text: It’s not a surprise that the Costa Del Sol is often nicknamed the “Costa Del Golf.”
  Golf is popular in this part of the world, and with good reason. The climate lends itself to the sport, but there are also many celebrity connections. Did you know that several famous golfers have left their mark here? Not only have some of our most famous clubs seen star players, but their work is also etched into the stylish image of the area. Gary Player designed El Paraiso Golf Club. Dave Thomas, known for over 100 courses, worked with The Marbella Club, and Manuel Piñero designed La Quinta Golf and Country Club, to name but a few.
  The area also hosts grand golfing events like the Ryder Cup and the women’s Solheim Cup. These events are extremely prestigious, and highlight the enduring love story between golf and the Costa Del Sol.
