Golf is no longer just a sport—it’s a wellness ritual. At luxury golf resorts around the world, travelers are discovering the restorative rhythm of the game paired with five-star recovery experiences.

A 2020 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found golfers enjoy longer lifespans, better cardiovascular health, and stronger mental wellbeing compared to non-golfers (Murray et al., 2020).

At destinations like Cabot Cape Breton (Canada), Sensei Lanai (Hawaii), and Finca Cortesin (Spain), the day doesn’t end at the 18th hole. It continues with sound baths, sea-to-table cuisine, therapeutic massage, and mobility-focused yoga.

“Golf encourages mindfulness. You walk, breathe, reflect, and play,” says PGA professional and yoga teacher Katherine Roberts. “It’s active meditation with a side of Vitamin D.”

These properties are also designed for dual experiences—golfers play while non-golfers engage in spa rituals, nature excursions, or creative workshops.

The result? Reconnection, balance, and bliss for everyone involved.
