Golf Travel Spain    

Travel is easy, accommodation plentiful, the climate benign, the people relaxed, the beaches long and sandy, the food and drink easy to come by and full of regional variety. More than 50 million foreigners a year visit Spain, yet you can also travel for days and hear nothing but Spanish.

Geographically, Spain's diversity is immense. There are endless tracts of wild and crinkled sierra to explore, as well as some spectacularly rugged stretches of coast between the beaches.


Golf enthusiasts will find their plates full in Spain, its first rate courses are lushly green and meticulously kept and often in spectacular surroundings, often framed by mountains that loom in the distance or by the Mediterranean Sea. Golfing greats like Spain's own Severiano Ballesteros, Jack Niklaus and ... to mention but a few have designed several of the country's most prestigious golf courses. Because of the general enthusiasm for Spain's exceptional courses, the Ryder Cup was held for the first time in 1997 outside the U.S. and the British Isles and Spain was the country chosen for the event, which took place at Club Valderrama in Southern Spain.


While "Green Spain" is an expression used to promote the country's verdant north, in golfing terms green Spain exists all over the country. Andalucía's more than fifty deluxe golf courses, for example, are green-covered oases in one of the driest regions of the country. Mild temperatures and endless sunshine throughout the year mean that golfing can take place in any season, and Andalucía attracts avid fans from across the globe. Golfing options also extend into northern Spain, where pleasantly mild temperatures in summer bring exceptionally comfortable golfing conditions.
