Spain's southwest coastline, The Costa de la Luz (the coast of light), is becoming increasingly popular as the rest of Europe and visitors from further a field discover the undeveloped, golden sandy beaches and the history that surrounds the province of Cadiz. Golf is now an extremely integral part of the Costa de la Luz and many people are happy to experience the peace and tranquillity of the area compared to the more robust Costa del Sol.

There are some splendid courses to be enjoyed including the 5-star Montecastillio, the two courses at Novo Sancti Petri, San Lucar and El Puerto at Puerto Santa Maria and the majestic Dehesa Montenmedio. If you have not played Dehesa then it is a must, as it has to be one of the finest courses in Spanish golf. All these courses are within 45 minutes of each other. As with the Costa del Sol, at Med Golf we pride ourselves on dealing with all these top courses to book tee times for visiting golfers. Not only are our tee times guaranteed but also our price promise is that they will be the cheapest on the Costa de la Luz.
