Countries To Visit In Europe If You Love Golf

Golfing holidays are big business with thousands of people each year heading abroad for a few relaxing rounds of golf in the sun. What could be better? For many people, the quintessential Mediterranean golfing holiday is Spain. Spanish resorts boast a number of bustling and popular golf courses not only along the Costa Brava, Costa Blanca and Costa Del Sol, but on the islands of Tenerife and Mallorca to name just two. In Spain, the sun is always shining and the sangria is always flowing. Add to that a week of golf, and you’ve got a truly heavenly combination.

Portugal, like Spain, allows you to ensure that the entire family are holiday.
