Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr and provides a wonderful feel: a mix of countryside and seaside golf. Many strategically placed bunkers and water hazards await you on this ‘battleground’ as described by Jones himself. Fun and thought provoking golf. Yes please.
Costa de la Luz
Costa de la Luz is located between the Costa del Sol and the Algarve in Portugal. More specifically it is on the coastline running along both the provinces of Cadiz and Huelva. The golf on offer is PURE.
El Rompido – Huelva, Costa de la Luz
El Rompido is located in the province of Huelva. If you don’t like to travel too far from your resort when playing golf on holiday, El Rompido has 36 holes on-site.

Costa del Almeria
Slightly lesser known than other regions, Costa del Almeria is peaceful and an ideal destination for some R&R and must be mentioned in our Guide to Golf in Andalucia. Mountain backdrops make up the views and there are plenty of stunning sandy beaches to soak up the sunshine after your round.
Valle del Este – Almeria
This is not the longest Championship course by any means, but wow, it makes you think. You can’t reach for the driver on every tee here. Designers have sculpted each hole around sandy wasteland and there are semi-blind holes and elevations a plenty. It regularly features in the Top 100 Courses in all of Spain.
Sevilla
Sevilla is the capital of Andalucia and famous for Flamenco dancing. When you’re not on the golf course here, we highly recommend walking the maze of narrow streets, tasting tapas whilst soaking up the history at the Gothic Cathedral.
Real Club de Sevilla
Designed by Jose Maria Olazabal, Real Club de Seville is a must play when visiting this gorgeous region. Practice your short game before stepping foot on this golf course, as this is where you will find the most challenges. It is ranked 7th in the Top 100 Courses in all of Spain. The course has hosted the Spanish Open – including the 100th Anniversary of the event.
