    Best golf courses: Spain

    Golf in Spain: The Costa de Sol on the south coast is often referred to as the Costa del Golf, with the biggest concentration of sunshine and top-quality golf anywhere in Europe. Spain's east coast from top to toe is also excellent, though the courses are much more spread out.Occupying the largest share of the hot and (usually) sunny Iberian penisula, this historic and often beautiful country plays host to millions of Europe's holidaymakers - all-year round. To make the most of your golfing trip, and to help in your planning, you can look up the location of the best courses in Spain on our customised maps.

      Latest Golf Course Reviews

      Traigh Golf Course (pronounced "try", and meaning "beach" in Gaelic): You'll find this nine-hole seaside gem on the scenic coast road (as opposed to the more inland and quicker A830) between Arisaig and Morar. Although not on the well-beaten path of Scotland's "trophy" courses, if you are passing through this area, it's a must play.
