We’re now in the midst of the golf season – and doesn’t it feel grand? Hopefully you have already enjoyed many fabulous trips to your favourite course and have been taking full advantage of the springtime conditions and brighter days. It really does make a difference to both mind and body.
You may be at the point when you are thinking of enjoying a few highlights over the coming weeks and months. And we don’t blame you – this game offers the ultimate escapism. There is one option to ponder that would make this a season to remember fondly – you could embark on a golf break or two.
Our travel partners Golfbreaks are encouraging golfers everywhere to Make it Happen this year – and one way to follow that mantra is by visiting a destination that you’ve long wished to experience.
But what are your possibilities throughout May and June (and later in the summer) for those who are feeling somewhat impulsive and want to continue riding the crest of that early season wave in style?
Let’s take a glance at what venues are out there just waiting for you to book today.
UK & Ireland Last-Minute Offers
Golf breaks don’t have to be expensive or time-consuming. You could stay at somewhere in the UK and Ireland for one night and take in a couple rounds during your stay. Sometimes that’s all you need to satisfy your craving for a trip on the road.
Venues you can pick from as part of these superb packages include the likes of Forest Pines, Old Thorns, Forest of Arden, Celtic Manor, The Oxfordshire and The K Club.
This is a perfect option for those golfing enthusiasts who don’t have the opportunity to spend numerous days away from home.
