How we chose them

A multi course resort is the purest form of the golf trip. Everyone checks into one lodge, the tee sheet does the planning, and the only decision each morning is which great course to play. The best of them go further still, offering not just quantity but genuine variety, several distinct championship layouts by different architects, so that a week never repeats itself. That is the standard we ranked to here.

We weighed the quality and number of championship courses on site, the strength of the headline course, the contrast between the layouts, the setting and the overall stay and play experience. We checked every course attribution, opening year and championship fact at the time of writing. The verdicts are ours, the order reflects our editors' view rather than any single published list, and reasonable golfers will reorder the top five. If you want any of these built into a costed trip, that is exactly what our concierge does.

The ranking

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort

Bandon, Oregon, USA · five championship links plus two par 3 courses

The greatest pure golf resort in the world. On a wild stretch of the southern Oregon coast sit five walking only championship links: Bandon Dunes by David McLay Kidd, Pacific Dunes and Old Macdonald by Tom Doak, and Bandon Trails and Sheep Ranch by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, plus the acclaimed Bandon Preserve and Shorty's par 3 courses. No designer egos, no carts, no houses, just five of the finest modern links you can play, each different, on one storm tossed property. The definitive buddies trip.

Pinehurst Resort

Pinehurst, North Carolina, USA · ten courses

The home of American golf, with ten courses in the North Carolina sandhills. The crown is No. 2, Donald Ross's domed green masterpiece and an anchor site for the US Open, joined by the restored No. 4 from Gil Hanse and the dramatic new No. 10 by Tom Doak, which opened in April 2024. Add the historic village, the cradle short course and the Pinehurst brand of sandy, strategic golf, and no resort offers more championship variety in one place. A pilgrimage.

Pebble Beach and the Monterey Peninsula

Monterey, California, USA · several championship courses

The most scenic golf address on earth. Pebble Beach Golf Links is the headline, a public US Open host along Carmel Bay, but the Monterey Peninsula clustered around it adds Spyglass Hill by Robert Trent Jones Senior, the Links at Spanish Bay and the historic Del Monte, the oldest course in continuous play west of the Mississippi. Stay at the Lodge or the Inn at Spanish Bay and several of America's great courses are at your door. Pure bucket list golf.

Streamsong Resort

Bowling Green, Florida, USA · three championship courses

A modern marvel rising from reclaimed phosphate mining land in central Florida, where vast sandy dunes give three of the best new courses in America: Red by Coore and Crenshaw, Blue by Tom Doak and Black by Gil Hanse. Each is a links inspired, walkable, dramatically contoured layout from a top architect, a rare three way design clinic on one site. The minimalist's dream resort, and one of the great surprises in golf travel.

Destination Kohler

Kohler, Wisconsin, USA · four Pete Dye courses

Pete Dye's Wisconsin empire, four courses across two clubs. Whistling Straits, on the Lake Michigan shore, gave the world the rugged Straits course, host of the 2021 Ryder Cup and three PGA Championships, alongside the inland Irish. Twenty minutes away, Blackwolf Run adds the River and Meadow Valleys courses. Faux Irish links by the lake and muscular river golf inland make a fierce, beautiful and very American multi course week.

Kiawah Island Golf Resort

Kiawah Island, South Carolina, USA · five resort courses

A Lowcountry barrier island with five resort courses led by one of the most famous in the world. The Ocean Course, Pete Dye's brutal seaside test, staged the 1991 Ryder Cup and the 2012 and 2021 PGA Championships, and is joined by Turtle Point from Jack Nicklaus, Osprey Point from Tom Fazio, Cougar Point and Oak Point.

Cabot Cape Breton

Inverness, Nova Scotia, Canada · two championship links plus a par 3 course

The links of the New World, on the rugged west coast of Cape Breton Island.

Gleneagles

Auchterarder, Perthshire, Scotland · three championship courses

The grand dame of Scottish resort golf, a palatial hotel in the Perthshire hills with three courses. The PGA Centenary by Jack Nicklaus hosted the 2014 Ryder Cup, while the heathland King's and Queen's courses, laid out by five time Open champion James Braid in the 1920s, remain among the finest inland golf in Britain. Add the falconry, the spa and the five star service, and Gleneagles is the most refined multi course resort in Europe.

Casa de Campo

La Romana, Dominican Republic · three Pete Dye courses

The Caribbean's great golf resort, a sprawling estate on the south coast of the Dominican Republic with three Pete Dye designs. Teeth of the Dog is the jewel, seven holes hard against the sea and consistently rated the best course in the Caribbean, joined by the cliffside Dye Fore and the inland Links. With a marina village, beaches and a vast luxury resort around it, Casa de Campo pairs world class golf with a full tropical holiday.

Barnbougle

Bridport, Tasmania, Australia · two championship links plus a par 3 course

The links of the antipodes, on a remote stretch of Tasmania's north east coast. Barnbougle Dunes by Tom Doak and Mike Clayton put Australian links golf on the map, and Lost Farm by Bill Coore added a second world top 100 course next door, joined by the short Bougle Run. Tumbling through wild coastal dunes above the Bass Strait, with simple lodges and big skies, Barnbougle is a pure, unpretentious pilgrimage for the serious traveller.
