Golf has always rewarded those who look beyond the familiar. The courses that stay with you longest are rarely the ones you expected to play – they are the ones that surprised you, that asked something different of your game, and that sat inside a place worth travelling to for reasons that had nothing to do with a scorecard. This guide covers five destinations that earn their place on that list. Spain needs no introduction, but it still has things to show you. Croatia and Georgia are making a case that the rest of the golfing world is only beginning to hear. Scotland’s Aberdeenshire coast now has 36 holes that belong in any conversation about the world’s best links golf. And Shura Links in Saudi Arabia is something else entirely – a course that didn’t exist two years ago and already has no real equivalent. Five destinations. Every round worth the flight. Enjoy the travel guide.
