The Costa del Sol has come to be known as the Costa del Golf in recent years. The traditional things that have benefited the typical tourist over the last four decades have also to some extent caused an increase in the amount of people that come to the Costa del Sol to play golf. The climate and the long hours of sunshine provide a perfect opportunity in which to practise the sport, and each year the clubs and courses are visited by an ever increasing number of enthusiasts and professionals. The long hours of sunshire that the Costa del Sol receives has established the region as a firm favourite amongst golf players.

Located on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, in the heart of the Costa del Sol, thanks to good communication infrastructure (new motorways, railways and proximity to the airport), Fuengirola is still one of the favourite tourist destinations for Spaniards and foreigners to enjoy relaxing days of playing golf.

Apart from offering such a warm climate, the mountains, slopes and valleys provide a wonderful scenic backdrop to the game; this is especially evident on some of the famous courses throughout the Costa del Sol, which is why the Costa del Sol has hosted major PGA tournament, and had previously given the privilege of hosting the first Ryder Cup competition for Europe outside of the UK.

With the growing reputation for prestige golf courses within the Costa del Sol, there is certainly somewhere for the amateur or the professional to play a few rounds in the glorious Mediterranean sunshine.
