The renowned Costa del Sol (aka “Costa del Golf”) extends along more than 100 kilometers of picturesque coastline and verdant mountain hinterland.<\/p>\n

It covers the whole of M\u00e1laga province – from Nerja in the east to Manilva in the west, and all the way up to Ronda and Antequera (the latter Andaluc\u00eda’s geographic centre) – and the Mediterranean end of C\u00e1diz province.<\/p>\n

The Coast is home to more golf courses (78 – including nine-hole and par-three layouts) than any other area in Spain, and around two-thirds of Andaluc\u00eda’s total. Ample reason, therefore, why it is recognised as Europe’s premier golfing destination… <\/p>\n

Within this diverse coastal, and inland, expanse, several municipalities stand out as key hotspots for holiday visitors and residential tourists, offering not only international-quality golf amenities but also an exceptional diversity of restaurants, beach clubs, nightlife, boutique shopping, cultural and historic attractions, and amusement and adventure parks.<\/p>\n

Most of the courses are located in Marbella, Estepona, Benahav\u00eds, Sotogrande and Mijas, but the sport can also be enjoyed in many other Costa del Sol areas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Away from the Coast’s “hotspots”, golfers can enjoy a round – and classic “19th hole” pleasures and attractions – at an exceptional diversity of courses on the coast and inland.<\/p>\n

Inland… Antequera (the geographic centre of Andaluc\u00eda), Alhaurin el Grande and Alhaur\u00edn de la Torre (conveniently located close to M\u00e1laga’s international airport – although not under its main flight path!) and Casares (including Finca Cortes\u00edn, three times the venue for the World Match Play Championship).<\/p>\n

On the coast… Manilva (home to the Robert Trent Jones-designed La Duquesa).<\/p>\n

And east of M\u00e1laga, in the Axarqu\u00eda area… A\u00f1oreta and Baviera.<\/p>\n
