Abama Golf
Tenerife may be the ultimate year-round golf destination. With temperature averaging 21 degrees fairways remain enviably playable year-round, while the beaches, volcanic scenery, and incredible stargazing opportunities will blow you away.
One of the best courses on the island is Abama. Located on the smooth slopes of the Pico del Teide volcano, the course features unbeatable views of the Atlantic.
Meanwhile, the resort is an exclusive 400-acre vacation and residential destination tucked away on Tenerife’s idyllic southwest coastline. With world-class dining and 5-star services, many guests are so enamoured with the location they choose to make their home at one of the resort’s private luxury properties. With an undisturbed beach, sumptuous spa, and year-round springtime climate, it’s easy to see why. All real estate offers views over the Atlantic Ocean or Abama’s lush green course.
PGA Catalunya Resort
PGA Catalunya Resort is ideally located 50 minutes from Barcelona and just 15 minutes from Girona.
The European Tour destination is one of Europe’s leading luxury golf and lifestyle destinations. There are two courses on site, the Stadium Course and the Tour Course. The Resort offers the best possible golf combination due to the perfect balance between the Stadium Course, designed for major international events and for the most demanding amateur players, and the Tour Course with its constant challenges and spectacular holes that will meet the expectations of all types of player.
A member of the Leading Hotels in the World, the five-star Camiral Hotel is the ideal base to enjoy the world-class golf facilities.

Then take to the course, play tennis, or improve your physical fitness at the Residents Club & wellness centre.
The resort is also creating a new, on-site vineyard, Celler Mas Hereu, which will eventually produce its own wine.
La Reserva Club Sotogrande
If you’re looking to dial down your pace of life then Sotogrande is for you. La Reserva Club takes pride of place atop the exclusive Sotogrande leisure and real estate destination at the southernmost point of Andalusia. The panoramic views of the hilltop setting make for an incredible backdrop to the course, which in turn offers beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea and Gran Reserva.
A life of glamour and relaxation awaits those who choose to purchase a highly-sought over property at the resort. Choose from an exclusive villa at the top of La Reserva, by the marina, or in the Cortijos, which is situated close to an international school.
Despite the luxurious feel of this serene Mediterranean enclave, the community continues to lie at Sotogrande’s heart.
Wherever you decide to stay, be sure to make time to dine at L’Olive.
Under the meticulous stewardship of Parisian maître Olivier Claude de Paepe and Head chef, Christina Gutierrez Bergue, guests will be treated to some of the finest Andalusian and European cuisine to be found in this part of southwest Spain.
Terre Blanche
As locations go, you couldn’t get much better than Terre Blanche. Situated on the edge of the French Riviera, the two Dave Thomas courses, Le Château and Le Riou, enjoy 300 days a year sunshine.
Despite boasting two exceptional courses, Terre Blanche is not just a world-class golf facility. This slice of Provençal heaven is one of France’s top resorts, with a Michelin-starred restaurant, luxurious spa and beautifully situated five-star hotel.
You will inevitably fall under Terre Blanche’s charms. Luckily you can have your own slice of heaven through the real estate offered on the property.

Troia Resort
Troia Resort, with exceptional views of the ocean on every hole, is among Europe’s finest golf courses. Accessible by ferry, the layout enjoys a magical location, wedged between the Atlantic Ocean, the Serra da Arrábida Natural Park, and the Sado Estuary.

Monte Rei
The Jack Nicklaus designed course at Monte Rei, beautifully situated between the Serra do Caldeirão mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, is without a doubt one of the Algarve’s shining stars.
Regularly ranking among the top ten courses in Continental Europe, the Golden Bear’s first signature design in Portugal is simply exceptional.
