Best golf trips in August

With peak summer in full swing across the UK, Ireland and Europe, August offers some of the best playing conditions of the year. To make the most of your trip, here are some of our Golf Travel Experts’ top tips for golf holidays in August:

• Book early to secure the best options: August is one of the busiest months for golf travel, so tee times, accommodation and flights can fill up quickly. Booking well in advance gives you the best choice of courses and ensures your preferred tee times.

• Make the most of long daylight hours:

With extended daylight, August is perfect for fitting in extra rounds. Early tee times and twilight golf are great ways to maximise your time on the course without feeling rushed.

• Choose links and coastal courses:

Links courses are at their best during late summer, offering firm fairways and true greens. Coastal venues also benefit from cooling sea breezes, making them more comfortable during warmer days.

• Plan around peak-season demand:

Courses, resorts and restaurants can be busy, particularly at weekends. Travelling midweek or pre-booking extras like dining and buggies can help your trip run more smoothly.
