Golfers have always looked forward to golf a little bit during their holidays but golfing holidays is a relatively new concept which is fast catching up with golfers around the globe. Golf is an extremely relaxing sport and a golfing holiday is a golfer’s dream come true. One can enjoy golfing holidays in many parts of the world including Europe. A European holiday comprising only of golf is possible in many European countries like Spain, Canary Islands, Portugal, Cyprus, France or Italy.

While on a golfing holiday it does not make a lot of sense staying far away from the golf course, it is best to live near a golf course. One can live in a hotel or a self catering cottage or holiday home near a golf course so that one does not waste any time traveling to the golf course. Holiday homes are available in most European countries and special holiday homes close to golf courses are also available for golfing holidays. Golf being an outdoor sport gives one enough fresh air and exercise to rejuvenate oneself.;

A golfing holiday in Spain is a splendid idea as one can get a lot of sun and sea in the bargain as well. While in Spain one can enjoy refreshing summer cocktails in the evening and cooling drinks after a game of golf as well. There are many holiday homes in Spain that offer bed and breakfasts to their guests so one can experience living in a Spanish villa, explore the beautiful landscapes of France and enjoy a golfing holiday. If you are planning to spend a relaxing golfing holiday in Spain choose a holiday home, and try to find one with an amazing view of the mountains or shorelines.

Portugal is a great place for a family holiday as well as a golfing holiday. Portugal gives one a variety of options. One can live in an apartment on the Lisbon coast and have fun playing golf and enjoy the fast paced life of Lisbon or one can choose to rent one of the many self catering cottages in the countryside and enjoy the serenity of the nature and a game of golf.

If you like a game of golf and at the same time crave for good food, good wine and a bit of luxury, France or Italy is the ideal place for your Golfing holiday in Europe. You can enjoy fine dining and wine with your game of golf while living in a French villa or Chateaux. The only place which can rival France in terms of culture, heritage, great food and wine is Italy. You can enjoy golfing on one hand and enjoy the culinary delights of the country on the other hand.

While there is nothing like having a long golfing vacation stretching for a couple of weeks, few have the time for such luxury. Weekend golfing holidays are a great way to unwind as well and one can get great deals on accommodation during the off season.
