5. Does the sun always shine on the Costa del Sol?
We wish it did (if only for the golfers) but no of course not, it can rain anytime during the autumn, winter and spring months, there is no ‘rainy time’ just remember to bring some waerproofs, and something warmer in case the weather is not good. However, we do have the best winter weather in the whole of Europe, and generally it is a pleasure to play golf here in he winter months.
6. What happens to my green fee if it does rain?
If it rains and the course remains open you will be expected to play. If, however, the rain is heavy and the course decides to close they will refund Practigolf Riviera
SL and we in turn will refund you. You will need to have your vouchers stamped by the golf course. In some instances if it is possible a course may offer to change your day of play.
7. When would your recommend taking a golf holiday?
The high season months (when most golfers visit) are October, February,March,April and May. The other months are equally good for golf and the prices are often discounted, particularly November to January. The summer season starts in
June, through to mid September, this is when golf prices are at their lowest, , it can be hot, but pleasant if you take a buggy.
8. Is there a strict golfing dress code in Spain?
It is very similar to dress code in other parts of the world, except they do not require long socks with shorts. Please observe normal dress code - polo shirt, smart trousers or shorts, and most courses will not allow you to play with spikes, so bring soft spikes, or we can change them when you arrive if you wish.
9. Is it possible to rent clubs?
Yes we can organise this for you, please pre-book if you wish to do this. With the advent of flight companies charging for clubs, many visitors these days take this option.
10. Do you book flights?
No we don’t book flights these days, there are so many flight companies offering excellent rates that it has become the norm for travellers to book their own. Refer to the flights link for a good selection, however, if you need help we will always be pleased to search flights for you.
11. Would you recommend car hire - or coach transfers?
The choice of course is yours, however, we do find for larger groups transfers are cost effective and help to make the trip more enjoyable. Transfers for smaller groups can be expensive but can be organised if you prefer. Car Hire is a good bet, the prices are very good here on the Costa del Sol and it gives you the freedom to explore this lovely area.
