Best Times of Year for Destination Golf

Timing can save the trip

Weather, maintenance schedules, daylight, and local demand all shape destination golf. A cheaper week can be brilliant, but not if the greens were just aerated or the afternoon wind is brutal every day.

Ask before booking

• Are any greens or fairways under scheduled work?
• What is the usual wind or rain pattern?
• Are mornings worth the premium?
• Does twilight leave enough daylight for your group?

Travel buffer

Avoid making the showcase round your first activity after a late arrival. Tired swings rarely appreciate expensive scenery.
