Our Choice Of The Best Golf Courses In Costa de la Luz

Hugging the west coast of Andalucia, Costa De La Luz is a region steeped in history and blessed with the beauty of stunning beaches and remarkable Spanish landscape.

All of which is reflected admirably in the golf courses across the region, boasting some absolute treats for all who decide to visit. In a country with so much choice when it comes to golf holidays, Costa De La Luz really ranks up there with the very best, thanks to its location and an array of hugely enjoyable courses to play.

Here’s a few of our favourites.

An absolute joy of inland golf, this classic Jack Nicklaus course has been a favourite destination for golf holidaymakers for decades.

Typical of a Nicklaus design, the course makes the most of the amazing Andalucian landscape, offering fairways that roll over the undulating terrain, and slick greens that require accurate approaches.

Always in pristine condition, the course is a fair challenge and a genuine delight to play from the first drive to final putt. No wonder that it’s regularly ranked within the top ten inland courses across all of Europe.

Favourably compared to Wentworth in England, it’s a former host of the Volvo PGA Masters, welcoming some of the world’s best. This really is a must-play course when visiting Costa De La Luz.

A sense of natural grandeur awaits you when you arrive at Montemedio. Flanked on all sides by towering trees, the course has established a reputation over the years as one of Spain’s finest destinations.

This is not a resort, but a golf club in the purest sense, the game itself placed front and centre. From the practice range and golf school to the course itself, you know you’re at a venue that lives and breathes the sport.

And why not?

While certainly a challenge, the 6,000m course is a joyous experience. Picturesque and pristine, Montemedio is a golfers golf course.

Visit Costa De La Luz and play this course.

Just ten minutes by car from the historic town of Cadiz, Villanueva is another epic experience in this amazing golfing destination.

With five lakes and ninety bunkers dotted across its 6,220m, there’s plenty to keep you focused when you play here. The wide fairways and immaculate greens keep it fair and the range of tees ensures a fun, yet challenging day out regardless of handicap.

A relatively flat track, the course is manageable for all and makes for a thoroughly pleasant round for any group of golfers visiting the region. With a warm Spanish welcome at the clubhouse, Villanueva promises an ideal day for a friendly Stableford on your group holiday in Costa De La Luz.

If you’re looking for a resort to immerse yourself in quality, challenging golf with luxury, pampering and high-end amenities at your fingertips, then welcome to Mar Menor. In the heart of the picturesque region of Murcia in the South-East of the country, Mar Menor offers not one but SIX championship courses.

Crafted by golfing luminaries such as Dave Thomas and the legendary Jack Nicklaus, this is a golfer’s resort, offering a new challenge every day of your stay. With the luxury of the resort’s 5-star hotel and just an hour from Alicante airport, Mar Menor is a perfect base for a golf break in Murcia, whether for a week or a weekend.

Another course ideally set up for the golf tourist, this is an example of natural beauty, rugged coastal charm and enough of a challenge to keep everyone interested.

Nuevo Portil, a short drive from Huelva, is set in a delightful backdrop of Spanish countryside with views out towards the rolling dunes and sprawling beaches along the coast.

Playing at just over 6,000m in length, the course is set up perfectly for those seeking a pleasant day on the course, without too much stress. Relatively open and with no more than gentle slopes to contend with, the beautifully-kept course is a terrific option if your golf party is of mixed ability.

Designed by former Ryder Cup star Manual Pinero, Sancti Petri Hills offers a quirky yet utterly delightful golf experience. Known as the golf garden, the course is lined by umbrella pines to give it a distinctly tropical feel.

The course is neatly laid out, with bunker placement and water hazards causing you to plot your way with care on most holes. And, with the pines offering borders to the fairways, keeping it straight off the tee is always helpful.

As well as the enjoyment of the course itself, Sancti Petri offers an ideal spot to base yourself on a golf holiday in Costa De La Luz, thanks to the abundance of accommodation, amenities and additional courses within a gap wedge away.

Challenges, quality and fun aplenty.
