The Costa del Sol is Spain's principle golfing playground. The climate - around 300 days of sunshine each year - and development of many excellent courses over the past 20 years has established the region as a firm favourite amongst golf aficionados. The sierras to the north of the coastal strip act as a protective screen against the affects of colder northern winds. Apart from offering such a good climate, the mountains, slopes and valleys provide a wonderful scenic backdrop to many of the area's courses. Montemayor is a few miles inland and enjoys a spectacular valley setting. The layout is memorable, if fiendishly difficult, with carries from tees to fairways and fairways to greens a regular requirement.

Water comes into play on eight of the first nine holes but the fairways are sensibly generous. Call IGT to book your golf vacation including Santa Maria in South Spain, today.
