Home to European Tour venues such as
Valderrama and
Finca Cortesin, the golf in Costa del Sol is truly remarkable with some of the finest layouts in continental Europe.
Sotogrande can be considered the hub for top quality golf and hosts some of the best courses in the Costa del Sol. Another of Europe's finest, and in Spain's Top 10 courses is the
Real Club de Golf Sotogrande. Designed by the Robert Trent Jones family, the course opened in 1964 and is blessed with an understated elegance throughout.
The lesser-known La Hacienda Alcaidesa Links proves that golf in the Costa del Sol does have it all, as it provides the only true coastal links course in the area!
Golf in the Costa del Sol is a study of luxury, and the area itself is a study of contrasts. Spain’s famous ‘sun coast’ was populated entirely by small fishing villages not long ago, but extensive developments over the last 60 years have introduced everything from the rich and loud Marbella, through to family-friendly Benalmádena, and back to the quiet Estepona which remains staunchly small and Spanish. Whether you choose to golf near Malaga or Benalmádena, know that golf along the sunshine coast is excellent, and the resorts are friendly and welcoming.
There is plenty of choices when it comes to golf in Costa del Sol with each course boasting its beauties, be that stunning views, challenging holes, or welcoming clubhouses. And when you’re not on the course, there’s a plethora of things to do in the Costa Del Sol. If you like walking and natural landscapes, we recommend the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park. But, if you’re with family, the Bioparc Fuengirola is great for the kids: a well curated zoo with animals and birds in naturalistic enclosures.
So, whether you’re looking for a group holiday with friends or you’re bringing the whole family along, Costa del Sol could be the perfect place for your next golf break.
