Best Golf Courses in Spain

Host nation of the 1997 Ryder Cup, home to some of Europe’s premier golf courses, birthplace of one of the modern greats… and the list goes on. Spain’s golfing portfolio is, without doubt, one of the best in continental Europe containing a variety of stunning championship courses that cater to every golfer’s needs.

There are a total of 398 golf courses in Spain with 70 golf courses within the world renowned Costa del Sol that stretches along the South Coast, where the mediterranean sea meets the perfectly manicured fairways of southern Spain’s prime golfing real estate.

Finca Cortesin is well and truly a modern day monster measuring in at 7,500 yards from the championship tees. However, it is not just the enormous size of the course that poses a threat to the visiting golfer but also its cleverly undulating fairways which if missed lead to penalising rough or water.

Set in the magnificent mountains of the Costa Del Sol, the course has been carved beautifully into the natural landscape which gives it the varying terrain. The course also has European pedigree and has been the host of the Volvo World Matchplay on 3 occasions. For those looking to test the game on one of Europe’s leading courses then be sure to get yourself to Finca Cortesin.e accessible for golfers of all skill levels.

Easily one of the regions more well known courses, El Saler sits in the heart of the Albufera Nature reserve and skirts the stunning mediterranean coastline. Having previously hosted the European Tour’s Spanish Open, the course is geared up to test even the best golfers.

Once seen as one of Europe’s best golf courses, the unique nature of its layout (winding through woodland and hugging the coast) creates a fantastic golfing experience for everyone to enjoy.
