Golf was introduced to Spain almost 120 years ago when the country’s very first golf course was opened on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria in 1891. Since those early days, the development of a truly national golf infrastructure has progressed methodically, building into an impressive inventory, which today approaches 350 golf courses in all. Spain has earned golf bragging rights, not only for the number of courses within its borders, but perhaps more importantly, for the consistently high quality of the vast majority of these layouts. It should be no surprise that Spain is today considered as Europe’s unofficial, Golf Headquarters.
