Looking for the couples golf holiday of a lifetime? It's difficult to know where great golf options and all the amenities for a romantic getaway are under one roof.

Our handy guide gives a breakdown of some of the leading golf resorts in the world, from home soil to the UAE, that will ensure love is in the air on your golf holiday.

The Gleneagles Resort (Scotland)

Known as the 'Palace in the Glens' and often described as a 'Riviera in the Highlands', Gleneagles offers an unbeatable array of attractions including the four incredible golf courses. The PGA Centenary course hosted the Ryder Cup in 2014, but that is not to say that the Queen’s, King’s and PGA National Academy courses aren’t worthy of a round. All of these courses offer great natural beauty, with sweeping vistas of the surrounding countryside. From tennis to shooting, riding to falconry, this a great romantic getaway in Scotland for the adventurous couple.

Bovey Castle Hotel (England)

In the heart of Dartmoor National Park, Devon, Bovey Castle is a Five Red Star hotel resting in 275-acres of stunning countryside and rolling valleys. Boasting an Elan Spa and an award-winning 18-hole championship course, this luxury castle hotel is the perfect place for a peaceful, romantic golfing getaway. Described as an 'experience of golf, never to be forgotten', this JF Abercromby design was created to rival its sister courses at Gleneagles and Turnberry. Meandering through the hotel estate, surrounded by idyllic landscape, we can’t think of many places better in the South West of England to play golf.

The Inn at Spanish Bay, Pebble Beach (USA)

For many golfers, playing golf in the USA is high on their bucket list, so where better to take your other half than to the world’s most famous golf resort – Pebble Beach®. The Inn at Spanish Bay™ is part of this resort and is nestled among the majestic Monterey pines. The golf courses here need no introduction and follow a traditional Scottish links style. Another Scottish tradition at The Inn at Spanish Bay is the famed bagpiper, who stands out on the terrace every evening and puts the golf course to sleep.
