A Long Weekend of Golf on the Costa del Sol

Spain’s “Costa del Golf” is built for a long weekend: fly into Málaga, and within 45 minutes you are in Sotogrande or Marbella with dozens of courses on the doorstep. Three or four days is all you need for a proper golf hit.

The plan

Base yourself in Sotogrande — the most concentrated golf in southern Spain. SO/ Sotogrande (from £386pp (≈ €445) (≈ $515) (≈ CA$725) (≈ AU$735) (≈ NZ$875) (≈ CHF 415) (≈ kr 4,945) (≈ kr 4,955) (≈ kr 3,355)) puts Almenara, La Reserva, San Roque and the legendary Valderrama all within minutes. For five-star links-style golf, Fairmont La Hacienda (from £549pp (≈ €635) (≈ $735) (≈ CA$1,025) (≈ AU$1,045) (≈ NZ$1,255) (≈ CHF 595) (≈ kr 7,035) (≈ kr 7,045) (≈ kr 4,775)) has two courses on site and San Roque next door.

  • Friday: Land at Málaga, transfer, evening in Sotogrande marina.
  • Saturday: The San Roque Club (Old) — a true championship test.
  • Sunday: Almenara or La Reserva — modern, scenic, generous off the tee.
  • Monday: Optional Marbella round at Rio Real before flying home.

Want a bucket-list round? We can arrange a tee time at Valderrama, host of the 1997 Ryder Cup — see our guide to building a trip around it.

What it costs

Long weekends start from around £386 (≈ €445) (≈ $515) (≈ CA$725) (≈ AU$735) (≈ NZ$875) (≈ CHF 415) (≈ kr 4,945) (≈ kr 4,955) (≈ kr 3,355) per person including stay, green fees and transfers.
