HOW TO HAVE A BALL ON
THE COSTA DEL SOL
By Michael Wilson
The southernmost point of Europe - colloquially knows as the Costa del Sol – translated as the ‘coast of sun,’
is, with more than 300 days of guaranteed sunshine each year, most appropriately-named, and, with 60-plus
courses stretching along the Costa del Sol between Málaga in the east and Gibraltar in the west, well over 1,000
holes to play in invitingly warm weather, it’s arguably the undisputed Mecca for global golf. And, with a range
of nine and mostly 18-hole courses to choose from, the quality of courses and their condition is remarkably high,
whilst such high supply levels ensure that competition for visitors’ cash is intense, reflecting relatively prices low
by comparison with other, rival golf destinations.
