Famous for its minimized environmental footprint and five sets of tees players of all magnitude -- this golf course has a story to tell. Tall whispering pines surround a Palapa near the finishing hole where a mixologist prepares farm-to-table açaí popsicles.

Japan is the most underrated golf destination in the world and provides an unrivaled golf experience, on and off the golf courses!!

Did you know that...
*..Japan boasts the second most golf courses in the world? Japan counts more courses than the rest of Asia together and more than the UK & Ireland combined!!
*..no other country in Asia boasts more TOP 100 and TOP 10 courses than Japan. In other words, 28 of Japan´s courses are ranked in Asia´s TOP 100 list. In both Thailand and Vietnam, Asia´s leading tourist destinations, only five courses have made their way onto this list.
*..Japan is a golf obsessed nation? In the 1980´s golf was booming and in the early 90’s golf-club memberships were even traded as negotiable financial tools like stocks on the Tokyo Stock Exchange
*..at that time the average membership in private clubs cost over $250,000 and ranged up to $2.7 million – if a spot was even available.Today, many of the country´s 3,000+ golf courses are struggling due to the challenging economy and the aging golf population. That´s why more and more private golf courses have been opening their gates to welcome international golfers.
*..the experiences on and off the golf courses are truly highly unique unlike anywhere else on the globe!
*
Japan´s Gastronomy is an intangible UNESCO Cultural Heritage
*
Gruber, who has experienced Japan many times is hosting an epic Japan Golf, Culture & Culinary Adventure to this stunning country to showcase the very best this fascinating country and has to offer. There are three more spots available!
*

The battle in Rome - only 51 days to go!

The countdown for the 42nd Ryder Cup in Italy is on!
Jump on an incredible opportunity due to a cancellation!
Watch world-class golf and drama unfold at Marco Simone Golf Course and experience the magic city of Rome! ..
Anticipation and excitement are growing. U.S. Captain Steve Stricker was raving about the greatest team of all-time after the dominant 19-9 defeat over the Europeans at Whistling Straits.
Is the U.S. team still inevitable? Can Team USA finally win the Ryder Cup on foreign soil after three decades? It was in 1993 at the Belfry when the Americans rallied for a 15-13 victory over Europe.
What will the team look like? How will the redesigned Ryder Cup course Marco Simone play out? How will it be configured to fit the European team’s strengths?
Lots of questions that remain unanswered for now. But we do know for sure that there will be plenty of world-class golf, drama, excitement and patriotism!
Rome will be a wonderful host of this prestigious event. Having grown up in Austria, golf travel specialist Evelyn Gruber has been to this magic city multiple times as it is just an hour flight from her home town of Graz.
But she still keeps exploring new fascinating neighborhoods, amazing architecture, historical sites, awesome restaurants, fantastic shopping.... whenever she gets there. Rome is certainly one of the most impressive and vibrant cities in the world.
The majority of Ryder Cup tickets have been sold but Evelyn´s award-winning golf travel company has a few more official packages at hand due to a cancellation. if you are interested in a keen bucket list deal, reach out to her.

Our Story

We don’t rate golf courses; we write stories through the lens of the traveling golfer. We’re more interested in the memories made on golf courses. We like to talk to the people that shape the game and chat with the characters that make golf such a special experience. We love Pebble Beach, Pine Valley, St Andrews and the like, and share equal reverence for small town municipal golf courses. Also read WBGD for stylish apparel, new gear, equipment and helpful instruction from the WBGD Director of Instruction, Mark Wood. Thank you for reading.

This week on the PaddyTalks Golf Podcast we speak with Bert McKay, General Manger at Castlerock.

It’s been one hundred and twenty one years since the formal inauguration of Castlerock. Harry C**t made it the links we play today, albeit more recently refreshed and updated by Martin Hawtree in 2017. A golf course played in the landscape not on the landscape, it is indeed a fine hallmark C**t design. Hollows, rises, banks, plateaus, pot bunkers and greens varying in sizes all contribute to an incredible links experience just twenty minutes from the Open hosting Royal Portrush.

The 8th Hole - The Postage Stamp at Royal Troon, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

It is undeniably another great course; another great Scottish course and one enjoyed by all of our clients who have played it.

A links course in the traditional sense where the prevailing wind plays a massive part in how you will play each of the holes.

Sitting on the Ayrshire coast with views over to the Isle of Arran today’s course is the internationally regarded links at Western Gailes.

The course, like a few in this stretch, sits between the railway line from Glasgow and the coast and never more than two fairways wide between the two. It’s routing is four holes running north away from the clubhouse before 5-13 run south along the dunes on the coastal side of the course with the homeward holes back northwards running alongside the railway track to the clubhouse.

Dunes, pot bunkers, burns and superb greens make this a real test of golf but it’s not a monster so if you play to your strengths you will certainly enjoy your round. But don’t get too carried if you start well as any errant tee shots will soon serve up a reality check to confirm your real playing ability. ☹️

ps, being 5 up after 9 and finishing the match all square makes for a very long journey home.

Thanks Ian McCaig for a superb game over one of Ayrshire’s best and to everyone at Western Gailes Golf Club the course was in magnificent condition as always.
