Golf Hotel Spain: The Best Golf Hotel and Resorts in Spain
Custom Search
If you're looking for a European-quality golf hotel, Spain is the place to be. The courses are amazing, the amenities are continental and the service is incredible.
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 all, the area is home to 36 different courses and has become a magnet for golfers worldwide. To learn more about Spain golf resorts and regions, keep reading.
Andalusia and Coast Line
In Andalusia, which is only 50 minutes by air from Madrid, vacationers can golf at numerous acclaimed courses, hit the beach, drive to picturesque hill towns known for their sherry grape fields, or just take life easy, sipping sangria while watching flamenco dancers in a seaside nightclub.
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
Along the fabled coastline, now bursting with hotels, marinas and casinos, there are also many small harbors where boats can be chartered for fishing expeditions and water skiing.
Yet if visitors have already found enough water on golf courses, they should consider other diversions, such as excursions to Grenada, Seville and small whitewashed towns in the Sierra Nevadas first settled by the Phoenicians and Romans centuries ago.
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.
This is 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.
