300 DAYS A YEAR OF SUN AND GOLF!!

Over one hundred and eighty clubs -most 1with 8 hole courses- with over half a million hours of total playing time round the year make Spain Europe’s leading golfing destination. Modern course landscaping and design, varied layout and superb scenery, topflight sports equipment, expert course-professionals and a myriad of complementary services (gyms, swimming pools, saunas, and a long etc.) can be enjoyed in the warmth of a climate that ensures golfers 300 days of sunshine and golf per year.

Robert Trent Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Severiano Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazábal have all put their signature to some of the country’s most prestigious courses.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

There is much more golf to be played in Spain than any one golfer can realistically accomplish in a lifetime, but walking the peninsula’s over 3,500 holes is a fascinating way to see the country.

In winter, when most of Europe is snowed under, the courses of Andalucia are at their best, yet Spain’s upland courses are moist and pleasantly cool during the summer

Flat or hilly, easy or difficult, linked to woods of pine and oak or bordered by palms and olive groves. Near a major attraction such as La Herrería Course in Madrid Province, next to the world famous Monastery of El Escorial built over 400 years ago, or at an emblematic course like Valderrama in the province of Cádiz, host to the 1997 Ryder Cup and home to the Volvo Masters, voted Europe's number 1 course in several occasions by Golf World magazine.

Rolling lush fairways and greens on the often contrasting arid Meseta, bathed in the breeze of beautiful coastline or tucked away under snow-capped peaks in the Pyrenees make Spain a hard act to follow in the golfing scene.

From the green, wet countryside of the north to the sun-drenched south, from the Balearic Islands to the Canaries, the choice is yours.

And if you are looking for variety packed into one golf holiday, Atlantee Golf Clubs Association operates a voucher system that will allow their clients to enjoy the services of eight of the best golf clubs in western Andalucía . Further information on www.atlantee-golf.com
