Cool Summer Getaways

Escape the heat dome by heading north, enjoying long daylight hours, firm links conditions, and cool climates at the game’s legendary summer destinations.

Long Days, Perfect Temperate Play

When the southern destinations become absolutely scorching, a Cool Summer Golf Getaway is the smart traveler’s choice. This window, typically June through August, is the prime season for northern regions that offer refreshingly mild temperatures and incredibly long daylight hours, sometimes lasting until 10 PM. This means you can easily fit in 36 holes or more without rushing. You’re trading intense heat and slow, humid resort golf for crisp air and typically firm, fast conditions, especially on links courses. It’s the perfect antidote to the summer swelter and an ideal way to experience the original forms of the game. Destinations like the coasts of Scotland and Ireland, the Pacific Northwest of the US, and the Atlantic provinces of Canada truly thrive during these comfortable summer months.

Links Golf at Its Best

The greatest appeal of a sunny summer golfing vacation is the condition of the courses, particularly the historic links courses. The fairly dry, long summer days firm up the courses in Scotland and Ireland. The grass becomes hard and fast, and control of the ball and imagination on the ground are essential, the way golf was originally designed. The longer daylight hours, often called “Midnight Golf” in the most northern latitudes, are a huge benefit. Picture teeing off at 6 PM and still having enough light for your final holes. The longer time frame allows for liberal scheduling and a casual approach to playing multiple rounds, making the overall experience deeply immersive and rewarding.

Northern Havens of Golf

For cool, comfortable summer play, the historical homes of golf are unbeatable. The Irish coasts are magnificent, particularly the northwest and southwest regions, where you can tackle renowned courses like Ballyliffin or Waterville in pleasant temperatures. Over in Scotland, the regions are endless, but the Aberdeen & Fife coasts are superb in summer, offering a fantastic mix of Open venues and hidden gems. For a North American option, the Canadian Maritimes, specifically Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, are spectacular. Their cool, breezy climates and stunning coastal courses (like Cabot Links) provide a unique and luxurious summer escape far from the humidity.
