These courses range in complexity from simple 9-hole courses for the beginner to PGA-rated courses like Valderrama in the province of Cadiz. This concentration of quality golf courses, combined with the sunny and warm winter climate, has made it unrivalled as a winter golf destination for northern Europeans. Many European players have, in turn, emerged as serious forces at all levels of golf.
When Valderrama was chosen to host the Ryder Cup in 1997, Andalucia received universal recognition as the finest winter golf resort in Europe. The flood of advance golf reservations that were made well into the 21st century led to a flurry of new golf courses being built.
For a snowbound, frustrated golfer desperate to play in the sunshine, the pull of the Andalucian golf courses is irresistible. Course owners are re-investing into their courses to improve their quality still further and there are no longer any weak links. Each course offers its own kind of challenge on perfect fairways and greens.
The general infrastructure from Málaga to Gibraltar has improved beyond recognition and this improvement has now extended around the Mediterranean coast to the Atlantic coast's Costa de la Luz. The provinces of Cadiz and Huelva offer a number of excellent, quality courses that provide memorable challenges for all levels of golfing enthusiasts.
In the other direction, the provinces of Grenada and Almeria also offer fine courses and services for the golf fanatic. And although the inland provinces of Jaen, Cordoba, and Sevilla are not known as golf destinations, the numbers of courses in these areas are also increasing.
Andalucia is a golfer's paradise and golf tourism is increasing by leaps and bounds. Come and experience what the region has to offer and remember to book your holiday early!
