Golf in Poland dates back a hundred years and there are now around 25 courses in the country. The Polish Golf Union is up and running and a number of new courses are in the planning stages. After WWI, golf was a forbidden sport, and was considered as an upper class sport. The renaissance of golf in Poland has lasted since 1980s of 20th century.
Perhaps Poland does not automatically spring to mind as a destination when planning a golf holiday, however, we reckon Poland represents great value for money along with great courses... and your treated like a Tour Player. Over the years, there are more and more golf clubs appearing on the golfing map of Poland, and the group of golf lovers is also growing rapidly.
Having worked hard for your money and with the Euro not offering a great deal at the moment now is the time to look at Poland. A pint of beer costs approx £1.20 in the majority of Cities and a typical 3 Course meal costs approx £7.00.
Poland is still a cheap country for golfers. The prices in Poland are lower than in Western Europe, both for products sold in shops and prices in restaurants, hotels and others. Just how cheap, depends the degree of comfort to which you are accustomed to. If you are accustomed to a high standard hotels, and for example to exquisite food in expensive restaurants you will have to pay as much as if you were in Western Europe.
However the budget of £15 - £25 a day should be enough to live on an average standard of living.
At the end of the day its a golf trip and the most important aspect of any golf holiday, golf break or golf tour is the quality of the courses.
