subject: Important Things To Think About When Organising A Golf Break In Spain [print this page] Over the months I have collated numerous tips that I find essential when planning my forthcoming golf breaks in Spain with family and friends, a few of which Ive shared with you in this article.
Ensure there is a range of activities for your non golfing colleague to do whilst you are out on the course. If you are going to enjoy a week of relaxed golf you need to know that you partner is also having a swell time. If the lady in your life enjoys to be pampered, why not ensure that you choose a golf destination with some spa facilities or failing that, one with a public spa in the vicinity. For the golfing girls; if you like to golf whilst him in doors does other things, you are advised to choose a resort close to a town or other amusements.
Preview the quality of the putting greens. When you play underneath glorious sunshine, there is no better feeling than to stroll on soft, well kept putting greens the difference between the blue sky and green grass is breathtaking. Always plan in advance and enquire about the standard of the green keeper at your chosen resort. And remember, to be considerate on the greens by fixing any marks created by your golf ball.
Make sure the fairways match your golfing style. You could be in for a hard break if the fairways on your selected course are too tricky for your ability resulting in you spend most of your days in the water, or out of bounds. On the other side of the coin, if the fairways open to you are open and easy to hit, you may find yourself ending your tour with the feeling that you have not been challenged enough. So make sure pick a resort that meets your level of play.
Plan ahead if you wish to hire equipment such as clubs, trolleys or buggys. What could be worse than going on a golfing holiday without your irons with the intension that you will loan some when you get there only to find that the only woods available are for a left handed golfer? Ensure that you pre-order all hire equipment and if possible get a photo of the standard.
Consider the weather conditions . There are many potential destinations for your golf break, in Europe and also around the globe, be prepared to goto the correct place at the correct time of year. Investigate the local climate for the time that you aim to travel and pack your kit accordingly. Remember your sun cap for sunny European destinations like Spain and Portugal. Whilst on the other hand its often essential to take rain coats and a brolly for visits to Scotland.
Make sure that there will be a number of courses to choose from. If you are at your resort for more than a couple of days, you will most likely want to fit in several rounds of golf. By choosing a resort with just one course you may find your party getting bored of the same old holes. If you choose a course with many courses will allow you the possibility to test your putting shots on a variety of holes.
