Golf is a leisurely activity enjoyed by millions. There is nothing quite like hitting the links and playing a full 18 holes. You get a good amount of exercise while enjoying the outdoors and smacking that little white ball all over the place. You don’t have to be good at golf to enjoy it. All you need is your clubs and a few balls and your set for a wonderful day playing one of the finest games in the entire world. But if you play a lot of golf then you’re probably getting tired of playing on the same old course over and over again. You get stuck behind the same twosome that takes fifteen minutes between shots and they still haven’t fixed the divets on the green that have been there for what seems like years now. Well, that means it is time to venture out to a new golf course and if you’re going to do that then don’t slum it at some sub-par golf course on your vacation. You want to make this golf trip a memorable one. Our golf experts came together and made a list of the finest golf courses in the world so you can hit the links in style.

 

 Laucala, Fiji
This course resides on the private island of Laucala in Fiji. This may be a bit expensive but oh man is it worth it.

Once you land you can hop out and head straight to the unbelievable course that has the glorious volcanic mountains, coconut plantations and of course breath-taking cliffs as your surroundings. After your round of golf head on over to one of the 24 villas and then take part in some of the many activities available to you when you stay on a private island. The food is fantastic and the golf is even better.

 

 

The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs, Colorado
This course is where Jack Nicklaus won his first major all the way back in 1959. So if you want to see a small piece of history then head on out to Colorado Springs. This place can keep you entertained for a long time thanks to the three spectacular courses so if playing 18-holes just isn’t enough for you then try 54 holes. The rooms here are also pretty nice, and you can hit the spa or one of the 10 delectable restaurants. There are over 784 rooms so don’t be afraid to invite some friends.

 

 

Terre Blanche, Provence Côte d’Azur, France
Southern France is already beautiful so you could guess that the golf courses around here are not too shabby. The Terre Blanche is where you can find two unbelievable golf courses known as Le Châteay and Le Riou. The golf here is well documented and is fantastic for beginners or experts. The resort to is absolutely fantastic. You will be amongst the beautiful forest, waterfalls, and lakes that make up most of this region and the 115 suites are enough to leave you thoroughly content.

Royal Wedding Locations You Need To Visit

Many of the locations of famous royal weddings are open to the public. Here are five of them you simply have to see.

Published

on

With the upcoming wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, royal weddings seem to be the only thing people can talk about these days. And while it’s a little out of control, we’re not complaining! There’s just something about the extravagance and pageantry of it all that is undeniably fascinating. But for the longest time, I always assume it was something so completely out of reach that I would never be able to experience even the slightest bit of what being at a royal wedding is like.

Well, I was wrong! You can actually visit many of the locations where royal weddings have happened over the years. Here are just five of them. I know I’m going to try and see at least a couple of these before I die!

YORK MINSTER

This stunning cathedral is, of course, located in York, England. It was the home to two royal weddings. First, in 1328, King Edward II married Philippa of Hainault, making her his Queen. Then, in 1961, Edward, Duke of Kent married his love, Katharine Worsley. Also, the city of York is really something to be seen. So this is a great location if you’re looking for a proper England experience with a little royal flavor.

THE ISLE OF WIGHT

This island getaway off the coast of Southampton was actually home to two royal weddings. The Osborn House is on the Isle of Wight, which was once the vacation home of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria. Their second daughter, Princess Alice, was married right there at the house. While her little sister, Princess Beatrice, was actually married at the Church of St. Mildred at Whippingham, which is just a short trip away from the Osborn House.

WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL

The Winchester Cathedral in Hampshire was also home to two different royal weddings. First, in 1403, King Henry IV of England married his second wife, Joanna of Navarre at the Cathedral. Then, in 1554, Mary I married King Philip II of Spain. Mary I was famously the first woman to rule England and her marriage to King Philip was famously an unpleasant one. So This is a great place to eat up a little royal history!

HAMPTON COURT

This truly gorgeous property was long-owned by the one and only Henry VIII. Yes, the Henry VIII that was married not four, not five, but six times. In fact, his sixth and final wedding took place at Hampton Court. He married Katherine Parr there in 1543. The Court is still kept in immaculate condition and is definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.

CANTERBURY

Canterbury is a perfectly quaint and charming English town. It was here, in 1625, that King Charles I married Henrietta Maria of France. Their marriage was famous for Henrietta’s loyalty to King Charles after a civil war broke out during his reign. She stayed loyal to him even after the civil war resulted in the execution of her husband and her king. A regular Romeo and Juliet over here!

 

And those are just a few of the amazing a beautiful locations that have hosted royal weddings. But there are plenty more to be seen if you’d like to do some more homework. I’m just trying to get you started! The rest is up to you.
