Calahonda golfcourses

Spain is after England the country with the highest golf course density in Europe. Especially the Costa del Sol is famous for its numerous and world-class courses. One of the reasons why golf lovers keep on coming back is the overall mild climate that allows playing not only in summer but also during the winter months. Calahonda is one of the most popular golf centres on the "Costa del Golf".

The region became popular during the eighties as a winter golf resort which had as a result that within six years (between 1985 and 1991) a total of 17 new golf courses were built.
Back then there were 30 golf courses located on a stretch of 50 miles (about 80 km).
Due to the wide range of top notch golf courses in such as small area and of course the warm climate that allows you to play throughout the year; the resort became the most popular destination for Northern European golfers.

In 1997 Valderrama was host to the Ryder Cup which gave the area international acknowledgment and recognition and therefore another increase in golf players from around the globe.

After the cup the region built even more golf courses as the interest and reservations - especially for the millennium - for golf courses grew significantly.
