Golf

Casares del Sol is THE golfing destination in southern Spain.

Easy flights into Malaga or Gibralter make this one of the most popular resorts for golfing holidays.

There are fifteen golf courses within a 3-15 minute drive and six courses very close to the resort including the Jack Nicolas Golfing Academy at Finch Corte which is literally next door and provides 5* facilities. The Dona Julia Golf Club is another brand new prestigious 18 hole course and across the road is the 9 hole Casares Golf Club where you can unwind with a meal and drink after your game before walking back to the apartment.

Valderama - World famous course, home to the Volvo Masters, the Ryder Cup (1997) and the World Golf Championships. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, this is one of the continent's toughest challenges. The famous par-5 17th features a green with bunkers behind and slopes forward to an emerald lake—a favourite with spectators yet feared by players.

San Roque - an exacting challenge for even the most experienced of golfers including the tricky 18th. A new course has recently opened designed by Perry Dye and Seve Ballesteros that complements the existing course.

Sotogrande - the grandfather of clubs in Andalucia, opened in 1994 is still considered to be in the top 10 of European courses. It has well established vegetation and numerous water hazards making this an interesting and challenging course.
