The Most Beautiful Golf Courses in the World 

Whether you’re an avid golfer or simply accompanying one for the thrill of adventure, our 18-day Golf Around the World by luxury private jet expedition, in partnership with Kalos Golf, offers an unparalleled journey to five fascinating destinations boasting some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world—from the modern metropolises of Singapore and Dubai, United Arab Emirates to Spain’s sun-drenched Costa Del Sol.

Best Golf Courses in

Sydney, Australia

Begin your golfing adventure in the land down under, playing at two Alister MacKenzie gems in Sydney. The Australian Golf Club, founded in 1882, is a private, by-member-invitation course and the country’s oldest golf club. Jack Nicklaus, who redesigned the course in 1976, won three of his six Australian Open victories at this championship venue—and this exquisitely conditioned parkland jewel recently hosted its twenty-third Australian Open in 2023. The New South Wales Golf Club, on the shores of dazzling Botany Bay, is ranked #4 in Australia and #14 in the world by Golf Digest. Enjoy stunning sea views and a challenge from tee to green on every hole, with tight lies and elevation changes throughout.

Off the greens, take a private tour of the Sydney Opera House for an intimate look into this iconic performing arts landmark. Then, ferry over to Sydney’s award-winning zoo for exclusive encounters with Australia’s native wildlife, from koalas to emus to kangaroos. Complete the evening with a sunset cocktail cruise through spectacular Sydney Harbour.

Best Golf Courses in

Singapore

Travel to the modern city-state of Singapore, at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, to play the country’s top two ranked courses. The Tanjong Course underwent a significant transformation in 2016, creating longer holes and smaller greens, and is widely known as one of the finest golf courses in Asia. Currently ranked #55 in the world by Golf Digest, the Serapong Course has a long-established reputation among the world’s greatest golfers. Enjoy a challenging game, navigating its mounds, lakes, bunker complexes and slick greens.

After your round of golf, taste local culture with a hands-on chef-led cooking class, transforming fresh local ingredients into authentic Singaporean cuisine. Then, hop on a vintage Vespa sidecar and explore the city’s vibrant arts and culture and modern architecture in style.

Best Golf Courses in

Phuket, Thailand

Play Phuket’s Red Mountain Golf Club and Blue Canyon Country Club for unique settings comprising undulating terrain and jungle topography. At Red Mountain in central Phuket, enjoy fairways that wind through the site of an old tin mine, as well as dramatic rocky escarpments, thrilling elevation changes, deep ravines and the signature 17th hole, best known for its green that sits 150 feet below the tee box. In northern Phuket, Blue Canyon is famous for its 13th “Tiger Hole,” named after Tiger Woods, who hit a 270-yard drive, stopping it on the green to win a playoff against Ernie Els.

Exclusive adventures off the golf course include visiting a wildlife sanctuary to learn about Thailand’s elephant rescue and rehabilitation efforts and exploring the beauty of Phuket Old Town on a private cultural tour.

Best Golf Courses in

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Golf at the Dubai Desert Classic host venue, Majlis Course at Emirates Golf Club, ranked among the world’s top 100 and #1 in the U.A.E. Carved out of the desert and winding through naturally rolling terrain, the fairways may appear as narrow green targets, so plan on playing a few sand shots here. With tall dunes framing the course perimeter and lakes to play around on several holes, the first grass course in the Middle East Enjoy offers golfers a highly challenging game. The Els Club at Dubai Sport City is an excellent example of a “desert links” course. Expect a surprising amount of elevation change, most of which incorporates into raised greens, so measuring your approach is key for keeping your golf score low. The fairways are generous, and the conditioning is superb throughout.

Rest and recharge off the course, shopping for luxury labels in renowned designer boutiques at the Mall of the Emirates or finding local bargains at the Gold Souk. To cap off your desert metropolis experience, visit the Dubai Marina and board a luxury yacht for a beautiful scenic cruise and gourmet meal.

Best Golf Courses in

Málaga, Spain

Experience the ultimate in world championship golf at three spectacular venues in Spain. Begin at La Reserva Club, playing its beautifully manicured, spacious fairways and large greens that weave through rolling terrain showcasing views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Andalusian mountains. Visit Finca Cortesin, a regular host venue for the Volvo Match Play Championship and the 2023 Solheim Cup host, for dramatic elevation changes through scenic valleys presenting sweeping views of the surrounding hills and countryside. Discover why Valderrama consistently ranks as one of the top five courses in Europe and #29 in the world by Golf Digest. A Ryder Cup venue and a regular host of the Andalucía Masters, Valderrama is one of the best golf courses in the world and receives high praise from major championship-winning golfers.

Before flying to Miami, Florida, complete your around-the-world luxury golfing vacation by cruising the crystal-clear waters of Spain’s famed Costa del Sol and exploring the picturesque Andalusian hill town of Ronda via an exclusive guided tour and private tasting at a local winery.
