It’s no accident that the Costa del Sol – literally translated as “Coast of the Sun” – is routinely referred to as the ‘Costa del Golf’!

This region of southern Spain has a well-deserved reputation as a must-not-miss golfing destination, and some of the ingredients that feed its considerable success in this regard are more obvious than others.

Nonetheless, as leading providers of Costa del Sol golf transfers here at Simply Shuttles, we felt it was worth revisiting just some of the factors that make this area of Andalucia such a magnetic place for those wishing to tee off.

With some 325 days of sun a year, average annual temperatures hovering in the twenties, and highly varied and jaw-dropping coastal and mountainous scenery, this part of Spain offers it all as far as captivating and hospitable surroundings in which to golf are concerned.

You could pick almost anywhere to golf on the Costa del Sol, and still be delighted by the idyllic backdrops you experience; and with the region being home to more than 70 world-class golf courses, those experiences can be different every time you visit.

There’s always something new to discover

Even during your downtime away from the golf course, you will be able to immerse yourself in a seemingly limitless array of activities in this richly rewarding area of Spain.
