Miguel Ángel Jiménez Becomes Costa del Sol Ambassador

Posted on by

Miguel Ángel Jiménez, Costa del Sol golf ambassador’ is a headline that has made waves, and it is easy to understand why. The Málaga-born golfer is one of the most familiar faces in the sport, known for his charm, dry humour, and unmistakable personality. His new role brings a fresh and friendly touch to a region already loved by golfers who travel for sunshine and great courses.

The Costa del Sol has launched a new digital campaign starring Jiménez to highlight its wide range of golf experiences. The area offers everything from coastal fairways with sea views to peaceful parkland courses and challenging championship layouts. The nickname Costa del Golf fits perfectly. With more than seventy courses, the region has more variety than anywhere else in continental Europe. Finca Cortesin remains a standout after hosting the 2023 Solheim Cup, and courses such as Los Naranjos, Flamingos, and Atalaya continue to attract golfers from all over.

Jiménez will also travel across Europe and the United States to represent the region at key events, speaking with travel agents, tour operators, and the media. His presence gives the Costa del Sol even more credibility and helps explain why so many golfers return year after year. The numbers tell the story. An impressive 98.7 % of visiting golfers say they would recommend the destination, which is no surprise given the warm climate, excellent accommodation, good food, and long list of courses along the coast.

With Miguel Ángel Jiménez now front and centre, Costa del Sol is ready to strengthen its position as one of Spain’s top golf holiday regions. If you are thinking about your next golf break, this part of Andalucía is an easy choice, and you can explore options through our Costa del Sol golf holidays page.

Redefining the Game: Spain’s First Par 6 Opens at La Marquesa Golf

Posted on by

Golfers in Spain now have a new reason to visit Alicante. La Marquesa Golf, located in the town of Rojales, has made history by unveiling the country’s first par-6 hole—a bold and exciting step that’s already sparking buzz across the golf community.

Stretching an eye-catching 644 meters from the back tees (623 from yellow, 593 from blue, and 505 from red), this unique hole offers something very few golf courses in the world can claim: a par 6 challenge that’s both strategic and accessible. Designed by architect Iñaki de La Cuadra, who has worked alongside renowned designer Peter Harradine, this hole transforms a former par 5 into a longer, more dynamic experience. The layout now includes a slight dog-leg to the left on the final approach, adding a layer of complexity that rewards precision and planning.

La Marquesa Golf: Always innovating

What makes this design truly innovative is the flexibility it gives golfers. Players can choose to tackle the hole as a par 6 or stick to the original layout and play it as a par 5, thanks to new tee platforms that preserve the original distance. In fact, when played as a par 5 from the white tees, it now holds the title of the longest par 5 in Spain, clocking in at 628 meters.

According to José Ángel Quesada, president of La Marquesa Golf, “This par 6 is a big leap forward for innovation and challenge in Spanish golf. We want La Marquesa to be a place where players not only enjoy their game but also find something memorable.”

La Marquesa is also part of the exclusive selection of golf courses offered by Tee Times Golf Holidays in Spain—perfect for those looking to experience top-tier golf in Alicante and its beautiful surroundings. Whether you’re planning a golf getaway or just want to tick a par 6 off your bucket list, Tee Times can help you make it happen for your Spain golf holidays.

This ambitious update is part of a broader vision to turn La Marquesa into a must-visit destination for golfers from around the world. Combined with standout features like its replica of the iconic 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, the course now offers a mix of tradition, creativity, and fun.

One thing’s for sure: if you’re looking for a golf experience that’s out of the ordinary, La Marquesa’s par 6 should be on your list.

Tenerife Women’s Open returns to the spectacular Abama Golf

Posted on by

This week, from June 5–8, Tenerife becomes the heart of elite women’s golf as the Tenerife Women’s Open returns to the spectacular Abama Golf. As part of the Ladies European Tour (LET), the event brings together the finest players on the continent—and a powerful platform to showcase the island’s excellence, sustainability, and commitment to premium tourism.

Backed by Turismo de Tenerife and hosted at the iconic Abama Golf—designed by Dave Thomas and known for its ocean views and strategic layout—the tournament is more than just a sporting event. It’s a bold statement about the island’s future.

Nearly 97% of the water used on Tenerife’s golf courses is either regenerated or desalinated, with no impact on public consumption. Courses like Abama have their own desalination systems and use drought-resistant grass species integrated with cutting-edge irrigation technology. This eco-conscious design reflects a larger vision: positioning Tenerife as a leader in sustainable golf tourism.

As LET CEO Alexandra Armas noted to the press, “It’s a privilege to return to a destination that has done so much to elevate women’s golf.” And with three hours of daily live coverage reaching 144 million households across 87 countries, the world is watching.

Tenerife: A Dream Destination

For golfers, Tenerife isn’t just a tournament stop—it’s a dream destination. With an average golf visitor spending 29% more than the standard tourist, staying longer, and generating over €321 million in 2024 alone, the island’s appeal is clear.
