If your ideal holiday involves playing a round of golf, a play-and-stay golf holiday may be in your future. Golf resorts and hotels feature either an on-site golf course or partnership with a nearby golf course. If they don't have an on-site golf course, they may offer a shuttle service to nearby golf courses.

Higher-end golf resorts may include clubs, caddies, carts and more in their package price. Golf holiday packages may also include green fees and country club passes. Others may offer these same perks and services for a small fee.

Many golf resorts have other amenities such as games rooms, pools, playgrounds and restaurants for the non-golfers in your party.
