Golf holiday's - in the sun

[m1975]

Hi all, now I know there are endless posts on holidays but just wanted some feedback on holidays in the sun.
A group of 16 of us usually, handicaps from 5-24. Want good courses but also sun on our backs and reasonable nightlife.

We've been to Vilamoura and also Marbella. Having seen the escalating prices we have stayed in UK for the last 4 years and been plagued with the wet stuff. This year we've been to le touquet, great trip and the weather was kind, we've all now decided having had decent weather this year, we're going to spend a bit more next year to try and guarentee the weather, say £5-600 and fly to southern europe in search of a short wearing climate - ps we normally go late May.

Any suggestions - especially any away from the regular haunts of southern portugal and spain?

I went to Desert Springs earlier in the year and thoroughly enjoyed it - ticks all the boxes your asking for and more. The practice facilities were amazing.

I wrote a review at the time - http://forums.golf-monthly.co.uk/sh...gs-Golf-Resort-Spain&highlight=desert+springs

Look no further than belek in turkey. Beautiful courses. About 10-12 to choose from, amazing hotels too.

A group of us went to benidorm last year, played 4 courses and they were quality. Short flight and the nightlife as u may have heard is outstanding

We used this company http://benidormgolf.com/ can't speak of them highly enough

I don't think going to Turkey is the best idea just now. Until you want to stay in hotel and close by course only...

I've been to turkey loads of times, and doubt very much if you will get it for 5-600 quid in late may, we usually go early may and its usually around a grand. Also althought the hotels are stunning and cater for everything, that's all there is....the hotel. Theres a very small villiage but a ghost town. There's no nightlife like vilamoura or in the costa del sol. There is nothing to do outside the hotel.

Thanks for comments, heard good things about turkey golf but that you are restricted to hotel at night in the main

I meant its not a good time to go to Turkey just now due to political situation over there

Turkey...........TURKEY..........does anyone watch the news


La Cala or USA

High desert in Oregon is simply stunning and a gauranteed 25* with no humidity and outstanding courses and service

La Cala Spain. 3 courses of the highest order, The Amercia's, The Asia, and the Europe good hotel on site with the added extra of being able to go to the local towns for nightlife etc. Turkey is good but nothing available outside the hotels. We are going to try Ireland next year..... If the budget and time allows then good deals in the US and SA are out there for larger groups. Time in a plane suggests careful thought but SA is only a couple of hours time difference and you fly at night. We have just come back from Le Touquet and yes it was v good. Let us know how you get on.

Only two or three courses, but Madeira could be worth a look. I played twice near Funchal and loved it.
