Costa del Sol - A True Golfing Paradise ⛳️

Imagine, in your mind's eye, a place where you can play golf all year-round and where unforgettable experiences await both on and off the golf course. Sounds perfect, right?

OK, now what if we told you that such a place actually exists...


The Costa del Sol, in the province of Malaga in southern Spain, is that very place.

Beautifully positioned on the Mediterranean coast, it boasts more than 300 days of glorious sunshine per year, along with an eclectic mix of rich history, truly fascinating culture, delicious cuisine and vibrant nightlife.

With golf fully operational in the Costal de Sol once again, unique and enduring experiences wait around every corner to help satisfy the wants, needs and expectations of each and every discerning golf traveller.

The best courses in Europe

Nowhere on Continental Europe will you find a higher concentration of stunning golf courses than on the Costa del Sol; it's for that reason the region has been affectionately nicknamed 'Costa del Golf'.

Marbella Golf

With more than 70 unique and challenging golf facilities, golfers of all abilities are well catered for, while each golf club boasts superb facilities and takes immense pride in providing a star quality service.

Many of the golf courses in the Costa del Sol were designed by famous architects, such as the late, great Robert Trent Jones. Perhaps one of his most famous and revered courses in the area is Valderrama, the first European golf course outside the UK to host the legendary Ryder Cup and often voted as the best golf course in Europe.

As the world continues to get to grips with the global pandemic, golf, as a sport, has adapted very quickly to create a safe environment for everyone engaged in the game. Golf courses in the Costa del Sol, in particular, have implemented the safety protocols - as laid out by the Spanish government - to the highest standard to ensure golfers can enjoy a care-free round in the baking Mediterranean sun.

Every golf club in the region is open for business and ready to help golfers create truly indelible memories and enjoy unforgettable experiences, both on the fairways and further beyond the golf course.
