Best family golf resorts

What better way to enjoy a golf holiday than with your nearest and dearest? With the sport continuing to grow, there’s every chance that you’re not the only golfer in the family.

So, whether you’re travelling abroad or staying closer to home, why not pack your collective bags and head to one of our best family-friendly golf resorts? Here are some of our favourites, combining great golf, unrivalled facilities, and plenty of fun for the family.

• Old Thorns • Celtic Manor • Belton Woods • Penina Hotel & Golf Resort • Sueno Hotels Deluxe Belek • Dona Filipa Hotel & Golf Resort • Iberostar Royal Andalus • Macdonald Dona Lola • Iberostar Bouganville Playa • Casa de Campo Resort

With a wide choice of accommodation options, the Celtic Manor has long been a hugely popular choice for our guests. Whether you want to stay in one of the larger family rooms in the hotel, or in the Hunter Lodges that overlook the Twenty Ten Course, there are rooms and suites to suit families of all sizes.

Just five-minutes down the road you’ll also find the Coldra Court Hotel, another superb option for golfers, particularly those looking to maximise value from their trip! There’s three courses to choose from, the aforementioned Twenty Ten, as well as the Montgomerie and the Roman Road – with all three layouts ranked highly by our customers.

Belton Woods is home to two championship golf courses and is based at a central location (in Lincolnshire) that’s easily accessible from across England. We love The Claret Jug bar for a debrief, with its beautiful views looking out over the golf course.

There are also loads of on-site activities for the whole family to get involved with; from mountain biking to Segways, tennis courts, and so much more. We’ve got some great three-night packages which are perfect for those looking to really make the most of their time here.

Close to Faro Airport, one of Europe's most convenient golfing travel hubs, Dona Filipa is another five-star hotel that boasts stunning views across Vale do Lobo beach and the bright blue ocean. There’s a choice of restaurants to choose from, in addition to 154 high-quality rooms and suites, which make it the perfect hotel for groups and families of any size.

The Iberostar Royal Andalus hotel enjoys enviable access to the two Seve Ballesteros-designed courses at Real Novo Sancti Petri Golf Club. For those that really want to make the most of their time on the course we also have packages available with an unlimited golf pass, helping to create a break to Spain with tremendous value. The Barrosa Beach is the perfect place to kick back after a round, as well as separate adult-only and kids pools, ideal for families of every age.

We’ve saved potentially our most luxurious family golf offerings for last! Casa de Campo Resort & Villas is the jewel in the crown of the Dominican Republic, and home to the notorious ‘Teeth of The Dog’ layout – one of Pete Dye’s most highly ranked courses on the planet.

The five-star hotel is part of the lauded ‘Leading Hotels of The World’ group, due to its consistent quality in all areas. However, families and larger groups might want to consider some of the resort’s standalone villas and suites. These come with added perks, with some even having their own chef attached to the villa – allowing your group to enjoy personalised cuisine throughout your stay, perhaps by your own private swimming pool!
