Welcome
Welcome to Destination Golf
Spain 2018/2019
Destination Golf was launched to provide an essential
guide to golf in Spain, which we will update every Spring,
providing the golf traveller with the most up to date
information.
With so many great options available for a travelling golfer,
it can often be difficult to finalise a golfing itinerary, so our
team of representatives have visited all of the major regions
with their clubs in tow and created a Top100 list which we
recommend for 2018 & 2019.
Over 1.4 million Irish people travel to Spain each year.
It has long been a favourite for the Irish tourist due to its
proximity, accessibility, culture, and of course its climate –
it’s no surprise that record visitor numbers were recorded in
2017. For the travelling golfer, there is a vast assortment of
choice; Award winning Championship courses, Friendly ‘pay
and play’ courses, Leisurely resort courses or why not go
off the beaten track to find that hidden gem. There’s also a
diverse choice of golf destinations – all along the Southern
tip from Murica to Cadiz, up the east Coast from Almeria to
Girona, or any of the Canary or Balearic Islands. Madrid has
also emerged as a new golf destination option.
Spain is a fantastic country that is rich in history, passionate
about its culture, spoilt with scenery, dedicated to tourism
and fanatic about gastronomy. The contrasts in its terrain
provides an astonishing range of cuisine and dynamic wine
options, which have become more common place in the
Irish market, as Mediterranean cuisine has rapidly grown
in popularity.
I hope you enjoy Spain and all that it has to offer.
