Holidays with a swing

If golf is your sport, then Spain is the place for you. Every year thousands of people choose this country to play this sport. Spain is one of Europe’s premier golfing destinations and also one of the first European countries to successfully market the “package golf holiday” making life so very pleasant and easy for foreign visitors. Wherever you travel in Spain you are bound to find a world-class golf nearby, along with opportunities to visit historic cities and villages, enjoy beautiful weather, dramatic landscapes, wonderful gastronomy, and the country’s warm, welcoming people.

The majority of golf courses are situated between Málaga and Algeciras on the Costa del Sol. You can play courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, like the famous 1997 Ryder Cup venue, Valderrama, as well as courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazzio, Steve, and Jose Maria Olazabal – great courses, designed by great golfers.
