Enjoy Playing Golf In Granada

Check Out These Courses First


Those of us who play golf in Granada already know that the golf courses are famous for their beautiful scenery, comfortable climate and welcoming, supportive staff.

At the moment, there are over 70 golf courses in Andalucia - and the number is rising steadily with over 30 more currently in the planning stage. Little surprise that the coastline including the Costa del Sol and Costa Tropical is also known as the Costa del Golf. And yet another golf course, Santa Clara golf in Granada, has only recently opened its doors, thereby increasing the number of golf courses in Granada.

However, those who stay in Padul at our bed breakfast Granada accommodation are well situated to play golf in these two beautiful courses:-

Las Gabias Golf Club in Granada

One of our local golf courses is Las Gabias Club de Golf Granada . Less than 20 minutes away, this golf club is virtually on our doorstep.

Classes at Las Gabias
The course is virtually flat and the 15th, 16th and 17th holes have lake hazards placed in front of them. This helps to give the game an interesting slant when you play golf there.

Facilities at this Granada golf club are similar to other good golf courses and include a driving range, chipping area and putting green.

There is also a shop with golf carts and clubs for hire.

In the club house there are lockers, showers and, of course, a well stocked bar.

The course is 18 holes par 71.
