When you think of a motorhome road trip, you think of freedom, nature, new encounters and unforgettable experiences in the most beautiful places. But have you ever thought of adding the theme of golf? This swinging sport is growing in popularity, just like camping. So high time to try out this mix! In this blog, we will take you into the world of golfing campervans or camping golfers. Together with our friends from Leading Courses - the platform for golfers - we hope to inspire you to your ultimate European golf roadtrip. A road trip where open tarmac and freshly cut grass go hand in hand.
If you are passionate about green golf courses, there is nothing like the sound of a golf ball leaving the tee and shooting into the air. Strolling from hole to hole along the course while enjoying good company. It gets even more fun when you don't have to travel afterwards, but immediately open a delicious wine or beer at your motorhome. On the golf course. More and more golf courses are seeing the added value of motorhome sites on their grounds. After all, motorhome owners often use the course's facilities. Enjoy being on the course, then have lunch or dinner in the clubhouse and then go straight to your campervan. Great if you can combine these two passions!

For many RVers, one of the charms of camping is the freedom of the open road and unplanned travel. At golf courses, that often doesn't get you there. Especially at the most popular courses, reservations really are a must. And sometimes well in advance. Maybe not so spontaneous, but if you want to be assured of a starting time at your favourite course, you have to be prepared. And you compensate for that with the nice holiday feeling of your motorhome 😊
