The area in Southern Spain is blessed with pleasant weather all year round, an average of 320 days of sun a year, making it perfect for a winter golf break. Enjoy the attractive beaches, a range of leisure facilities, and superb restaurants whilst taking a break for most of the year.
The best season to visit the region is springtime (April to May) or autumn (September to October). Due to the temperate climate and smaller crowds at that time. The diverse offerings of Spain mean that you can find something to appreciate at any time of year.
Summers can be sweltering, particularly in the south, with more tourists. However, cooler temperatures in the north make it the perfect option during the summer if you're worried about it.
Winter temperatures rarely fall below 15c in the region, so golf is enjoyed on the Costa del Sol.
