About ULTIMATE Golf

ULTIMATE Golf gathers the golf courses of the ULTIMATE City Guides in one place, and sets each one beside the hotels, restaurants and bars our editors have chosen nearby.

Once in a lifetime, maybe twice…

Some rounds come round once: a ballot tee time on the Old Course at St Andrews, or one of ten tee times a day at the Green Monkey in Barbados. The great ones have a way of bringing people back. This guide is for the first visit, the second, and whatever the three dots hold.

How we check

Every fact on a course page comes from the club’s own website: holes, par, length, designer, who can play, handicap limits, dress code, practice facilities and the clubhouse. Where a club does not say something, we leave it blank rather than guess. Each page lists the pages we read and the date we checked them.

We do not publish green fees, ratings or rankings. Fees change by season and by day, so the “Book a tee time” button always opens the club’s own booking page.

No club pays to be listed, and commission never decides what we include.

Private travel and hotels

The private jet terminals, helicopters, chauffeurs, yacht charters and VIP arrival services on this site come only from the listings of the ULTIMATE City Guides, and appear near a course only when we know where they are. Every hotel near a course has its own page here, with the facilities, rooms and concierge services the hotel states on its own website.

Tap the heart on any course or hotel to keep a shortlist, then compare two to four of them side by side.
