Welcome to Destination Golf Spain 2020 / 2021
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 2020 & 2021.
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.
