  • March–May: Spring blooms and perfect temps
  • September–November: Still warm but quieter

No rain delays, no cold winds – just sun, sea, and your next birdie.

Golf Holiday Planning Tips for First-Time Travelers

Everything You Need to Know Before Booking Your First Golf Trip Abroad

Planning your first golf holiday can be both exciting and overwhelming — from choosing the right destination to packing the right gear and making sure your tee times are locked in. If you're new to international golf travel, don't worry — we've got you covered!

Here are our top tips to help you plan a smooth and stress-free golf getaway.

  1.  Pick the Right Destination

Start by choosing a location that suits your experience level and travel goals. For first-timers, destinations like Belek (Turkey) are ideal because they combine:

  • Multiple golf courses in one area
  • 5-star all-inclusive resorts
  • Warm climate and direct flights
  • Great value for money

Other beginner-friendly golf destinations:
Portugal (Algarve), Spain (Costa del Sol), Morocco, and Dubai.

  1. Book Early — Especially Tee Times!

Golf holidays get booked up quickly, especially in spring and autumn. Plan your trip at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if:

  • You're traveling as a group
  • You want specific tee times or golf courses
  • You're traveling during peak season

Pro Tip: Use a golf tour operator to secure tee times — many courses don’t offer online booking or may prioritize local guests.

  1. Pack Smart – Golf Travel Essentials

Beyond your clubs, make sure to pack:

  • Comfortable golf shoes
  • A waterproof layer (just in case)
  • Sunscreen & cap
  • Golf gloves & extra balls
  • Travel adapter (if going outside your region)
  • A soft or hard-shell travel golf bag

Not sure about renting vs. bringing your clubs? Most destinations offer high-quality rentals, but frequent players usually prefer their own set.

  1. Stay Close to the Course

Choose a resort that’s either on-site or very close to the golf course. This saves you transport stress and allows for:

  • Easy access to early tee times
  • Quick breaks between rounds
  • More time to relax post-game

Some hotels like Cullinan Belek, Gloria Serenity, or Titanic Deluxe Golf Belek even offer golf buggies directly from your room to the course!

  1. Don’t Forget Transfers

Make sure airport transfers and daily golf transfers (if needed) are included in your package. Some destinations have multiple courses spread out, so:

  • Check driving distances in advance
  • Ask your provider about shuttle services
  • Or opt for golf resorts with on-site courses
  1. All-Inclusive or Half Board?

First-timers often appreciate all-inclusive resorts, especially in places like Turkey. Why?

  • All meals and drinks included
  • Less to worry about on arrival
  • No need to calculate daily expenses

But in some European destinations (like Portugal or Spain), half-board or B&B might offer better flexibility to explore local restaurants.

  1. Check Dress Codes & Local Rules

Different courses have different etiquette. Before you travel:

  • Confirm dress codes (collared shirts, no denim, etc.)
  • Ask if handicap certificates are required
  • Learn local tipping customs
  • Check if soft spikes are mandatory
  1. Plan for Rest Days

Don’t overdo it. Mix in:

  • 1 rest day between rounds
  • Spa time, sightseeing, or beach lounging
  • Short 9-hole sessions instead of full 18 every day

Remember: it’s a holiday, not a tournament!

Whether it’s just you and a buddy or a full golf group, planning your first trip can be simple with the right guidance.

At VS Golf Holidays, we help first-time travelers plan tailor-made, stress-free golf holidays to Turkey and beyond — from airport transfers and tee times to the best resort options.
