Experience the world's most beautiful golf courses 

A golfing cruise to the origins of golf. On the courses visited on this cruise, golf has been played very traditionally for centuries. All these courses have one thing in common: they have a natural layout and the game is first and foremost a very enjoyable pastime. Let yourself be whisked away to the origins of golf. – Fun is particularly important, so make it an experience.

Sun, 31.05.2026, Portsmouth, Great Britain – Goodwood GC – The Downs Course
The Downs Course was designed back in 1914 by James Braid, the renowned architect of the Gleneagles and Carnoustie golf institutions. The result was a top-class golf course stretching over 18 holes and winding its way through densely wooded terrain in places. The fairways of the parkland course are characterized by regulated playing areas with distinct modulations. The final greens at the end of the fairways feature strategically placed bunkers. This makes every round on the Downs Course a typically historic golfing experience with sporting challenges and a nostalgic flair.

Wed, 03.06.2026, Dun Laoghaire – Ireland – Powerscourt Golf Club – East Course
Like the West Course, the 18 holes of the East Course are situated above the village of Bray. They are all designed in a parkland style and need to be played with care due to their design – especially as the fairways are extensively equipped with bunkers. The first hole alone, a par 4 with a length of 343 m (375 yd), is guarded by seven impressive, well-positioned sand hazards. The dreaded pot bunkers also appear on the way to the finish, which should be avoided if possible.

Thu, 04.06.2026, Liverpool, England, Great Britain – West Lancashire GC
A place steeped in history – West Lancashire Golf Club is one of the ten oldest golf clubs in England and offers an unrivalled golfing experience on one of the most natural and challenging links courses in the British Isles. Nestled in the picturesque coastal landscape with views of the Mersey estuary and the Welsh mountains, you can expect a course that is both challenging and scenically stunning.

Tue, 09.06.2026, Newhaven (Edinburgh), Scotland, Great Britain – Bruntsfield Links Golf Club
The parkland course is in excellent condition and features some sweeping fairways. And this despite the fact that golf was first played in this area in 1761 with five links-style holes. This makes the origin of the course one of the fourth oldest golfing experiences in the world. After several relocations, the original design began to be changed and expanded again and again at the beginning of the 19th century, with the result that the former links specification gradually developed into a parkland course. Today, the course is a typical parkland course in the best sense of the word, with significant mature trees.
