Why? Well, if you stay at a golf resort with more courses or multiple loops you don't have to look any further where to golf. You can just stay at the resort, relax and play golf whenever you like.
This ranking of Best Golf Resorts with at least 36 holes is a subset of the already published ranking of Best Golf Resorts in Europe in 2022. We hope it helps golfers decide where to go if they do not want to travel a lot but just want to play golf in one place.
Best Golf Resorts with 36 or more holes
Please note that we only list 'golf resorts' and not golf courses with 'just a hotel'. A resort in this top list needs to have at least 36 holes, the holes of a pitch & putt course are not taken into account. Based on just the number of holes and so the variety of choice at the resort, The Gleneagles Hotel and Costa Navarino are the best places to go to.
Note: Please check the criteria at the bottom of this article. The ranking was created in the last week of August 2022.

Criteria to be listed in Best Golf Resorts rankings
As mentioned, this top 10 list is a subset of the actual Best Golf Resorts in Europe in 2022 ranking that was published on the 2nd of September 2022. So, the same criteria were used, but we added just one extra: the resort has to have at least 36 holes or more.
