Best golf destinations in Spain

There can almost be too many options when looking at golfing holidays to Spain. Between the glorious sunshine, superb courses, exquisite cuisine, and unlimited options for off-course activities, it can be hard to know where to start.

Fortunately, our expert sales team are here to help make choosing your next break a doddle – why not give them a call? However, if you’re just beginning your research and looking to get up to speed, we’ve compiled a list of our 9 best golf destinations in Spain!

We’ve got several fantastic resorts in the area, including The Westin La Quinta, Sol Marbella Estepona Atalya Park, Hotel Guadalmina Spa and Golf Resort, and Rio Real Golf Hotel & Wellness Resort. All of these are perfect for a no-fuss break, with everything you need right there on-site… including the golf. However, all of these are also ideally located for exploring the wider beaches and towns in the area too, if you find yourself with a spare afternoon.

Those looking for a serious golfing treat should consider Sotogrande for their next golf getaway. The beautiful coastal setting is home to some of the strongest layouts in Europe, including the famous Ryder Cup host course, Valderrama.

There are also the world-class designs at Real Sotogrande and La Reserva Club, which in isolation are worth building a trip around! If all that wasn’t enough, there’s also two great courses at San Roque, as well as another European great at Finca Cortesin – 2023 Solheim Cup host and often ranked as one of the best golf courses in Spain. Add to this the two courses at Alcaidesa Links Golf Resort, which sits 15 minutes south of the town centre, and it’s easy to see why this is one of Spain’s best golf destinations.

With such strong courses in the area, it’s no surprise to learn that Sotogrande is also home to some of the best hotels in our Spanish portfolio. There are five-star options at SO/ Sotogrande and Finca Cortesin Hotel which can make for unforgettable breaks. However, we also love the 1960’s American-inspired Hotel Encinar de Sotogrande which can even be booked with its own golf pass to take advantage of the many great courses in the area.

Nestled in the northeast of Catalonia, Girona is a beautiful and historic city, and is very often underappreciated. However, with stunning local architecture, Medieval walls, and its famous Jewish Quarter, it's ideal for a day trip when you’re staying nearby.

The big draw here is Camiral Golf, a Quinta do Lago Resort, with two of Spain’s top golf courses and unrivalled practice facilities. It is an absolute golfer’s paradise and somewhere you can get lost in the sport throughout your break. To bolster the golf course offering, the destination revamped and opened the five-star Hotel Camiral, a Quinta do Lago Resort which is a truly spectacular hotel. If you’re looking for an on-site destination, packed with class – there are few places in Europe better suited.
