When you hear about Spanish players like José María Olazábal, Severiano Ballesteros and Sergio García who are making waves year after year on the PGA Tour, you know that they must come from a golf-loving country! Golf has become a major activity in Spain in the realms of both competition and leisure and, among the endless facets of its culture, its reputation for top-notch golf courses attracts club-toting golf enthusiasts from all over the world.
The region of Valencia, with its pleasant weather bathing the area with over 300 days of Mediterranean sunshine each year, is a geographically fascinating part of Spain that serves up everything from unspoiled forests to rolling hills, soaring mountain peaks and sweeping views of the shimmering Mediterranean Sea. Valencia's wide range of golf courses, most of which are schemed up and expertly constructed by world-renowned golf course designers, are tucked right into this diverse natural environment.
So if you need a day away from the picture-snapping, museum-visiting hustle and bustle of Valencia sightseeing, consider a day out communing with Valencian nature and hitting the links. Plus, if you, like many travelers, didn't think ahead to packing your clubs into your carry-on luggage, don't worry- most of Valencia's golf courses rent out sets of clubs.
