Golf Holidays in Spain

Spain's best golf courses for groups

Spain has hosted the Ryder Cup and the Solheim Cup, and its best courses are on every golfer's list. These are the ones our groups ask for most.

• Real Club Valderrama (Costa del Sol) – Host of the 1997 Ryder Cup and one of the most famous courses in Europe.
• Finca Cortesín (Costa del Sol) – Host of the 2023 Solheim Cup, with a 5-star hotel on site.
• La Manga Club (Murcia) – Three courses, North, South and West, at one of Europe's best-known golf resorts.
• El Saler (Costa Blanca) – Links-style golf among the dunes south of Valencia, often ranked among Spain's best.
• Montecastillo (Costa de la Luz) – A Jack Nicklaus design near Jerez and a former Volvo Masters venue.
• Golf Son Muntaner (Majorca) – One of the island's top courses, just outside Palma.
• Buenavista Golf (Tenerife) – A Seve Ballesteros design with holes right on the Atlantic.

Planning a group golf trip to Spain

We've organised group golf trips for over 24 years. Here's how a Spain trip works with us:

• Small deposits secure your tee times and rooms early, which matters in peak months.
• Individual payments mean each golfer pays their own balance. No chasing your mates for money.
• One booking covers your hotel, tee times and transfers, so the organiser only deals with us.
• Flights are booked separately. We'll tell you which airport to use and sort everything once you land.
• Golf societies are welcome. See our GroupiaGolf Society page.

Beyond the golf

Marbella and Puerto Banús are the Costa del Sol's nightlife hotspots, while Benidorm keeps the Costa Blanca busy late into the night. On the Costa de la Luz, add a sherry bodega tour in Jerez or a day in Seville. Palma's old town is great for an evening out in Majorca, and from the Costa Brava you can easily spend a day in Barcelona.
