Golf on the Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol has not been named the Costa del Golf without good reason, it is simply a golfers paradise, there are some 72 golf courses in Andalucia , of which 45 are situated along the Costa del Sol , four of those are ranked in the top 10 in Europe, add to that a fantastic all year round climate and you are most definitely in golfing heaven !!.

This concentration of quality courses along with an excellent warm and sunny climate has proven to be a must golfing winter destination to many thousands of northern Europeans each year.

Valderama was chosen for the Ryder cup in 1997 which ironically was almost washed out due to the heavy rains, however even the unusually wet weather couldn't dampen the atmosphere during those momentous days for the European team. And in 2007 the Valderrama golf club celebrated in style as the Volvo Masters commemorated its 20th anniversary, the longest-running single sponsorship in European golf.

Due largely to the success of the Ryder Cup, golf was taken to new levels on the Costa del Sol as it gained universal recognition and along with it came more quality courses which have been constructed to supply the ever increasing demand for Golf in southern Spain.

Due to the increasing demand of golfers who enjoy playing 9 holes instead of the usual 18, some excellent smaller Par 3 courses have sprung up all along the Costa del Sol. These courses are very player friendly, great value , help your short game tremendously and can be played easily in around 2 hours making them ideal for the local golfing enthusiast who's time and funds maybe limited. The pick of these courses include, Greenlife, El Candado, La Siesta , La Noria , Monte Paraiso , Magna Marbella . Alhaurin and Benalmadena Golf.


Golf Tourism on the Costa del Sol

Due to the high prices of property close to the coast and lack of building land in those areas the promoters know full well the importance of Golf courses to interest an tempt future property buyers to Spain. The Spanish tourism authorities are also highly aware of the lucrative commercial benefits of offering quality golfing facilities . The average golfer will spend some 120 Euros a day whilst the conventional tourist spends around 38 Euros. 80% of golfing visitors will repeat the same course as well as trying others. 16 new course are planed on the Costa del Sol with a further 19 in the Cadiz region which includes the increasingly popular Costa de la Luz. This means huge investments in Spain and the creation of hundreds of Jobs…which is as we all know is music to any politicians ears and so the efforts to build on and sustain quality golfing tourism is of the up most importance to everyone concerned with this ever growing and popular sport.
