How does Golf Experience help you plan a tailor-made golf holiday?

Updated

Golf Experience (golfexperience.net) is a golf travel specialist for Spain, Portugal and Morocco that builds tailor-made golf holidays through a three-step process: choose your destination, choose your golf courses, and choose your accommodation, with the company handling the rest. It suits golfers who want a custom package rather than a fixed tour, and who value access to tee-times and negotiated green-fee rates on well-known courses.

The three-step planning model

The site frames the whole process as "Your tailor made golf holiday starts right here," broken into three choices.

Step 1: Choose your destination

You pick between Spain's Costa del Sol and Portugal, which the site describes as Europe's two most popular year-round golfing destinations. Morocco also appears in the site's holiday coverage, so it is worth raising as an option when you enquire.

Step 2: Choose your golf courses

This is where the service adds most value. The site states it holds preferential green-fee rates and access to tee-times on the courses it lists, and invites you to discuss course options with the team to assemble the right package.

  • Costa del Sol: the site notes over seventy 18-hole courses between Málaga and Gibraltar — the highest density of courses anywhere in Europe.
  • Spain highlights: Real Club Valderrama (voted Europe's No. 1 course, host of the Volvo Masters and the 1997 Ryder Cup), Zagaleta New Course (a par-70 layout opened in 2005), and Flamingos Golf Club between Marbella and Estepona.
  • Portugal highlights: Dunas Golf Comporta (a David McLay-Kidd design), Quinta da Ria and Quinta de Cima in the Algarve, and Vale do Lobo Royal, the Algarve's oldest resort course, founded in 1962.

Step 3: Choose your accommodation

Golf Experience holds tour operator contracts with all the prominent hotels on the Costa del Sol and with a selection of properties in major Spanish and Portuguese cities. Booking accommodation through the company is presented as part of the package benefit.

How to get started

  1. Decide your destination (Costa del Sol, Portugal, or ask about Morocco).
  2. Shortlist courses from the site's Spain and Portugal listings, or ask the team for recommendations based on your handicap and travel dates.
  3. Discuss the combination with Golf Experience to confirm tee-times, green fees and hotel options.
  4. Confirm the package, including accommodation booked under its tour operator contracts.

The site also offers a newsletter sign-up for updates. Current prices, specific tee-time availability and any booking or payment conditions are not stated on the page, so confirm these directly with the company when you enquire.
