Golf trip to Costa Navarino with PGA PRO Christoph Knapp
It is not known whether Zeus, Poseidon & Co. played golf. But if the Greek gods wanted to tee off, they would probably do so on the Costa Navarino. Courses on the mythical Olympus couldn't be more beautiful than here.
In November, our PGA PRO Christoph Knapp accompanies us on a golf trip to Costa Navarino. In addition to rounds on four excellent golf courses, the program also includes professional training with Christoph Knapp. The package includes seven nights at the luxurious The Westin Resort including three dinners at the hotel.
Scotland, the land of the Highlands and whiskey
The Scottish Highlands around Brora and Inverness are a world of their own - rugged, pristine and with a mystical beauty that you will never forget. Here, majestic landscapes merge with centuries-old culture, traditional golf courses and the magic of whisky. This region is considered one of the most authentic and fascinating golf destinations in Europe.
The golf course of the same name is located in Brora, directly on the North Sea - a real hidden gem. Characterized by the forces of nature, sheep on the fairway and the constant wind from the sea, Brora Golf Club is an experience that combines understatement and class. Just a few minutes away, Golspie Golf Club is another highlight: varied, charming and with a view of the Moray Firth, it is a real insider tip for lovers of traditional links courses.
The Royal Dornoch Old Course is world-famous and is regularly ranked among the best golf courses in the world. Its layout, nestled between the dunes and the sea, is both challenging and inspiring - as is its little brother, the Struie Course, which surprises with its technical refinements and spectacular scenery.
A little further south near Inverness, the iconic Castle Stuart Golf Links awaits, with its spectacular holes stretching along the coast - a masterpiece of modern golf course architecture. The promising Old Petty Links is being built nearby.
The region is also characterized by traditional whisky distilleries, such as Clynelish Broara or Uilebheist Distillery & Brewery, and of course the legendary Loch Ness. According to legend, Nessie lives in the world-famous lake.
