Resorts in Europe by Leadingcourses 2023

In cooperation with Leading courses we bring you a special category. The list has become a reference source for the golfers in Europe looking for a great golf trip or golf break. 

Since 2016 Leading Courses has published a ranking for the Best Golf Resorts in Europe every year (except in 2021 due to COVID-19). The Best Golf Resort ranking has always sparked the interest of our community and other golfers alike, as it inspires them and helps them discover great (new) golf resorts! We use our own review data for golf courses (50%) and our hotel partner Booking.com's reviews (50%) to provide a comprehensive list of the Best Golf Resorts in Europe.

It does not matter whether you have stayed at the resort in question. If you have played more than one course in the same resort, they all count towards your TOP 100 score. Therefore, the final number may be higher than 100.
