Mainland Europe is home to countless places that are well set up for a golf trip, but there are only a handful that literally tick every single box.<\/p>\n

The Costa del Sol is definitely one of them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Whether it\u2019s just some friendly golf on nice and easy resort courses, with more of an emphasis on the apres golf, A.K.A \u201ca few\u201d cervezas in the sunshine before a night on the town (cue headaches on the first tee tomorrow), or a more relaxed vibe in the evenings with some tapas and red wine before teeing it up the next day at Spain\u2019s best golf courses, as well as everything in between; it\u2019s hardly a surprise that for many years Spain\u2019s \u201cSun Coast\u201d has been one of the most sought after golf holiday destinations in Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My golfing history in the Costa del Sol all kicked off soon after I joined Your Golf Travel in 2011, and I\u2019ve been lucky enough to travel Spain\u2019s southern coast extensively since then as well.<\/p>\n

From my first trip here in 2011, to the absolutely crazy Greatest18 Tour with Mark Crossfield<\/a>, Coach Lockey and my colleague Oliver (a Your Golf Travel old-timer…more from him later) and my subsequent trip back to the 5 most popular courses from that tour, again with Mark Crossfield, Coach and this time Dan Hendriksen; I\u2019ve been there and done it all, and would recommend the Costa del Sol to golfers of all persuasions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”31150,31151,31152″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”7″ load_in_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Here\u2019s my guide (with a little help from my colleague Oliver) to Golf in The Costa del Sol, and why YOU might want to head to Spain on your next golf holiday\u2026[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Golf & Nightlife: Marbella & Puerto Banus<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This is where my Costa del Sol golfing journey with Your Golf Travel all kicked off, and it\u2019s probably fair to say it was a baptism of fire, with flights from London at the crack of dawn, opening tee shots about 4 hours later, and copious cervezas going down not long after that, all followed by a night out in Puerto Banus.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the term? Wash, rinse, repeat? Yep…stick with that gameplan for a couple of days and end it all with a Sunday evening flight back to London and you\u2019ll quickly see just how easy and convenient it is to head to the Costa del Sol for a weekend golf holiday, all without even taking any time off work!<\/p>\n

But what about the golf?<\/p>\n

Well, I\u2019m still suffering from flashbacks of hitting my approach shot into the 18th at Los Naranjos<\/a> left of the clubhouse (anyone who\u2019s played this course will know just how \u201cimpressive\u201d a feat this is) so I\u2019ll leave it to Oliver to tell you guys about this course.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”10px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”2px” column_border_color=”#006699″ bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=”basic” image=”30011″ quote=”Los Naranjos is a really fun course, there\u2019s plenty of risk and reward and very fair if you\u2019re a bit wide off the tee. The 18th is a superb hole and despite me messing it up both times I\u2019ve played it, the climb up to the clubhouse with water ready to catch any offline shots makes it entertaining viewing if you\u2019ve got mates already in the 19th.<\/p>\n

The last visit there was part of the #Greatest18 trip where we played with Mark Crossfield and Coach Lockey. Whilst it was a great trip and we played lots of courses, I left my game in the UK. The start-stop nature of playing one hole, driving to another course didn\u2019t help my confidence and seem to remember donating a ball to the water on the left of the green at Los Naranjos.<\/p>\n

Another course we\u2019ve played not far from there was Santa Clara. I possibly, maybe, turned up to golf lacking in sleep but seem to remember some very excellent golf being played. I played against John McGuffie, another YGT team member, who came back strongly and I ended up making a birdie on the last to half the match. There was plenty of water in play but was a really playable course, a welcome thing when on holiday, you don\u2019t have to play off the back tees all the time, I\u2019ve done enough of that!” name=”Oliver”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”10px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”2px” column_border_color=”#006699″ bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=”basic” image=”30013″ quote=”Ah yes Santa Clara! I actually played really well that day too. In fact I was in a group with Rob from YGT who was having the round of his life and I managed to beat him on the last hole…actually felt a little bit guilty about that but I guess the best thing about playing golf on holiday in Spain is being able to sit in the sun and have a beer or two to either celebrate a win or drown your sorrows!<\/p>\n

I remember the hotel we stayed at well too. We were based at the amazing H10 Anadalucia Plaza for that FAM Trip back in 2011, and if being able to seamlessly cope with 40+ Your Golf Travel staff members all arriving for check-in at the same time, and accommodating us perfectly throughout our weekend, isn\u2019t a measure of the quality of service on offer here, I don\u2019t know what is!<\/p>\n

You can walk down to Playa Puerto Banus in 20 minutes (cabs take 5) and this is where you\u2019ll find more restaurants and bars than you can poke a stick at. If you\u2019re looking to enjoy a meal by the marina, then cut loose until the wee hours of the morning, this is the place to be! Of course, if you have some down time during the day when you\u2019re not playing golf and fancy a bit of beach life, you\u2019re in the right place.
\nThere are countless other hotels and golf courses in this neck of the woods too, so there are options to suit all budgets and tastes, but as we\u2019ve said, if a night out with your pals is just as important as the golf during your trip, you can\u2019t go wrong if you head to Marbella or Puerto Banus.” name=”Rory”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

When I come to think of it actually, I think La Reserva might be my favourite golf course in Spain.

There\u2019s no getting away from that, and while I like a challenge, La Reserva just shades it for me, with a slightly more relaxed test of golf on offer.<\/p>\n

These are two of the best I\u2019ve played in Spain and considering Valderrama is ranked even higher, I can only look forward to heading back to Sotogrande to experience more of the best golf courses in Spain.<\/p>\n
