Ryder Cup Courses YOU Can Play

Dave, one of our sales team, tells you how you can play Ryder Cup courses…

With the Ryder Cup upon us, I found myself thinking – how easy is it to actually play on a course that’s hosted golf’s greatest team event?

Surprisingly, quite a few modern-day European Ryder Cup venues are far more accessible than you’d think. Many of these iconic courses are attached to luxurious resorts, complete with hotels on-site, making them the perfect long-weekend golf trip destination for you and your mates.

The European Courses…

Take The K Club in Ireland or Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Italy, for example – both venues were the stage for unforgettable European victories and are open to the public. You can walk the same fairways as the pros, soak in the atmosphere, and even grab a pint afterwards without needing an exclusive membership.

We haven’t got an exact match online with the golf break you appear to be looking for, so instead let’s talk.

Our friendly team are on hand to provide further assistance with planning your next escape, especially if you already have specific requirements or are looking for something extra special.

What other courses can you play?

Other legendary European hosts include the world-famous Belfry in England – home to multiple Ryder Cups and steeped in golfing history – and the breathtaking Valderrama Golf Club in Spain, known for its tight fairways and pristine conditioning.

On the other side of the Atlantic, it’s a different story.

Most U.S. Ryder Cup courses are private member clubs, making access tricky unless you’re lucky enough to know someone on the inside. However, there’s one major standout: Kiawah Island’s Ocean Course in South Carolina.

Host of the dramatic 1991 “War by the Shore,” Kiawah Island offers a rare opportunity to play a former U.S. Ryder Cup venue without a membership. And it doesn’t stop there – you’ll also find four other top-tier courses on the island, all set against stunning coastal backdrops. It’s a bucket-list golf trip waiting to happen.

So, whether you’re dreaming of an Italian escape, an Irish adventure, or a coastal Carolina challenge, Ryder Cup courses offer more than just history, they offer your next unforgettable golf trip.
