    4 of us went last march to southern Spain. Great trip 3 great courses, la Cala, Marbella GC etc (1 terrible). We booked the courses, club hire, car, flights all separate so we'd like any suggestions on packages.

    We would consider anywhere. All ranges of golfers. Mid-late march ideally.

    All suggestions welcome. Ideally fly from Cork/Shannon.

    Just back yesterday from Mallorca.


    Stayed in Palma City, played Son Muntaner, Son Gual and Son Vida. 


    It has a different vibe to it compared to our usual Portugal jaunts, and I have to say in a very positive way. Staying in a proper city brings in a better array of cultures, restaurants and bars. Plus the proximity of everything is a real bonus. Airport to town, 10 mins. Longest trip to a course, 20 mins. Palma airport was an absolute breeze too. 


    Muntaner was lovely, just a very enjoyable trek with a good mix of holes. Great clubhouse and facilities and staff. Gual was the kind of big track I loved a few years back (think Christy O’Connor type course) but these days I prefer more subtle. Again superb facilities and people. Vida felt a little cramped after those two, until the back 9 opened up a little, and I suppose would be easily described as a solid resort course. 


    Downsides? None. Maybe a few quid more expensive than Portugal equivalents, but only just. At the time of year you’re talking about you run more of a weather risk (than you would for example where you were in La Cala), but then again there would be more to do if you did get rained off. You might even catch a La Liga game (we didn’t).

    Following this thread as I'm looking to arrange something with the lads myself.

    I've heard mixed reviews on Portugal. Some of the courses apparently are fairly bog standard for the price and majority of them would be overlooked in Ireland (I know we are spoilt tbf).
