Whichever way you look at it, golf and spas are an ideal combination. Let me present a couple of scenarios to you to demonstrate how beneficial it can be:

1) Guilt-free golf

You want to get out onto the course more, but always there’s that sense that you should be at home helping out around the house. Why not treat your other-half to a trip to a spa? That way you can escape to the course safe in the knowledge that everyone is enjoying themselves. Treat her regularly to some pampering spa treatments and never again feel guilty for taking a cheeky round after work…

2) Relax off-course / beat those golfer’s injuries

How often have you suffered from a golfer’s injury – back strain perhaps? Shoulder issues? Suffering from tired feet after going round a particularly lengthy course?

Almost every golfer I have ever met (bar the juniors) has, at some point in their golfing career, injured themselves playing golf (particularly memorable was a chap I met on a golf day who had done his back in playing the day before. He came along against his doctor’s advice and the without the approval of his wife to play on the day and had to lie down on the buggy between each shot!). Soothe away the strains of the round and relax those tense muscles with a visit to the spa afterwards. Saunas, Jacuzzi’s and steam rooms are all proven to aid with muscular issues (not to mention a good sweat rids your body of any toxins you might have acquired at the 19th hole…), swimming is a gentle way to manipulate tender joints and any good spa with experienced therapists will be able to recommend specialist treatments to help with more specific ailments. So go on – treat yourself! Your body will thank you for it.

3) Something you can both share

Kick-back with your other half and relax in a bubbling Jacuzzi, a glass of champagne in hand whilst you admire the sweeping views across the golf course, enjoying the shared experience and each other’s company… Or why not enjoy a treatment together in a double treatment room, followed by a romantic dinner in the excellent restaurants that grace these golf and spa hotels and enjoy a late glass of claret before retiring to bed….

Sound tempting? In my humble opinion, a visit to a Golf & Spa hotel is definitely better enjoyed together.

4) Putting the ‘man’ into ‘manicure

More and more spas are recognising that there is demand from gents visiting spas, and as such most offer specialist male spa treatments, and some even offer male only sections.

Find out why they’re becoming so popular – why not book a spa and golf break for yourself.
