Spain is one of the best destinations for a golf holiday. With varied landscapes, mild climate year-round, and a rich golf heritage, it offers something for every golfer. Whether you’re an amateur or a professional, Spain’s golf courses will make you smile.
Here are some of the best locations for a golf holiday in Spain and why they stand out.
Why Spain and Portugal for your golf holiday?
We have been organising golf holidays in Spain and Portugal since 1989. That’s over 30 years of experience. We know which courses work for which groups, which hotels our clients return to, and how to make the whole trip run smoothly from start to finish.
Costa del Sol
Known as the ‘Costa del Golf’, the Costa del Sol is one of the best golf destinations in Europe, if not the world. With more than 70 golf courses between Málaga and Gibraltar, you have plenty of choice.
More than 300 days of sunshine a year make it ideal for year-round golfing. Each course has its own clubhouse restaurant where you can sit down after your round and enjoy a proper meal with plenty of choice.
Top courses on the Costa del Sol
- Valderrama Golf Club: Home to the 1997 Ryder Cup and officially voted Europe’s No. 1 Golf Course.
- La Zagaleta: A splendid array of green tongues. This par-70 course merges golf with nature.
- Flamingos Golf Club: Located between Marbella and Estepona, noted for breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.
- La Cala Resort: Three 18-hole courses (America, Asia, Europe) designed by Cabell B. Robinson.
- Atalaya Golf & Country Club: Two superb 18-hole courses.
- Alcaidesa: Links and Heathland courses with outstanding Mediterranean views.
- Cabopino Golf: Located between Marbella and Mijas Costa, opposite the charming Cabopino Port.
- Santa Maria Golf & Country Club: Near Marbella with distracting views over the Mediterranean.
What else does the Costa del Sol offer?
Besides golf, you have beautiful beaches, excellent food, and plenty of cultural and historical sights in cities like Marbella, Málaga, and Ronda. There is a wide range of excellent restaurants to choose from. The area has a lively mix of beaches and nightlife if you want it, or quieter towns if you don’t.
Portugal
Portugal is Europe’s other year-round golfing destination. With mild winters, warm summers, and consistent sunshine, it sits alongside the Costa del Sol as one of the most popular golf holiday destinations in Europe.
Top courses in Portugal
- San Lorenzo: World-class golf course set alongside the Atlantic. Consistently ranked alongside the best courses in the world since 1988.
- Vale do Lobo Royal: The Algarve’s most senior golf resort, founded in 1962 and currently the largest luxury resort in Portugal.
- Quinta da Ria and Quinta da Cima: Two spectacular 18-hole courses situated in the Eastern Algarve.

- Aroeira: Two golf courses located 25 km from Lisbon in a protected pine woodland.
- Belas Clube Campo: Located 20 minutes north of Lisbon with magnificent views.
What else does Portugal offer?
Portugal offers stunning beaches, charming coastal towns, excellent seafood, and a more relaxed pace. It’s perfect for golfers who want great courses combined with beautiful scenery and Portuguese culture.
