Around the entire country, there are many different golf courses. A mix of the climate, scenery and world-class course designers really make Spain a force to be reckoned with.

Many of the courses in Spain have not only been designed by world-class designers but also world-famous golfers. This helps with the course design as they can implement challenges they faced in their own career, which makes the courses more competitive.
