Spain, especially Marbella, with all its natural surroundings and amenities offers an amazing outing for golf enthusiasts of all ages. Situated in the heart of Golf Valley with amazing views of the Marbella coastline, La Quinta Golf Course is one of those elegantly designed courses that pledge a comfortable stay and a great golfing experience.

Designed by Manuel Pinero and Antonio Garcia Garrido, the La Quinta Golf Course is the right place to get some golfing lessons for all levels. Since its inauguration in 1989, the La Quinta Golf Course has been placed amongst the most preferred destinations among golfers who come here to enjoy their holidays amidst a rustic and pleasant atmosphere.

The designer of La Quinta Golf Course, Manuel Pinero, is a professional Spanish golfer and a three times winner of the World Cup Championships. Representing Spain in a two man team, he won the 1976 and 1982 World Cup team titles, while in the latter year he also grabbed the individual title.

There are in fact three courses in the La Quinta Golf club with nine holes each which offers an option to the participants to make a combination of their own choice considering their playing abilities to play an 18-hole game.

In the course A San Pedro, there are open fairways and short yardage, while course B Ronda has a bit more difficult greens with narrow fairways. This leads to the Ronda Mountains and so the name of the course. Although the course C or Guadaiza considered easier than B, the presence of slopes and few dog legs demands extra care for good shot selection.

In addition, the Guadaiza course’s specialty is its three successive par 5 holes, four par 4s and two par 3s. Furthermore, the panoramic views of the Sierra Blanca mountain range would be fairly pleasing while playing your favourite game of golf.

The academy La Quinta Golf has also designed special courses for children, beginners and groups of friends. Individual classes can also be arranged in direct talk with the club management to master any specific skills like slice, draw, hook or push.

Spain is a paradise for golfers of all ages and races. Folk come from the UK, Ireland, Holland, Germany-especially from the colder northern countries where the rain and cold can severely limit the golfing fanatic’s pleasure!

Here golf is an all year sport, only the odd very rainy day in November and February can stop play. Temperature is never a hindrance-you can always have lunch and chill out in the clubhouse pool during the midday heat of the summer months!

Andalucía and the Costa del Sol (or now as some of the motorway signs have it the Costa del Golf!) is a difficult place for a golfer –too much choice! There are over 30 courses and all are in beautiful locations and normally have spectacular sea views often right across the straits of Gibraltar to Africa. These great courses combined with the wonderful entertainments available for children i.e. the beach, the pool and riding-make Spain perfect for the golfing family as well as groups of friends.

The majority of golf courses have beautiful hotels on them often with very exclusive facilities such as Spas and health clinics. These can be expensive but most courses have “urbanisations” on them. These are purpose built apartments and houses which can often be rented out and some have great views over the greens.

For the dedicated fanatic buying a golf course property “off-plan” while it is still in the construction phase is often the most economic way acquiring a lifelong holiday home Towns and villages around golf courses offer slightly cheaper properties to rent or buy. If you are of a less adventurous nature and like your holiday planned for you, travel companies now offer all sorts of golf holidays from family and beginner’s packages to golf tour type holidays where you can move from one course to another to another in order to appreciate the variety and beauty of the Spanish courses.

Company and corporate holidays are offered too, which when combined with the sightseeing and the gastronomic opportunities, are an ideal way to motivate staff or impress clients!

As in the rest of Europe golfing is not a cheap sport (expect to pay up to 200 euros a round), but the courses are world class. The famous Valderrama course, home to the Volvo Masters, is also renowned for hosting the Ryder Cup and American Express championships in the nineties. Designed by Robert Trent Jones it really is a beauty.

The nearby San Roque courses, also breathtaking, are presided over by Seve Ballesteros. The Spanish Open was held here this year. The Costa del Sol is dotted with courses all the way along and lots more are in the pipeline if the planning and water situation can be solved. Golf is a big employer in this part of the world!

Other regions of Spain can’t be ignored; Murcia has the prestigious La Manga resort with three very fine courses, Almeria has desert golf courses complete with cacti and agave, Catalonia has excellent courses as does the Costa Blanca and all the Balearic and Canary islands.

A big golf growth area is the Costa de la Luz on the Atlantic Coast where life is still slightly more peaceful than the noisier Mediterranean resorts .Try the Dunas de Donaña in the Donaña National Park!

Altogether Spain has over 230 courses and counting! Enjoy yourself!
