Sport themed holidays are gaining in popularity, and now there are some pretty interesting options available for golf enthusiasts to choose from. Here are six of the most interesting golf holiday options that are available right now.
Legend Golf in South Africa -
This is an 18 hole golf course located at the Legend Golf and Safari Resort, which is in South Africa. This course is unique in design, as each hole has been designed individually by a famous professional golfer. The action really heats up at the 19th hole, an Extreme bonus hole that is perched atop a monumental mountain known as Hanglip Mountain. The green is a shocking 830 meters away. This hole is luckily reachable in par 3 thanks to a vertical drop of 430 meters. This bonus hole is only accessible by way of helicopter. If you make a hole in one in this incredible 19th hole, you will receive a cool $1 million dollar prize.
Crocodile Golf in South Africa -
The Lost City Golf Course which is located at the Sun City Resort, South Africa, is known for providing a unique desert style design and also for its unique approach to the 13th green, where you will find a water hazard housing 38 crocodiles. These honorary green keepers can be found guarding the front of the green, making this a truly unique hole to behold.
Sand Golf in Dubai -
The Dubai Country Club now has two golf courses, both of which are completely free of grass. The greens are actually referred to as browns, and are comprised of compacted sand that remains true trough regular brushings. Travelling to the browns entails negotiating through bunkers and water hazards around both the Creek and Al Awir golf courses.
Ice Golf in Greenland -
The average temperature in March in Greenland will struggle to climb beyond 8.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This may not seem ideal for golf, but there is a stunning nine hole golf course carved out of the icebergs here on an island known as Uummannaq. The balls are red because the greens are white. Sure, this may sound a little bit confusing, but it is definitely one of the most extreme types of golf holidays out there.
World's Longest Golf Course in Australia -
The Nullarbor Links golf course is going to feature a single hole in each town spanning the Eyre Highway, which is 1,365 kilometers going from Kalgoorlie in the Western region of Australia to Ceduna in Southern Australia. Each hole is going to have a tee as well as a green, and will be connected by rugged outback fairways in Australian style.
Volcano Golf in Hawaii -
If you like the idea of golf with a bit of danger, then the Volcano Golf and Country Club located on the Big Island of Hawaii will absolutely appeal. This is the oldest golf course in Hawaii and it is located along the rim of the Kilauea volcano, an active volcano. The course is also in the shadow of the Mauna Loa volcano which is twice the height of the famous Mount Everest when measured from the sea floor.
World's Cheapest Golf Holiday in Hertfordshire -
Your Golf Travel recently launched the world's cheapest golf break which offers a stay at the Hertfordshire Belmont Lodge for only £9.99.
