Golf is a slow boring game for many but why leisure travelers love it so much is because of the relaxing mood it introduces and the therapeutic feeling associated with swinging every single ball into the hole. Golf resorts are designed to be challenging and also relaxing; an amazing view and architecture is everything a golfer needs to succeed and these five resorts the world over are the best to visit this 2017.
Scotland is one of golf's comfortable homes with a huge population of golfers needing a habitat for their hobbies. Greywalls Hotel & Chez Roux in East Lothian's Gullane appears like an Edwardian-era castle and no golf course of its own -- because travelers can choose from the 22 golf courses within 10 miles of the hotel. According to The Telegraph UK, there is more than just golf in the area -- tennis, skeet shooting and bike trails are all over.
The Royal County Down golf course is housed within the Slieve Donard Hotel in Northern Ireland's Newcastle. It may look like a structure straight out of "Harry Potter" and travelers might expect some wizards and witches to come out soon; and indeed, they will as the Championship Links only offers the best golf wizards and witches there are in its majestic beautiful course.
In Australia is the Barnbougle Dunes in Waterhouse Road in Tasmania. The Australian outback offers amazing beauty while golfers shred away at each other in its majestically beautiful and taunting 18-hole golf course. Do not be alarmed by the "Dunes" in its name -- the 200-acre course is an amazing test of skill and beauty while offering top-notch spas, an amazing buffet complete with a great selection of wine.
The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Canada is notable for a great many amenities aside from golf. After a great game in a golf course where the mountains and trees are watching players, mineral baths are a truly relaxing treat. Top it all off with an amazing dinner and clubhouse meal selection and it is truly a heaven on Earth for golfers.
According to Gayot, the golf resort that truly deserves five stars is the Four Seasons Resort in Hawaii's Kaupulehu Drive. PGA Golf Star Jack Nicklaus himself had designed the Hualalai Golf Course that showcases more than just a seaside golf course -- it also has an amazing cultural center featuring Hawaiian cultural practices, trades and memorabilia and wellness centers.
