Golf tourism is growing in Huelva

The golf sector in Huelva, in Costa de la Luz, reported a 48.88% rise in overnight stays and a 31.29% increase in foreign travellers in February compared to the same month in 2022, confirming its deseasonalizing role.

The Huelva Golf Course Association, a member of the Tourism Business Circle, has favourably judged these data, released by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), which support the increase attached to promoting this sector, which is so essential for Huelva.

“A good scenario was in sight for this segment for this year as a result of the first contacts kept with international operators (European market)”, according to a statement. The scenario has been confirmed by the data obtained in the first months of 2023.

Initial expectations have been exceeded, according to January statistics showing a 72.96% increase in hotel accommodations and a 67.42% increase in foreign visitors.

From a financial standpoint, the industry is still having the same problems it did this time last year due to the “disproportionate” increase in production and operating costs that pretty much every activity is experiencing.

Thus, “we find ourselves with the only segment that actively and certainly complements the development of the tourist activity linked to the holiday segment, and is effective in terms of the fight against persistent seasonality that it suffers from”, the Association concluded after considering the available data.

Huelva is home to stunning golf courses like El Rompido North and South, often considered among the finest golf courses in the Costa de la Luz region.

Isla Canela Old wants energy independence

Isla Canela Golf’s photovoltaic enclosure on the Isla Canela Old course has been recently installed and turned on. Located in the out rough area of the golf course, the installation has a total surface area of around 1500 square metres and has been used as part of a larger effort to reduce the irrigated area and make better use of water.

The Isla Canela Golf Hotel, the clubhouse, and the golf course’s irrigation water pumping system will all be able to utilise electricity from the solar array, which includes a compensation mechanism for energy that is not self-consumed.

The owners of Isla Canela Golf are hoping to further advance energy transition initiatives and implement steps from its Strategic Plan for Social and Environmental Sustainability in accordance with the sustainable development goals set forth by the United Nations.

Isla Canela may now reduce its CO2 output thanks to this new installation. The owners have been calculating the company’s carbon impact since 2019, and this action will help them get closer to their decarbonization target.

Isla Canela is located in a truly unique place on the Costa de la Luz region, near Huelva, right next to the border with Portugal, and it is one of the most popular golf holiday destinations in the region.

The third edition of the Aware Golf Strategy returns to Barceló Montecastillo Resort

The Martin Cummins Golf Performance Academy by Castellana Golf is bringing back its ‘Aware Golf Strategy’ courses to the Barceló Montecastillo Golf and Sport Resort, in the Costa de la Luz, near Cádiz.

On March 2, 3, and 4, participants in this innovative golf training course will have access to the golf course, the practice course, the training rooms, and even the hotel gym, as well as a unique approach to training and playing style that helps the amateur player decrease his or her handicap without changing his or her technique or swing.

Besides the actual instruction days, the training course also provides three green fees, unlimited balls at the driving range, hotel accommodations for two nights (breakfast and dinner included both nights), and transportation to and from the golf course.

“We are really glad to cooperate with the Martin Cummins Golf Performance Academy by offering these strategic courses throughout the year. The diversity of our facilities, with a golf course designed by Nicklaus, a top-class driving range, two short-game areas, a gym and numerous meeting rooms, allow us to host this type of event with a total guarantee of success”, says Guillermo Pérez Gutiérrez, Golf Manager of the Barceló Montecastillo Golf and Sport Resort.

Half an hour from the beach and just ten minutes from the airport, the newly refurbished Barceló Montecastillo Golf and Sport Resort is nestled between a wonderful natural environment and a castle dating back to the 19th century.

Nearly 40 private villas and more than 120 rooms are available at this resort. Each accommodation follows a new B-Room concept with a contemporary design, while yet maintaining the hotel’s signature classic and exquisite aesthetic.

As a Jack Nicklaus design from 1992, the Montecastillo golf course is a lengthy and challenging test of golfing skill.
