Spain’s popular coastal destination the Costa del Sol has for a long time been affectionately called by another name by the sports enthusiasts who head there on holiday: the Costa del Golf. The name speaks for itself. This sunny region in the south of Spain boasts a particularly high concentration of golf courses with over 50 in the area, of all types and catering for all abilities. The celebrated Valderrama championship course is a good example of the world class facilities available. Designed by noted architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr, the course was the first in continental Europe to host the Ryder Cup, in 2002. Happily, if you want to get a head start on your golf career, there are plenty of cheap hotels to be found in the Costa del Sol at the moment.
