Golfing holiday

While Malta only holds one golf course, it's a fine one at that. Hidden amongst the industrial area of Marsa, you would never imagine such an expanse of green existed. Established in 1888, the Royal Malta Golf Club's course offers 18 holes of golf in maintained-daily historical and landscaped grounds. Today at par 68, it's a good challenge for the more experienced, without being unkind to the novice.

Perfect if you need to get corrective eye surgery but don’t want to spend days recovering. You can spend the rest of the time seeing Malta's sights with your improved eyesight!
