Portugal

Whether you're visiting the golf coastline near Lisbon or heading south to the majesty of the Algarve, Portugal is one of the brightest jewels for golfers who desire year-round sunshine played on courses that are immaculately presented while staying in superb, luxury accommodation.

Turkey

Arguably the capital of all-inclusive golf holidays, Turkey, and specifically the Belek coastline, continues to grow in popularity, and with an average high temperature of 16 degrees and extended daylight, this is a comfortable environment to enjoy during wintertime.

But if you want to play into the evening, then night golf is a thing under the floodlights at either the Montgomerie Maxx Royal Golf Course or Carya Golf Club!

Canary Islands

It almost sounds too good to be true, but the Canary Islands are only four hours away, have no time difference from the UK, and boast an average temperature of 21 degrees, which makes it the smoothest of destinations to engage with.

Whether it's Tenerife, Fuerteventura, or Gran Canaria, there are also some wonderful courses to play this winter.
