There are top courses scattered all across the European continent, although in our opinion particular highlights include; the outstanding European Tour venue Stadium Course at PGA Catalunya in Spain and the extraordinary courses of Monte Rei and Quinta do Lago in the Portuguese Algarve region.
Others not to be missed include the magnificent Fontainebleau Course set in the idyllic Fontainebleau forest of France, and the increasingly popular Gary Player-designed course at Thracian Cliffs in Bulgaria.
The beautiful former Ryder Cup venue Valderrama in Spain and the up-and-coming Carya Golf Club in Turkey are also worthy of recognition as some of the best in Europe.
