Where to Book Some Great Golf Resorts in Spain
If you want to combine amazing prices with an incredible
golf hotel, Spain is where you need to go. The service is at
European levels, the grounds are incredible, the golf is
even better and the prices are affordable.
In Costa del Sol in Spain, you'll find the Valderrama Golf
Club in Sotogrande, a 6,857-yard, Robert Trent Jones
designed golf course that annually hosts the Volvo Masters
and has been described as the most visually striking course
in continental Europe.
But that's not the only hot course in the region or the
country. Costa del Sol is home to 36 courses alone and Spain
itself offers hundreds of both public and private courses
for you to enjoy. To find out more about the region and the
best courses, keep reading.
Andalusia and Coast Line
Costa del Sol is located in Andalusia and it's only a 50
minute flight from Madrid. Along this incredible coastline,
there are piles of amazing courses. Aside from the golf
though, you can enjoy beautiful Spanish towns, hike nearby
hills or simply lie by the beach and relax.
Recommended Golf Courses
For those not up to the demands of Valderrama, try The Golf
Club Marbella (011)-(34)-(5) 283-0500, another Robert Trent
Jones layout set amid the rolling countryside near this
famous resort town; the Real Club de Golf Las Brisas
(011)-(34)-(5) 281-0875, a favorite of King Juan Carlos I;
or the thrilling Golf Torrequebrada (011)-(34)-(5) 244-2742,
where the holes plunge into valleys and follow tortuous
routes over heaving hills.
Other Activities in the Area
The Costa del Sol region is bursting with new hotels and
even newer condo developments. But, you can still enjoy the
beach, marinas and the numerous casinos that pepper the
harbors and coasts. If you're feeling bored of golf, then
charter a boat for a fishing trip or take an excursion to
nearby cities such as Seville.
But no matter what your pleasure, whether it's golf, a
cultural adventure, or even a short ferry ride to Morocco
from the port town of Algeciras - at day's end, eat and
drink heartily, because on the Costa del Sol, particularly
at its many beachside restaurants, the no-frills cooking is
pescadito sardines and small squid or calamaritos, usually
roasted on spits and, best of all, served with famous sweet
Malaga wines.
Places to Stay
If you need a golf hotel, Spain has a number of great
resorts in the Andalusia region. When your taste is
old-school style and luxury, then try the Marbella Club
Hotel. On the other hand, if you want something a little
more modern and budget-friendly, try the Atalaya Park Golf
Hotel and Resort. Finally, for the best in five-star golf,
stay at the Fairplay Golf Hotel and Spa.
