Think luxury golf resorts are just for die-hard players? Think again. The world’s best golf properties now offer rich wellness experiences for non-golfers—turning every trip into a fully inclusive getaway.

Take The American Club in Wisconsin, for instance. While golf enthusiasts tackle the famous Whistling Straits course, their partners enjoy hydrotherapy, holistic facials, and yoga on the lakefront. At Banyan Tree Phuket, non-golfers choose between traditional Thai healing, forest hikes, or mixology classes.

Luxury golf resorts now include parallel experiences—golf in the morning, spa in the afternoon, and shared sunset dinners over curated tasting menus. Everyone recharges, each in their own way.

“The key to modern travel success is designing for multiple rhythms,” says wellness travel strategist Anne Dimon. “Couples don’t always want to do the same thing—but they do want to come back together feeling aligned.”

From nature walks to meditation classes to sommelier-led tastings, golf resorts are creating worlds beyond the greens. And that means you don’t have to know a putter from a pitching wedge to feel completely at home.
