| Santa Maria Golf and Country Club, Elviria |
The Costa del Sol, (referred to in Spain as The Costa del Golf) is a perfect haven
for golfers. The concentration of quality courses, the unique climate and hospitality of the local people makes the area ideal
for lovers of golf and sport in general. Spain was selected as the first European
venue for the Ryder Cup outside Britain and is a regular venue for European Tour Golf. This section of Spanish coastline has
some of the finest golfing facilities in Europe. Santa Maria Golf, Elviria, is a very picturesque course and a good test for any handicap. It is also very much a mid-point among the many
other courses available to play along Spain's sunniest Costa. Thus by staying here in the Los Jardines apartments you are
never far from a first tee. There are infact over 35 top quality golf courses
along the coast. Whatever your handicap, in this part of Spain, you will find a selection of golf courses to suit you and
provide the perfect challenge. If you wish to pre-book your tee-times then
simply call (or email) the golf pro-shops direct or use a web booking service such as Golf Service Reservations. The four maps below show the golf courses along the Costa
del Sol from West to East. Click on the maps below to locate these golf courses.

Most golf courses in Spain offer excellent value for money as they
are generally in excellent condition. Just up the hill from Santa Maria Golf is the
Greenlife Golf Academy, so if you wish a course of lessons or simply want 30 minutes on the range then this
is a great facility. Here there is a stunning nine hole par 3 course, designed
to suit both beginners as well as experienced players. The length of the holes ranges from 88 to 169 metres. Remember
when golfing in Spain add 10% to convert metres into yards. The course runs around a lake and
has wonderful views to the Mediterranean Sea. The Academy also boasts a two tier driving
range, chipping and putting areas and is fully equipped with the lastest technology. If
you fancy walking in the footsteps of the Ryder Cup stars, you can always book a round at Valderamma (though don't forget
your credit card).. |
