GOLF SANTA MARINA Designed by Seve Ballesteros, this is an absolute stunner of a course. Sandwiched between the sea and mountains, it is pretty tough but hugely enjoyable.
GOLF RIOJA ALTA Wrapped around a preserved forest full of 200-year-old oak trees, the course first plunges downhill, then winds back up before entering the forest at the turn from where you don’t emerge until you walk off the 18th and into the magnificent clubhouse.
REAL CLUB DE GOLF PEDREÑA This course is where Seve Ballesteros learnt to hone his remarkable skills and is in fact a wonderful experience and a treat not to be missed! It is by no means a long course but is definitely a difficult and testing one.
IZKI GOLF - URTURI Another Seve Ballesteros gem, this superb mountaintop course has an almost heathland feel to it with loads of heather and trees. It was the first public course to be built in Spain and it’s doubtful that there is a better one anywhere in the country.
CLUB DE GOLF MUNICIPAL LLANES This is a clifftop course with views all round that are absolutely breathtaking and worth the absurdly modest green fee on their own. Maintained in great condition this is a genuine gem of a course.
GOLF MUNICIPAL LOGROÑO Another glorious course that really seems too good to be municipal. It climbs up a couple of imposing hills and has a welcome feel of spaciousness.
HOTEL MIRADOR DE LA FRANCA In a fantastic location right on the beautiful golden sands is the Mirador de La Franca, a hotel that offers good family hospitality and a lively summer ambience in an attractive setting.
HOTEL VILLA DE LAGUARDIA*** In the heart of the prestigious vineyards of La Rioja, the Villa de Laguardia is a wine lover’s delight. With a high standard of accommodation and a level of service to match, plus an impressive spa centre this superb hotel has lots to offer and is in an ideal setting for exploring the region.
