Golf in Spain: The Best Golf Clubs in Barcelona Province

In recent years, golf tourism in Spain has become increasingly popular among foreign fans of this sport. For many who are planning to move and buy a property in Spain, the presence of a golf course nearby becomes an important factor in their choice.

The main reason for this is the excellent Spanish climate, which allows you to play golf all year round, as well as the large number of high-level courses. In addition to elite courses, there are also municipal ones in Spain (most of them are located in Asturias and Andalusia), which makes this sport more accessible. According to statistics for 2023, 298,959 players are registered with the Spanish Golf Federation.

There are currently over 437 golf courses in Spain, with the largest number of them located in the autonomous communities of Andalusia, Catalonia and Castilla y Leon.
