Golf Destinations -Golfing Resorts and Golf Breaks in UK

when it comes to memorable and affordable golf vacations, golfers are spoilt for choice nowadays when it comes to booking online golf holidays.

When booking golf travel, golfers are no longer only faced with photographs of the Golf Resort, Golf Clubs and Golf Courses, but can actual consider golf vacations reviews from golf travelers. These Golf Travel Reviews contain uploaded golf photographs and publish positive or negative comments about the best golf courses real golfers have played, and identifying golf courses that have not come up to scratch. A number of the Golf Travel websites provide Golf Videos of the Golf Resort to make the choice of Golf Travel a lot easier and based upon a real tour of the golf facility, to include a look at Golf Hotel rooms, golfing facilities, golf academies and real golfers' reviews of golf courses.

With new Golf Destinations and Golfing Resorts emerging in nations such as Turkey, Cyprus, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia and more exotic far way places such as Bali, Bahamas, Dubai, Mexico, which have the ideal climate for playing golf, golfers do not have to settle for second best and can get a lot better value for money when making Golf Travel arrangements.

In recent years, there has been more of a swing towards the use of Golf Travel Specialists than booking through the more traditional and generalist travel agents.  This has led to a better choice of the world's best golf courses and golfers can make their Golf Travel arrangements to suit their precise needs i.e. 1 night or short golf breaks, through to 7, 10 and 14 night golf packaged holidays.

Your Golf Travel is not even limited to staying in one golf hotel or playing golf clubs which are in close proximity to the hotel. A very popular selection is golf trails where you can play several different golf courses within a particular area such as the Robert Trent Jones Golfing Trail or Murcia Golf Trail.

Another option is cruise and golf, which allows golfers to just open their cases and play some of the best golf courses when the cruise liner has docked.

There has been a GolfBreaks.com boom and competition is fierce with golf travel companies such as Your Golf Travel and Stewart Golf Travel meeting the golf travel needs of the modern day golfer. Overnight Golf Breaks can be booked in the UK for as little as £36 per person to include a stay at a 4 star golf hotel and a round of golf around some of the best golf courses.

Luxury Golf Holidays are still as popular as ever at well established Golf Resorts such as The Old Course Golf Hotel, The Fairmont St Andrews and Celtic Manor Resort, which can expect a boom on the back of the 38th Ryder Cup.

When making your Golf Trip arrangements it is best to visit independent golf websites such as GolfbloggerUK which publish Golf Travel posts and which allow real gofers to provide feedback on their experiences at these golf destinations. Some of Europe's bigger golf travel companies have went bust due to the economic climate and it is best to ensure that if you are intending on booking a golf holiday, this is booked through a reputable golf travel company and your golf trip is covered by way of golf travel insurance.

The Ryder Cup And The Open - Two Big Golf Events In The Uk In 2010

This year golfers and golf fans alike will be pleased to hear that two of the biggest tournaments in the game of golf are to be held in the UK. The Open, being held at the Old Course at St. Andrews in and the Ryder Cup, held this year at The Celtic Manor Resort in Wales. The Open is held at one of the many golf courses throughout the British Isles every year with Royal Birkdale and Turnberry being recent hosts but this year golf fans have two major events with the Ryder Cup being held on this side of the Atlantic also.

The Open
Last year's Open at Turnberry presented many challenges for golfers from all around the world, particularly the terrific performance from Tom Watson who despite being a veteran on the golfing circuit played stunning golf that went right down to the wire against eventual winner Stewart Cink.

The tournament was a closely fought battle between a number of British players and Americans Stewart Cink and Tom Watson, whilst the media had a field day with veteran flying in the face of the many younger faces in the tournament. The tournament was eventually decided on a playoff between Cink and Watson with Cink sealing the win thanks to terrific composure and determination.

This year's tournament takes place at a historic course in St. Andrews and is sure to be on par with the rollercoaster that was 2009's Open at Turnberry.

The Ryder Cup
The Ryder Cup is one of the events in the golf calendar that many non-golf fans take great interest in as it is a case of Europe taking on the Americans. Crowds at The Ryder Cup are much more rowdy and fervent in their support for their countries and seeing enemies on the course team up for the greater good of a patriotic victory adds up to an exciting mix for golf fans and casual observers alike.

Two years ago at the suitably dramatically named Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky Team USA won after three years of a Team Europe whitewash but this year it's back on European soil with The Celtic Manor in Wales. The course has been made much more viewer friendly with plenty of viewing galleries and places to see all the action.

The 2010 course has been open for play since July of 2007 and players who have sampled the course have built up the venue as a potentially exciting battleground for the golfing elite in 2010.

With these two key events in the golf year you could easily get to the event as a part of a golfing holiday or a spectator with a group of friends, playing at these courses may be difficult during the build up to any of the events as many like-minded golfers fancy their chances on the course this year.

If you want to play golf on holiday then golf travel insurance is a must, protecting your clubs against loss or damage can save you money. Save money on your golfing costs as well by taking advantage of the many 2 for 1 golf offers available for you and a friend to pay one lot of green fees.
