For generations, Marbella has been a favourite location among sun worshippers flocking to southern Spain. But this legendary part of the Costa del Sol isn’t only about catching rays on the beach, or even soaking up a glamorous nightlife – it is also a must-visit for those who love to tee off.
Marbella: a focal point for golf, but not only about the golf
The climate alone goes some way to explaining the appeal of Marbella golf transfers, this area of Andalucia having always delivered consistently warm temperatures. That makes Marbella a genuine all-year-round golfing destination.
However, the picturesque mountainous and coastal scenery, as well as the challenging and rewarding golf courses themselves, further drive the area’s popularity among inexperienced and seasoned golfers alike. The general area boasts more than 70 golf courses, a healthy proportion of them being within the Marbella municipality.
It also doesn’t hurt that the city can be reached within about 40 minutes from Málaga Airport – an around 50-kilometre distance – by those who take advantage of our Marbella golf transfers. And of course, Marbella is also superbly equipped for holidaymakers in general, with its buzzing bars and clubs and a glitzy, laidback vibe.
So, what are some of the highlights among Marbella’s golf courses?
With their impeccably designed courses, meticulously crafted fairways, and opulent nearby accommodation options, the golf clubs in and around Marbella really do offer something for even the most demanding tastes.
