Costa del Sol Golf Holidays
The province of Malaga and, above all, its coast - popularly known as the 'Costa del Sol' - is widely recognised as one of the world's leading golfing holiday destinations.

Nearly all of them are open to visitors, so British golfers on a Costa del Sol golf break are certainly spoiled for choice.
