Golf holidays in Spain are popular year round in many areas. The Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca have favourable weather even in winter for golfing. For this reason, most of the resorts are located along the Mediterranean coast. New courses are being built all the time in these areas to keep up with the demand.
The Costa Del Sol region of Spain has long been considered as the best golfing holiday destination in Europe. Other destinations have unsuccessfully tried to dethrone this region as the best, but have been unsuccessful. A Golf Holiday in this region of Spain is helped by competitively priced flights from low cost airlines from virtually every UK and Irish airport. Along with some of the most outstanding accommodation and golf courses that fit all budgets, there is nothing keeping you from experiencing “sunshine golf” at its very best.

Consider the size of the course. Most have either a nine or eighteen hole golf course. Whether you are playing nine or eighteen holes, keep good etiquette in mind. Politeness is part of Spanish culture, so don’t be rude to other groups on the course. Consideration is especially important during the busier seasons.
A common complaint among golfers is slow play by other groups. There is a lot you can do to avoid this. Be ready when it’s your turn to play a shot. Stay just behind the game in front of you to avoid longer waits for the group behind. Play your shot and move on. Mark your card at the next tee. Courtesy to other groups goes a long way toward everyone having a great time.
