Average cost of Spain/Portugal golf trip?

[Marshy77]

Looking at arranging a trip for a 50th either late next year or April 2024. Last time I went in 2017 I think we paid around £450 for the flights, hotel and 3 rounds inc buggies and took our own clubs. This was Marbella.

I know the cost of standard 3/4 night trips has increased but wondered what people have been paying for 3/4 night golf trip inc 3 rounds. Trying to get a guide together before going to various places to see what's available.

Impossible to answer. Flights could be anywhere from 20-200 quid depending on dates, then what sort of courses do you want to play? They range from about 50 euros to 300+

Yes, should have added 'obviously depending on flight prices'.

Take flights out.

No more than £300 on 3 rounds.

April is high season, think to stay in Marbella and play at nice courses you would be looking at more like 450 for 3 nights 3 rounds.
Also depends how many are going, the more the cheaper usually.
Speak to someone like sunshine golf and see if they have any deals on.

£300 for 3 rounds should get you ok courses including buggies but none of the better or top ones.

From memory we played in Estepona at Atalaya plus 2 others and paid around £300ish Inc buggies.

£300 would easily get you 3 rounds on good courses on the Costa Blanca. Not necessarily top ones, but you’d get one premium course in there with that budget.

I think I could do that, but the courses would have to be off the beaten track a little. Estepona is a hike from Marbella, but it's always great value - I actually quite like the course there myself.

Font Del Llop, Alenda, Las Ramblas, Roda, Alicante and El Plantio always had reasonable green fees when we lived on the Costa Blanca.

No, not including hotel for that price.

Btw ball park figures such as 'we just paid £xxx for 4 nights hotel and golf' etc or similar is great. Just trying to get an idea.

We’ve paid around £900 for 4 nights 3 round in Portugal next April. I thought it was expensive but we’re playing 3 of the better courses.

We went to Marbella in May, 3 nights 3 rounds, b&b, nice hotel, buggies, transfers, transfers to the courses, flights with clubs in the hold, it was around £550-£600. Can’t remember the exact cost because it was delayed from 2021 and so we had to pay little bits of extras here and there.

Plus of course £70+ for your golf clubs.

Jet2 don't charge extra for clubs.
