Welcome to Destination Golf
Spain 2015/2016
Destination Golf Spain was launched to provide an essential guide to golf in
Spain. Across the following 152-pages, we hope to educate you about where to
play, where to stay and where to find the best deals.
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 – with record numbers logged for 2014. 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 trip from Murica to Cadiz,
up the east Coast from Almeria to Girona, or any of the Canary or Balearic
Islands.
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.
Across the last six years Destination Golf representatives has visited all of the
major golf destinations in Spain with their clubs in tow. In this publication we
will provide a short review of every course in these major golf destinations,
uniquely coded by their region, but it’s our “Editors Choice” recommendations
that deserve your best attention.
I hope you enjoy Spain and all that it has to offer.d all that it has to offer.
