Best Golf Holidays for Singles Over 50

Sometimes all you really want to do is get away to some sunshine and just play endless rounds of golf. Whether that’s to get some much needed practice or simply for some relaxation, going abroad to play golf as a single player often has less fuss, stress and cheaper than going in a group. There’s no need to worry about keeping everyone happy with tee-times, accommodation is easier to find and sometimes some peace and quiet is just what your round needs.

So in a bid to help those looking for a golf holiday on their own and in the over 50s age bracket, we’ve compiled some of our favourite destinations that boast luscious greens and plenty of things to do when you’re not on the fairway (or in the bunker!).
