Travel tips for golf holidays in July
With July being one of the most popular months for golf travel, planning ahead is key. Here are some of our Golf Travel Experts’ top tips for a July golf break:

July is high season across much of Europe. Championship courses, resort tee times and premium hotels fill quickly, so securing your trip in advance ensures the best choice and value.
- Embrace early tee times
Southern Europe can be hot in July, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C. Early morning or twilight rounds offer more comfortable playing conditions and a relaxed pace.
- Take advantage of extended daylight
In the UK, Ireland and Northern Europe, long summer evenings mean you can enjoy unhurried 18-hole rounds, or even squeeze in 36 holes in a day.
- Combine golf with summer experiences
July is perfect for pairing golf with beach time, wine tours, city breaks or major sporting events, giving your trip a true summer holiday feel.
