Many family-friendly golf resorts welcome people of all ages all year round. Here’s our guide to some of the world’s very best golf holidays for families, even if not everyone is a golfer!

Club Med Sandpiper – Port St Lucie, Florida
This Caribbean-style all-inclusive is situated in the heart of Florida’s Port St Lucie and carries a brilliant reputation for hosting well-run entertainment and activity programs for babies, kids, tweens and teens alike. Activities include pyjama club (allowing a bit of evening downtime for mum and dad), sailing, tennis, and workout classes such as yoga and aqua fitness, to name but a few. Holidaymakers can enjoy group lessons or freestyle it on the 9-hole pitch-n-putt course, while those a little more serious about golf can enjoy the putting green and the beautifully-kept 18-hole course.
