The beautiful region of West Pomerania is located in North West Poland. It has many qualities such as incredible spa facilities and fantastic local produce, but more recently it has emerged as a new golfing destination with three stunning 18-hole golf courses, including a Gary Player design which is ranked in the top 100 European golf courses as well as being voted Poland’s best golf course.

The Polish National Tourist Office, in cooperation with The Word Association and the three beautiful golf courses, has the pleasure of inviting the British golf media on a tailored press trip to enjoy West Pomerania’s high-quality yet affordable golf, right in the heart of Europe. The visit will take in all three golf courses (Modry Las, Binowo Park, and Amber Baltic) and many sites of local interest - see draft itinerary below. With direct flights from London Stansted to Szczecin, there has never been a better time to visit Poland.
