Let’s discover what Spain has to offer!
Around 300 days of sun a year
Good news! In Spain, you can play golf throughout the whole year without having to worry about weather conditions. In regions like The Canary Islands, the average annual temperature is over 20 degrees Celsius. Southern areas of Andalusia receive about 3,000 hours of sunshine annually. Additionally, regions like Catalonia, Valencia, and Murcia benefit from the Mediterranean’s mild winter temperatures. Spain’s amazing weather ensures a very long golf season.
World-renowned destinations
In Costa del Sol, near Malaga, you can find what is the golf capital of Europe, Marbella. This place offers numerous prestigious courses. Generally, the south of Andalusia is highly appreciated by golf lovers, and there are many well-known clubs around Malaga and on the Costa de Luz (in Cadiz and Huelva). Other destinations that have very interesting options are the Costa Brava area (in Catalonia), the Costa Cálida (in the Region of Murcia) and the Region of Valencia in addition to the wonderful Canary and Balearic Islands. The options are endless.
You can choose to play overlooking the sea, in rural areas, amidst mountains, and even in big cities. The choice is yours!
Outstanding international connections
Travelling to Spain is now easier than ever! If you set off from Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia or the UAE, you are just one flight away from the most important airports in Spain. There are multiple direct connections to cities like Madrid, Barcelona or Malaga. These cities are very close to main golf courses, and other important golfing destinations.
You can combine golfing with anything you or your travel companion like
Do you like good food? Do you enjoy art and culture? Do you love to relax in spas? Do you prefer accommodation with character? In Spain, you’ll have no problem combining golf with these pleasures for various reasons. Costa del Sol, Costa de la Luz and Costa Brava areas boast a wide range of restaurants with Michelin Stars, and the regions in general have delicious local cuisine, where you will also be able to find halal-friendly options. In other areas such as Navarre, golf can be combined with gourmet gastronomy. If you are keen on combining golf with culture, you can do so by playing in cities such as Madrid and Barcelona or even in the vicinity of one of the 15 World
Heritage Cities by UNESCO. The main golf courses are often found in luxury resorts, and the Paradors of Malaga and El Saler have outstanding golf courses. Another option?
Kick back in a spa like the one on in La Toja island (Galicia), and check out its amazing golf course, in a privileged setting.

You will find options to enjoy family holidays, relax and play golf throughout Spain. There are specialized resorts with golf courses adapted to all levels and ages, which offer services, activities and entertainment alternatives for everyone to enjoy.
Courses
by great designers
Many of the best golf course architects are
responsible for the design of the courses you can play on in Spain. For example, the courses at the Club de Golf Valderrama and Real Club Sotogrande (both on the Costa de la Luz) are the work of Robert Trent Jones. Cabell Robinson designed the Finca El Cortesín Golf Club (in Costa del Sol) and La Reserva de Sotogrande (Costa de la Luz).
Former golfer Neil Coles is behind the PGA Catalunya Resort (Girona), and Javier Arana has worked on the El Saler Golf Course (region of Valencia) and Aloha Golf (Marbella).
In Cantabria, you can even play in the Real
Golf de Pedreña, where Spanish champion Severiano Ballesteros assisted in the design.
Courses for all levels
Throughout the year, this country hosts international tournaments and many professionals choose to train here. However, Spain also offers options for any amateur or first-time golfer. There are courses for very different levels and many clubs offer learning and practical courses for all ages. spain.info

Indeed, it is possible for the keen golfer to travel the country to play on specifically designed courses or those made famous by former and current golf champions and tournaments.
Well over 200 golf courses, each with its own characteristics and environments, catering to both professional and enthusiastic amateurs, are available for those determined to test their golfing skills against the most challenging courses, or to simply enjoy a calm and refreshing game of playing one’s best, regardless of the outcome.

KUALA LUMPUR GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
The Els Club Teluk Datai – Langkawi
Nestled between the Andaman Sea and lush mountains on Langkawi Island, the Els Club Teluk Datai was recognised as one of the best new courses in Asia. Originally built in 1992, the jungle-lined course underwent an extensive redesign by South African legend Ernie Els and reopened for play in early 2014. The par 72, 6,760-yard layout plays into the foothills of the Mat Cincang mountain range and out to the sea, featuring five sea-fronting holes. The course has a unique feature –the total absence of bunkers, as Els and
his design team felt that the forest setting provides enough natural hazards.
The par-three 17th plays over a small cove and offers superb views of the Andaman Sea, as does the par-five 7th, which zigzags its way to a beachside peninsula green.
The Els Club Desaru Coast (Ocean Course) – Johor
The stunning 27-hole Ocean Course, designed by the club’s namesake and fourtime major champion Ernie Els, commands
a stunning location overlooking the aweinspiring South China Sea.
The Ocean Course comprises three 9-hole courses, namely Coast, Lakes, and Ridge Course, offering unique on-site individual variability. Each layout has its own character and personal touches from Els while drawing similar inspiration from the famous links courses spread across the UK, with large rolling greens and tight run-off areas designed to place a premium on a sharp short game.
THE ELS CLUB TELUK DATAI
THE ELS CLUB DESARU COAST (OCEAN COURSE)
THE ELS CLUB DESARU COAST (VALLEY COURSE)
The Els Club Desaru Coast (Valley Course) – Johor
The Valley Course is a remarkable 18-hole golf course designed by Ernie Els’ close associate and three-time major champion, Vijay Singh, together with the Ernie Els Design Team.
The Valley Course traverses the valleys and streams of Desaru Coast with significant
elevation changes, providing picturesque scenery. This championship course spans 41 hectares with 166 bunkers, enabling a challenging and rewarding feat. The small greens and sharp undulations mean that approach play must be precise in order to prevail against the course. The layout is as dramatic as you’ll find anywhere in the world, with Singh using the slopes on the property to perfection, creating a perfect mix of testing shots and vistas that will provide memories to last a lifetime.
Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club – Sabah
Operated by the Shangri-La Group, Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club offers a Signature 18hole Championship Golf Course designed by award-winning Australian golf course architect Ted Parslow. Wetland areas thus form the most distinctive feature of the course, bordered by the Tambalang and Mengkabong Rivers from which the two nines take their names. Water comes into play on virtually every hole, although Parslow’s design allows golfers to choose lines of play that suit their ability and confidence.

The dramatic landscapes of Seychelles add another level of complexity, demanding quick decision-making and adaptability. The 15th hole stands out as a signature challenge, featuring a tee box elevated 50 metres above the green, with stunning views over Anse Georgette beach.

For those seeking a distinctive golfing adventure, Qatar’s sand courses offer a glimpse into the sport’s origins in the region. Clubs like Dukhan Golf Club and Mesaieed Golf Club provide courses devoid of grass, where fairways are desert expanses and greens are compacted sand mixed with oil, known as ‘browns.’ Golfers carry their own piece of astroturf to play shots from the fairway areas, adding a unique twist to the traditional game.
Qatar’s diverse golfing landscape ensures that every golfer, from beginners to seasoned professionals, finds a course suited to their preferences. Whether enjoying the lush greens of a championship course, the relaxed atmosphere of an island putting green, or the challenge of a sand course, Qatar offers an exceptional golfing experience set against the backdrop of its remarkable landscapes.
