Green fees begin around the £70 mark, but check the website for details. buenavistagolf.es
10. Bro Hof Slot Stadium Course, Sweden THE EXPERT VIEW: “Since I’m a Swede, I’ve got to include at least one course from my home country.

A tough challenge for many but strikingly beautiful holes in Swedish nature.” THE DETAILS: There are two courses, both designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, with green fees starting from around £80. brohofslot.se
