Whether it be a golf day organised by the Costa del Sols most prestigious clubs to support a local charity, a club championship Open competition, a Texas Scramble, you name it,  there will be an opportunity for you to enjoy it here on Spain’s beautiful Costa del Golf.

Almost all of these special events are scored using the Stableford system which is a little easier and less daunting than marking a medal round. 

If you prefer to play stroke play and to play under tournament conditions there are events available and open to visitors on a weekly basis virtually year round. 

As an example, The Gecko Tour is for aspiring professionals and amateurs alike. With a 2 or 3 day event held at top courses along the Costa del Sol from October to March this mini tour has sent young players on to the Alps Tour, Challenge Tour and the European Tour. You will be the first to spot the newest and brightest talent if you take part in some Gecko Tour events. Maximum handicap is 2. There are other elite amateur tours where the maximum handicap is extended to 9.

We will provide information on all kinds of events with advice on handicap requirements etc,

In general the host golf course will make a special deal for each event and will often put together a package for the day including buggies, food and refreshments and sometimes a presentation dinner. 

Golf on the Costa del Sol is an amazing experience. Taking part in these special events will take your enjoyment to a higher level! If you can arrange your travel to coincide with one of these events I can promise that it will be the highlight of your week!
