hotel is probably your best bet.

If on the other hand your holiday is more than that, if it’s more varied, or not so booze soaked, if you want more than a single room, the flexibility of catering for yourself, your own drinks available from your own fridge any time you want them, the ability to lay in until midday or perhaps laze by the swimming pool or have a BBQ, then you need the flexibility which can only come from renting self catering golf apartments or golf villas.

So, group of boozy golfers, probably hotel. All other holiday makers, self catering golf holiday accommodation is definitely your better choice – cheaper, more flexible, more of a ‘group’ holiday experience.

Renting Self-catering Villas for Golf Holidays

Friday, October 1st, 2010

Golf holidays come under the heading of “specialist interest”, the interest in this case being a sporting one. Sports holidays mean having fun in the sun while doing your favourite activity, with family and friends. and there’s no better way to do this than by renting a villa.

What makes the perfect golf villa? Well, location is important; your golf accommodation must be near the golf courses and associated attractions. However, there’s more to it than that. Whether you’re a club golfer who plays in serious tournaments, or a weekend hobbyist wanting to take a sunny break while improving their game, you need a place that’s a “home from home”.

Golf villas in Spain and Portugal have easy access to the links, offering the flexibility to come and go as you please. You can prepare your own meals, have a drink and a chat in the privacy and comfort of your “own home” and even extend the health benefits of your golf holiday with a daily dip in the pool – which is, of course, always open.

Villa golfing holidays allow you to arrange your schedule exactly how you want, even if there are non-golfers in the group. Golf resorts are invariably located in scenic areas, often near golden beaches, so while non-players head for the pool or beach, the others can make for the links. You can try out new and challenging courses, book private lessons, and relax in your own private hot tub or pool afterwards. Booking golf accommodation with us at Pack Your Clubs means you get the perfect tailor-made holiday.

Is Staying In Golf Villas Cheaper Than A Hotel?

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Golfing holidays can be expensive and cost is a concern for many golfers.

Golf accommodation is an important issue. As with any holiday, where you decide to stay can make a significant difference to how much you spend. A lot of golfers would like to stay in one of the many golf villas available throughout the world but assume that because these villas are private and are located near top golf courses, they will be extremely expensive. This is not necessarily true.

There are a number of golf villas located in popular golfing destinations such as Portugal, USA and Spain, all available for a range of budgets. Different factors and issues affect the cost of these properties to rent for golf holidays but the majority of these golf villas will meet high standards and will be an ideal place to stay on a golfing trip away.

If you are travelling in a large group, it can be even more cost effective because the cost of a villa can be divided between all of those staying in it.

Researching golf villas available and choosing one suitable for your party and your budget can be a much cheaper option then choosing a hotel for your golf accommodation.

We at Pack Your Clubs have a selection of impressive golf villas located throughout the world. All of our villas provide comfortable and safe places to stay and are available for a range of budgets too.

Teach The Family Your Favourite Sport

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Critics of the sport of golf have claimed that it’s not a family sport, and is often played by men escaping their daily family lives. While it’s true that some golfers do try to escape their better halves for a few hours when playing on the course, golf also offers the opportunity to take your wife and children with you for a round – especially when you combine the game with a European holiday.

Here at Pack Your Clubs we offer golf accommodation for families as well as golf players travelling alone or with friends. You can choose from golf accommodation such as small apartments or extravagant golf villas where you and your whole family can stay and enjoy the game of golf, right on the doorstep of one of the best golf courses in Europe. By booking from a range of golf villas, you can turn your golfing experience into a family holiday that you and your whole family will enjoy and remember for years to come. You might even find that your wife and children really have a love for golf that they never knew they had, and even a talent that rivals your own.

Once you’ve been on a golfing holiday with the family you could find that they really get into golf, and can provide you with new playing partners for rounds of golf when you get back home. With golf villas, golf holidays can become the perfect family holidays that everyone will enjoy, especially you.

Relax With A Golf Game

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Many people live their life at a fast pace with high powered jobs, daily commuting and responsibilities at home on top of your workload. The daily toll on your health can be devastating resulting in stress-related illnesses and exhaustion. One way to ease the feeling of stress is to take gentle exercise on a regular basis, and an ideal way to do this is by playing golf.

Walking around a golf course is very good exercise which has tremendous health benefits, improving your lung capacity as well as helping your circulation. This in turn can help reduce the risk of heart attack, high blood pressure and strokes. Taking a golfing holiday can help to improve your health, especially if combined with relaxation away from the golf course.

Many people like to get together with a group of friends and hire golf villas near to a favourite golf course and take a long weekend to relax and pamper themselves. Finding the right accommodation to suit all the party can be difficult so it is advisable to book your golf villas through a specialist company.

Here at Pack Your Clubs we have a variety of golf accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets. If you select your favourite golf course, we are able to recommend the most suitable golf villas or other accommodation nearby.

Booking a relaxing break coupled with exercise on the golf course will help you to combat stress and fatigue as well as being a great way to bond with your friends.

We charge the owners and letting agents for advertising with us so you do not have to worry about any costs involved to you. There is no joining fee, no booking fee and no commission that you need to worry about. You get the contact details of the owner or letting agent and don’t have to go through a middleman taking their cut – helping to save you money on your break.

All you need to do to see which golf villas or apartments we have close to the golf courses that you wish to spend your weekend or holiday at, is to either browse through our huge number of golf courses, or to select the area in which the golf course is situated.
