These Are the Most Underrated Golf Destinations, According to a Travel Expert

"Al Mouj Golf Resort in Muscat, the country's capital city, is a course designed by former world number-one golfer Greg Norman, with beautiful holes along the ocean and incredible mountain views. While you wouldn't be blamed for staying put at the resort to enjoy the spa and nine dining options, Muscat's 2,000-year history as a major port city between the east and west makes it a fascinating place to venture out and explore."

"If you want to tee off somewhere in Europe besides the old standards like Scotland and Ireland-which are never bad choices, by the way-consider visiting Estonia. Just over 15 miles outside of Tallinn, its capital city, is the Estonian Golf and Country Club, situated along the gorgeous Baltic Coast. The "Sea Course" is an especially beautiful experience. And when you're not golfing, Tallinn's old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site with cobblestone streets, Gothic churches, and historic merchant houses to explore."

Golf tourism is projected to grow to about $27 billion by 2025 and over $65 billion by 2035, fueling new courses and golf resorts worldwide. Al Mouj Golf Resort in Muscat, Oman, designed by Greg Norman, features oceanfront holes, mountain views, spa facilities, and nine dining options, with Muscat offering 2,000 years of port-city history. Estonian Golf and Country Club, just over 15 miles from Tallinn on the Baltic Coast, includes the scenic "Sea Course" and easy access to Tallinn's UNESCO-listed old town with cobblestone streets, Gothic churches, and historic merchant houses. Both destinations combine top-tier golf and authentic cultural experiences.
