Golf is THE sport on the Costa del Sol. Spain\'s
hosting of the Ryder Cup in 1997 brought a great prestige to the area.
With more than 40 clubs, most of them beside residential developments and most
in the western Costa del Sol area, with about 300 days of sunshine during the
year, this area is the one with the highest concentration of golf courses in
Europe. The majority of the golf clubs require a handicap certificate and
visitors are advised to book well in advance to save disappointment.
