Our friends over at Leadingcourses.com love reviews, rankings and statistics. And they love them even more when they are transparent, honest and based on information provided by their readers. Last February they published their “Best Golf Resorts 2018” rankings. They used their own review data and the reviews of their hotel partner Booking.com to provide a comprehensive list of the best golf resorts throughout Europe. In those rankings the overall number 1 is Finca Cortesin Hotel Golf & Spa. But they didn’t stop there…

They dug a little deeper into the statistics. They asked themselves, which country offers the most overall quality? Where should you go if you want to drown yourself in luxury and play some of the most phenomenal golf courses in Europe? Portugal? Spain? Turkey? Think again. Their recent study shows that it’s Ireland that offers the best overall golf resort quality when looking at the sum of all the ratings!
