Summer is finally here and that means travel and vacation time is about to start. The Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands are among the top travel and golf destinations in Europe. Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Gibraltar – these are the contemporary states of the Iberian Peninsula. Spain and Portugal form the biggest land mass and are also among the most popular travel destinations for golfers. We exclusively reveal the secret why golfers love these sun-kissed countries.

Portugal
Portugal has repeatedly been awarded “The World’s Best Golf Destination”. One of the reasons for this title surely is the Algarve: The country’s south coast is more than 200 kilometers long and one of the hotspots for golfers. With 50 years of golf tradition, it has an impressive number of first-class golf clubs, hotels and resorts. Many of the golf courses were designed by famous golf course architects such as Arnold Palmer, Robert Trent Jones Jr. or Sir Henry Cotton.

Spanien
Spain has a great reputation among golfers, too. Especially Andalusia, the South, is one of the areas with the highest golf course density and the most popular courses of the country. The golf courses are as various as the landscape: from beautiful sand beaches to the low mountain range of Sierra Morena you can find everything here.

Mallorca
Mallorca – part of Spain and the biggest Balearic Island – has long since become a golf Mecca itself and deserves to get some more attention. Fantastic golf courses, great service and beautiful golf hotels make the island one of the most popular golf destinations in Europe. The landscape and hospitality also belong to the reasons why the Island has become a second home to many golfers.
