Golf Holidays Costa de la Luz
The Costa de la Luz region lies across the border in Spain, but since it is only a short drive from Faro airport, we include Costa de la Luz golf holidays in our Algarve programme. Indeed thanks to the Via do Infante motorway it is quicker to drive from Faro to Isla Canela than to some of the Algarve resorts.
This region, known as 'the Andalucian Algarve', is renowned for its historical connection with Christopher Columbus, for its sunny beaches and for its fruit growing - mainly strawberries, oranges, melons, figs and mangoes.
Our holiday programme here features the excellent resorts and golf courses of Isla Canela and Islantilla in Spain, as well as the courses of Benamor, Castro Marim, Quinta da Ria and Quinta da Cima, just across the border in the Algarve.
Both resorts are quiet and relaxing with most of the nightlife taking place in the hotels, although the nearby town of Ayamonte has a number of bars and fine restaurants.
The Golf
Islantilla Golf Course (27 Holes)
1 - 9 - 3187 yds Par 35
10 - 18 - 3125 yds Par 35
9 - 18 - 3125 yds Par 35
The spectacular 27-hole Islantilla course completed in 1992 is a parkland-type layout close to the sea. In the years since, Islantilla has hosted several professional tournaments including the Turespana Andalucian Open. With three 9-hole loops available, golfers at Islantilla can choose from 3 different 18 hole combinations to include their favourite holes or to suit their individual level of skill.
Isla Canela Golf Course
The 6,288-metre, 18-hole course was completed in late 1996. It is a par-72 layout winding through gently undulating, dune type terrain where olive, orange, eucalyptus and palm trees are regular features. Water hazards come into play on 12 holes, although not in a particularly daunting way from the regular tees.
