Costa del Sol Supports Costa del Sol Master Madrid Final at Río Real

The Costa del Sol Master Madrid final brought golf in Spain back into the spotlight, and it was held at the Río Real Golf Club. Besides that, Turismo Costa del Sol significantly contributed to the success of the event. After a long and hard-fought journey across three qualifying events and eight courses, the tournament finished in the middle of the Costa del Sol. It was a mix of sports, travel, and tourism marketing. Things like this keep the region famous as one of the best places in Europe for golf holidays.

The last round of the contest took place at Río Real, a course that is famous for high-level golf and is a popular spot for tourists. Esperanza González, who is the CEO of Turismo Costa del Sol, greeted the players and guests and talked about how important it is to back projects that help make the destination better known. She said that having Costa del Sol take part in projects that help make the area a top vacation spot, especially for golf, which is still an important part of the local economy, is truly an honour.

A Contest with Travel Prizes

The Costa del Sol Master Madrid happened from the 12th to the 14th of December. The schedule was set up to find a good mix between inexperienced and experienced players. People came to formal receptions and transfers on Friday. They had a practice round at Río Real on Saturday. The final was on Sunday. It had a shotgun start, a cocktail reception in the clubhouse, and a formal ceremony to give out the prizes. After a long, well-planned event, the winners enjoyed their victory.

Tourism Costa del Sol used the event to show that it is a great place to play golf. The area has more than 70 golf fields, which is more than anywhere else on the mainland of Europe. As a result, many different classes are available to take. It also keeps drawing in amateur players who want to play year-round in good weather.

Costa del Sol: Year-Round Charm and Golf Holidays

Esperanza González also spoke about how golf can help keep things from changing with the seasons. You can take golf holidays at any time of the year, as they are not dependent on the busy summer months. Besides the tournament, Turismo Costa del Sol also brought tour operators from the UK, the Netherlands, and the US on a familiarisation trip to market the area to people around the world. This was another boost to the area’s status around the world.

Since the Costa del Sol Master Madrid and other events take place there, the Costa del Sol remains Spain’s premier golf destination. Its long-term success is based on a lot of people helping it, making it a competition destination, and having a lot of tourists come. Our Costa del Sol golf holidays show golfers planning their next trip how to create lasting memories.

Portugal Airport Strikes: Travel Advice for Golfers

Posted on by

Travel to Portugal this summer remains smooth for most visitors, but weekend airport operations may be a little slower than usual due to planned staff walkouts at some major airports. For golfers heading out with clubs in tow, a few small travel adjustments can help keep everything on course.

The strikes affect ground-handling services at several major Portuguese airports and are scheduled across four summer weekends: August 8–11, August 15–18, August 22–25, and August 29–September 1. Travellers flying during these dates may experience slightly longer processing times at the airport.

Travel Tips to Keep Things Running Smoothly

Avoid luggage delays and travel lighter by using our golf club hire service.

During this period, renting clubs can be a smart way to skip checked baggage and avoid potential airport delays. Our high-quality sets include top brands such as Ping, Titleist, and TaylorMade, and are delivered directly to your hotel or golf course.
We’re also offering special rates during this period. Availability is limited and subject to demand, so we recommend booking early to secure your preferred setup.

Here are a few more tips to help your journey go smoothly:

  • Take out travel insurance that covers delays, cancellations, and sports equipment.

  • Keep essentials like golf shoes and clothes for your first day in your cabin bag.

  • Allow a comfortable window between your landing time and first tee time.

If your flight is significantly delayed or cancelled, EU Regulation 261/2004 gives you the right to:

  • Meal vouchers and hotel accommodation during long delays

  • Full refunds or rebooking options

  • Financial compensation depending on the flight and length of delay

These rights apply to flights within or departing from the EU, as well as to EU-based carriers arriving from other countries.

Portugal remains one of the most accessible and reliable destinations for golf holidays. With a few small adjustments, your travel experience can stay just as enjoyable, even during periods of disruption. For extra peace of mind, Tee Times is here to help you prepare, travel smart, and get straight to what matters most: time on the course.
