Frequently Asked Questions
Is there golf in Israel, and if so, where can I play?
Yes, absolutely! You'll find Israel's sole 18-hole championship course, Caesarea Golf Club, nestled right on the Mediterranean coast. It's a surprisingly well-maintained track, offering a unique blend of ancient history and modern golf.
What's the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Israel?
We highly recommend visiting in the spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) for ideal golf weather. The Mediterranean climate during these months offers comfortable temperatures and less humidity, making your round at Caesarea much more enjoyable than the scorching summer or cooler, sometimes rainy, winter.
What makes the golf experience at Caesarea Golf Club unique?
Caesarea is truly special because you're playing alongside ancient Roman ruins and with stunning Mediterranean Sea views. The course itself is a challenging Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, featuring well-manicured greens and fairways that demand precision, especially when the coastal winds pick up. You'll feel a real sense of history with every swing.
Should I rent clubs or bring my own for a round in Israel?
For just one round at Caesarea, we generally recommend renting clubs directly from the pro shop to save on airline baggage fees and hassle. They offer quality sets, so you won't feel disadvantaged. If you're particular about your own clubs, however, the course is certainly worth the effort of bringing them.
What are the must-see attractions near Caesarea Golf Club?
You absolutely must explore the Caesarea National Park, which is literally adjacent to the golf course. Wander through the impressive Roman amphitheater, the hippodrome, and the ancient port city - it's an incredible historical site. We also suggest a visit to the charming artist's village of Zichron Ya'akov for some local wine tasting and beautiful views.
