Golf Holidays in Spain: party or peace - the choice is yours...

Golf holidays in Spain have been an automatic choice for millions of golfers heading for a golf holiday on the Costa del Sol every year. But Spain has an awful lot more to offer the holiday golfer than just this strip of hotels and golf courses huddled together around Malaga and Marbella. The steady rise in the number of holiday golfers through the 80's and 90's has encouraged a plethora of Spanish golf courses to spring up right across the country. You can now take your golf holiday in almost every corner of Spain.

Golf holidays on the Costa del Sol

In the South of Spain the belt of golf courses along the Costa del Sol are extremely well frequented by all standards of European golfers, keen to make the most of their days (and nights). We are happy to arrange your golf holiday on the Costa del Sol for you, but frankly we feel you might enjoy golf in other parts of Spain even more.

Golf holidays - Sotogrande and Estepona

Heading further west from Malaga towards Gibraltar, the area around Estepona, Sotogrande and San Roque is much more civilized (and greener!) making for a more relaxing environment for your golf holiday. There are some superb golf courses to play: Valderrama, Finca Cortesin, La Reserva, San Roque as well as standard southern Spanish fare where the golf courses are intertwined amongst holiday homes.

Golf holidays on the Costa Brava

For a more tranquil golf holiday amidst seaside towns with a taste of real Spain and superb quality golf courses (such as PGA Catalunya and Emporda - slowly being discovered by golfers), head for the Costa Brava between Barcelona and Girona. A wonderful place to enjoy golf in Spain and a truly relaxing golf holiday: Spain's quieter corner. The North-Eastern corner of Spain clings fervently to its past and retains a distinct identity complete with its own language – Catalan, which is more widely used here than Spanish. There are indeed some large resort style towns along the beautiful Mediterranean coast but these are predominately to be found further south towards Barcelona. Contrastingly, the villages east of Girona are by and large either small fishing villages or medieval walled towns sitting on hilltops dominating the fertile, sun-drenched plains.

Golf holidays in Mallorca

One does not have to sail too far east from Barcelona before the Balearic islands are reached. Their reputation is one of wild partying, but in truth away from a couple of scary corners the majority of Mallorca is quiet and calm. Here there are an extraordinary number of golf courses, all of a very good standard. If you have always dismissed Mallorca as a youthful den of iniquity, then maybe it's time to reconsider.

Food and wine are hugely important to the Spanish (quite right to!) where both fresh fish and seafood are very much in evidence alongside fine hams, olives and cheeses. The provinces of Rioja and Navarra are well known for their rounded, oaky wines, are not far distant but there are many other, more local, wines of note: those from Penedes and Arragon are particularly worthy of investigation.
