Family Destinations for Golfers

For golf-loving families, a vacation that combines beautiful courses, stunning landscapes and family-friendly amenities is an outstanding recipe that screams "something for every family member." Whether you’re enjoying Canada’s serene greens, playing among Europe’s historic fairways, or teeing off on an iconic American course, these destinations offer the ideal mix of golf, fun and relaxation for all ages.

Enjoy gorgeous mountain views while nestled in the trees on a Whistler Golf Course.

Whistler, British Columbia
Whistler is a world-class destination for golfers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The Whistler Golf Club, designed by Arnold Palmer, offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and is perfect for both beginners and experienced golfers. The course is surrounded by lush forests, with lakes and streams adding to its beauty. For a more challenging course, Nicklaus North Golf Course provides a stunning backdrop of mountain vistas and serene lakes.

Historical structures adorn St. Andrews golf course.

St. Andrews, Scotland
For golf lovers, there’s no place quite like St. Andrews! Known as the "Home of Golf," the Old Course at St. Andrews is one of the most famous and historic golf courses in the world. Its 18-hole course, with its large double greens, iconic Swilcan Bridge, and magnificent views of the North Sea all offer a unique golf experience that’s steeped in tradition. While the Old Course is a must-play, the nearby Castle Course and New Course also provide exceptional rounds for families, with breathtaking views and a variety of challenges.

Gorgeous mountain views at The Menaggio course.

Lake Como, Italy
Lake Como in Italy offers a blend of relaxation, culture and, of course, The Menaggio & Cadenabbia Golf Club. As one of the oldest courses in Italy, it offers stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains, making every hole a picture-perfect experience. I love the fact that this course is accessible to golfers of all abilities and its fairways wind through charming villages and ancient olive groves.

Pebble beach offers stunning views while you play a round of golf.

Pebble Beach, California
Pebble Beach is not just a golf destination: it’s a marvelous experience for multigenerational golfers. The renowned Pebble Beach Golf Links is a breathtaking course that hugs the rugged coastline of Monterey Peninsula. It is one of those places golf aficionados can’t stop talking about – and as a Californian, I can see why! Known for hosting major tournaments, including the U.S. Open, the views of the Pacific Ocean from nearly every hole are unparalleled. Your family should also enjoy playing at The Links at Spanish Bay, which offers a more relaxed round with scenic coastal views and a welcoming atmosphere for golfers of varying skill levels.
These destinations—Whistler, St. Andrews, Lake Como, and Pebble Beach—are excellent for families who love golf. From iconic courses and historic landmarks to breathtaking views and family-friendly amenities, each destination provides a rich blend of golf and leisure that ensures both adults and children have a memorable experience. Whether you’re teeing off at a legendary course or exploring the natural beauty of each location, these spots promise an unforgettable golf vacation for the entire family.
