Golfing City Breaks

Why choose between golf and a great city? With a golfing city break, you don’t have to. Play a round in the morning, then swap your golf shoes for a night out. In other words, this is golf with bars, restaurants, culture and nightlife on your doorstep, not miles from anywhere.

We’ve handpicked 33+ city break packages across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. So, whether you fancy tapas and rooftop bars in Madrid, a waterfront night out in Dubai Marina, or street food and cocktails in Bangkok, there’s a city to match. Each package pairs a well-located hotel with golf nearby, meaning you’re never far from either the first tee or the best table in town.

Why Book a Golfing City Break?

The best of both worlds. Golf by day, city life by night. As a result, you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other on a short break.

Ideal for mixed groups. Not everyone in your group plays golf, and that’s fine. While some play a round, others can explore museums, markets, or the shops instead. Later, everyone meets up for dinner.

Short-break friendly. Most of these packages suit a long weekend as easily as a full week. Consequently, they’re a great option when annual leave is tight.

Nightlife and dining on tap. From Marbella’s beachfront restaurants to Bangkok’s rooftop bars, these cities are chosen for what happens after the round, not just the course itself.

Easy to reach. Cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Vienna all have direct flights from the UK. Therefore, travel time is minimal, leaving more time for golf and going out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a golfing city break? It’s a short golf holiday based in or near a major city, rather than at a stand-alone resort. In other words, you get golf during the day and full access to restaurants, bars and nightlife in the evening.

Are golfing city breaks good for groups with non-golfers? Yes, definitely. Golfers can play their round while non-golfers explore the city. Later, the whole group can reconvene for dinner or drinks.

Which cities are best for a golfing city break? Madrid and Barcelona are excellent all-rounders for golf, food and nightlife. Meanwhile, Dubai suits golfers wanting warm weather and a buzzing evening scene, and Bangkok or Pattaya offer exceptional value further afield.

How far is the golf course from the city centre on these breaks? This varies by package. Generally, our city break hotels are chosen for being close to both the course and the centre, so check the specific package details or ask our team for the best fit.

Is my golfing city break protected if I book with Findagolfbreak? Yes. All bookings are ATOL protected (ATOL no. 11516). Therefore, you get financial protection and peace of mind throughout.
