Frequently Asked Questions
Is Malta a good golf destination for a dedicated golf trip?
If you're looking for a destination with a dozen courses to play every day, Malta isn't it. However, for a relaxing trip where golf is a pleasant addition to exploring history and beautiful coastlines, it's absolutely fantastic. We recommend it for golfers who appreciate a unique experience and aren't solely focused on racking up rounds.
What's the best time of year to play golf in Malta?
We've found the shoulder seasons-spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October)-offer the most comfortable golfing weather. You'll enjoy pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds on the course compared to the peak summer months. Winter is also surprisingly mild and a great escape from colder climates.
What can I expect from the Royal Malta Golf Club, Malta's only course?
The Royal Malta Golf Club is a charming, historic course with a distinct British colonial feel, established over a century ago. It's not a championship-length monster, but its tight fairways and mature trees demand precision, offering a fun and strategic challenge. You'll appreciate its well-maintained greens and the friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
Should I bring my own golf clubs to Malta, or rent them?
Given there's only one course, we usually recommend renting clubs unless you're staying for an extended period or are extremely particular about your own set. The Royal Malta Golf Club offers decent rental options, saving you the hassle and cost of airline baggage fees. It's a practical choice for a short golf visit.
What are some must-do activities in Malta to complement a golf round?
After your round, you absolutely must explore Valletta's stunning architecture and rich history, or take a ferry to the quieter island of Gozo for breathtaking coastal walks. We also highly recommend visiting the ancient temples of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra for a truly unique cultural experience. Malta offers incredible depth beyond the fairways.
