Golf resort dining has moved well past the turn hot dog. GOLF's Top 100 Resorts list now doubles as a guide to serious kitchens, staffed by chefs trained at top tables and built around ingredients sourced near the course. Five stand out for pairing destination golf with destination food.

Where can golfers find Michelin-starred dining at a resort?

Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco in Tuscany's Val d'Orcia houses Ristorante Campo del Drago, a two-Michelin-star restaurant led by chef Matteo Temperini, who pairs produce from the estate's organic gardens with its own Brunello di Montalcino. The property also runs Osteria La Canonica, a trattoria serving wood-fired pizza and Chianina steak, inside a 12th-century borgo.

Adare Manor in Ireland, whose championship course will host the 2027 Ryder Cup, centers its dining around The Oak Room, a Michelin-starred restaurant where chef Michael Tweedie builds tasting menus from Irish artisan ingredients. The resort also offers Japanese cooking at Oku, a casual Carriage House, and whiskey flights in its Tack Room.

What other resorts made the list?

South Cape Owners Club on Namhae Island, South Korea, runs two on-course teahouses plus a clubhouse restaurant built around Namhae beef, the region's answer to Kobe. Terre Blanche in Provence, France, operates three restaurants centered on same-day local produce and Mediterranean seafood. In Greece, Costa Navarino spreads its dining across multiple properties, including a classic steakhouse, an Italian kitchen, a Japanese restaurant and two Greek spots set along the Ionian Sea.
