Golf Vacations Spain
By admin
If you love golf vacations Spain is not be missed. The combination of its unique culture, ancient history and almost perfect climate, together with the large number of championship level golf courses, makes Spain one of the world’s best golf locations and top of the list for tens of thousands of golfing tourists every year.
As a golfer you will find everything in Spain golf courses, from outstanding practice facilities, right through to championship level golf courses where the Ryder Cup and European Opens have been held. No matter what your handicap, you will love playing these world class courses, and get the opportunity to improve your personal golf game. In addition to this, Spain also boasts some of the world’s best teaching professionals who are attracted here by the quality of the courses and the climate - whatever level you play at, we can all improve our game.
When planning your golf vacation in Spain, you might be surprised to find that you will have the widest variety of golf accommodation to choose from anywhere in Europe. Spain has more hotel rooms per head than almost anywhere else in the world, ranging from budget apartments through to truly luxurious purpose built golf resorts, like the newly-built Gran Hotel Villaitana in Alicante.
In terms of popularity and number of golf courses, the Costa del Sol is the top destination in Spain for golf, but you should not discount other regions, there are some real gems to be found if you know where to look. Murcia for example is home to the famous La Manga Club, where you will regularly find some of the world’s top sportsmen playing one of its three stunning courses.
The real beauty of taking a golf vacation in Spain is that, when you finish your round, you have the rest of Spain to explore - beautiful beaches, tapas bars, vibrant nightlife, Spain has it all. If I were to recommend golf vacations Spain would be extremely high on my list.

Golf Tee Times Spain
By admin
Your flights are booked, reservations made at a great Spanish golf resort, you just need to arrange your rounds of golf in Spain and book your golf tee times. Spain is fortunately well served by on-line reservation companies allowing you to book your golf tee times well in advance.
Two golf travel sites that are notably different from the rest are Golf Holidays Online.com and Your Golf Travel.com. Both have great information about golf vacations in Spain.
Golf Holidays Online.com
Known as Course Master Golf Holidays, they offer a complete service for golf vacations in Spain, from booking a single tee time, help with vacation rentals, right through to providing a custom design service for your entire golf vacation.
Golf Holidays Online will design a package for any sized group and claim that it is more cost effective than making all the arrangements yourself. One aspect of their service that I particularly like is their guaranteed pre-booked tee times which should take the heartache out of finding your favorite Spain golf courses fully booked during the busy summer months.
As well as Spain, they offer golf vacations in Portugal, Cyprus, Scotland, Ireland and all of the world’s best golf locations and always have local representatives on the ground.
Your Golf Travel.com
Their unique golf concierge service will take all the hassle out of planning and organizing your golf vacation by doing all the searching for you. They will negotiate the best rates available for you, whether you are a small group or looking to book a corporate golf day.
They have access to more than 300 golf resorts and venues in Europe, and their specialized local knowledge will help you squeeze every last drop of enjoyment out of your next golf vacation.
If I were to make one final recommendation about booking golf tee times Spain is enormously popular in the summer months and tee times are difficult to come by. Using a service such as the ones above, will help you get to play the most fashionable golf courses, particularly in July & August.

The Best Golf Resorts Spain
By admin
If you are searching for the perfect golf resorts Spain has an awesome selection to choose from, and achieving the right balance between location, facilities and accommodations will be the main factor in judging the success of your Spanish golf vacation. I want to take a look at 3 very different golf hotels Spain is famous for.
Hyatt Regency La Manga Club - 5 Star
La Manga Club is without doubt one of Europe’s top golf and sports resorts, which boasts something to do for virtually everyone. There are 3 championship level golf courses at La Manga (home of 5 Spanish Opens), as well as a first class tennis academy with 22 courts. There truly is no better place in Spain to test out your new ping golf clubs - the setting is perfect.
The resort also includes a diving school, large outdoor pool, squash courts and a fully equipped gymnasium.
If you are less energetic, choose from a wide range of massage therapies or beauty treatments in the day spa - you will love it.
The St. Regis Mardavall Resort Majorca - 5 Star
The St. Regis Mardavall Resort is something special, set against the beautiful Tramuntana Mountains facing the Mediterranean Sea, this place is a real Majorcan gem. The suites are luxurious with custom designed furnishings, and feature spacious balconies overlooking the Mediterranean or the tropical gardens.
As well as golf, other sporting options include tennis, water skiing, diving, windsurfing and sailing.
If you prefer less strenuous activities, the Arabella Spa will provide everything from Chinese medicine specialists through to an indoor pure mineral water swimming pool.
If you really want to dedicate yourself to idyllic relaxation, why not just settle down on one of their private yachts.
La Cala Golf & Resort Spa Mijas - 5 Star
Ideally situated between the 3 Mijas golf courses, this traditional Andalucian style resort is the largest golf resort in Spain. It’s 107 bedrooms boast wonderful views of the South Course which, in my opinion, are best viewed from your private terrace while you’re enjoying breakfast.
If you want to immerse yourself in golf, then this is undoubtedly the place for you. For the non golfers there is floodlit tennis, fully equipped gym and squash.
No golf resort nowadays is complete without a spa, and La Cala is no different. La Caracala Spa offers the chance to relax in beautiful surroundings and choose from the extensive and innovative treatments.
If I were to recommend golf resorts Spain has a number of first class resorts that would be top of my list. If you have any questions regarding any of the resorts I have mentioned please contact me at the Golf Vacations Spain Guide and I will do my best to help.
