Planning Your Golf Holiday in Spain
Planning a golf holiday in Spain starts with choosing the right destination. Some regions are known for championship golf and established resorts, while others offer quieter surroundings, excellent value and courses that are ideal for longer stays. The best choice depends on how much golf you want to play, when you’re travelling and the type of holiday you’re planning.
The Costa del Sol continues to attract golfers looking for a wide choice of courses and premium golf resorts. The Costa Blanca combines quality golf with excellent value, while Murcia has become a popular destination for golfers who enjoy staying at integrated golf resorts. Mallorca and Tenerife provide a different experience again, pairing island golf with excellent hotels and reliable playing conditions.
Choosing between them isn’t always straightforward. We’ll recommend destinations that suit your group, reserve your preferred tee times and build a package around your travel dates, accommodation requirements and budget.
Spain’s Most Popular Golf Holiday Destinations
Every golfing region in Spain offers something different. Some are built around internationally recognised golf resorts, while others are better suited to golfers looking for quieter courses, coastal towns or year-round sunshine. The destinations below represent some of the most popular areas we arrange holidays to, each offering a different golfing experience.
Why Golfers Return to Spain Year After Year
Spain offers one of the widest selections of golf anywhere in Europe. Championship venues, traditional parkland layouts, modern golf resorts and coastal courses can all be found within the same country, allowing golfers to choose destinations that match the type of trip they want to enjoy.
The golfing season is another major advantage. While many destinations become difficult to play during the winter months, regions such as the Costa del Sol, Murcia, Alicante and the Canary Islands continue to provide excellent playing conditions. That flexibility allows golfers to travel throughout much of the year rather than limiting trips to the summer.
Years of investment in golf tourism have also created a wide range of accommodation, practice facilities and golf resorts. From small groups travelling for a long weekend to larger golf societies arranging an annual tour, Spain has destinations that comfortably cater for different budgets, group sizes and playing standards.
