How Many Golf Courses Are There in Spain?

With over 580 golf courses across the country, Spain is one of Europe’s leading golf destinations. Thanks to the warm climate and long hours of sunshine, golf can be enjoyed almost all year round.

A large number of these golf courses are located on the Costa del Sol, where there are more than 70 in a relatively small area. This is why the region is often called the “Costa del Golf”.

Why the Costa del Sol Is Europe’s Golf Hotspot

Living in Benalmádena, I see how golf is part of everyday life here. It’s not just for holidays. Many buyers choose property near golf courses for both lifestyle and investment reasons.

There are 71 golf courses listed on GolfPass in the Málaga region alone.

The Real Club Valderrama in Sotogrande is widely considered to be one of the best golf courses in Europe. It famously hosted the 1997 Ryder Cup and offers a challenging layout and premium facilities. The Villa Padierna Golf Club, situated between Marbella and Estepona, is renowned for its three courses — Flamingos, Alferini and Tramores — as well as its luxury resort and sea views. Aloha Golf Club in Marbella’s Golf Valley is a favourite among international players, known for hosting professional tournaments and offering wide fairways, lakes and beautiful mountain scenery.

You have everything close by—sea views, well-maintained courses, international communities, and easy airport access. This combination is hard to find elsewhere in Europe.
