Golf courses in Malta

Golf in Malta is a small but characterful affair, centred on a single historic club at the heart of this sun-drenched Mediterranean island. With one course to its name, Malta is not a destination for endless variety, but the Royal Malta Golf Club offers something few places can match: a round of golf set against the warm light, golden stone and deep-blue sea that define the islands.

The appeal here is the setting and the season. Malta enjoys long, hot summers and exceptionally mild winters, which means golf is genuinely possible year-round, a real draw for travellers escaping the northern European cold. A round at the Royal Malta Golf Club pairs perfectly with everything else the island offers, from the baroque streets of Valletta and ancient harbours to swimming and seafood by the coast. For the visiting golfer, this is a relaxed, sociable kind of golf, best enjoyed as part of a wider Maltese break rather than a dawn-to-dusk golfing tour, and all the more charming for it.
