Welcome to the definitive guide to golf on the Costa del Sol in 2026. With over 70 operational courses, 325 days of guaranteed sunshine, and a tourist satisfaction rating of 9.24/10, the “Costa del Golf” remains continental Europe’s premier destination for serious golfers. But 2026 is different. This year brings LIV Golf Valderrama (June 5-7), the Los Naranjos Trophy (April), and a reformed calendar of international tournaments. The Costa del Sol is not simply a destination—it is a vast, interconnected ecosystem. To navigate from the luxury fairways of Marbella to the windswept greens of Sotogrande, you need one thing above all else: complete freedom of movement. This guide will show you how.
70+ Courses, One Peninsula, Complete Freedom: Discover why the Costa del Sol is the ultimate golf destination.
Three major factors converge to make 2026 the golden year for golfers planning the Costa del Sol:
1. LIV Golf Returns to Valderrama with a New Format
For the fourth consecutive year, Valderrama hosts the world’s most exciting tournament. But in 2026, the format changes to 72 holes with simultaneous starts. Elite players like Sergio García and Jon Rahm will lead their Fireballs and Legion XIII teams. Early accommodation and vehicle bookings are essential.
2. Amateur Tournaments Have Expanded Access
The Los Naranjos Trophy (April 27-30) and Costa del Sol Invitational (September 9-15) both welcome amateur golfers. These are not minor club events—they are prestigious competitions with tradition and international caliber.
3. Course Variety Has Never Been Better
From championship 18-hole layouts by Robert Trent Jones Sr. to accessible 9-hole par-3 courses perfect for families, the Costa del Sol now offers authentic golf experiences for every level and every budget—from €15 to €165 per round.
Book Early. These events drive demand for premium vehicles and group transport. Early planners secure better rates.
