Best golf trips in April

With so many options this time of year, from the season beginning in the UK, to temperature's being perfect in Portugal and Spain there are few things you'll need to get right. Here are some of our Golf Travel Expert's best travel tips for golf trips in April:

• Plan around Easter and bank holidays:

It is one of the busiest spring travel periods, particularly around Easter and long weekends. Booking early helps secure the best tee times, preferred resorts and convenient flight options before availability becomes limited.

• Choose the right destination for the weather:

England and the UK see courses in fantastic early-season condition, making it a great time for domestic breaks. For warmer sunshine golf, Portugal’s Algarve, southern Spain and Florida offer reliable temperatures without the peak summer heat.

• Make the most of longer daylight hours:

With the clocks changing and evenings lighter, April is ideal for fitting in extra holes, twilight rounds or relaxed post-round drinks on the terrace, perfect for maximising your time on a golf break.

• Pack for changing conditions:

For places like Lisbon or the UK, although the weather is usually good this time of year it can vary. Layered clothing and lightweight waterproofs are always a good idea.
