Why Northern Spain for a group golf trip

Northern Spain is green, cool in summer and quietly obsessed with food. It's where Seve Ballesteros learned to play, on the beach next to his home course in Cantabria.

This is the trip for groups who care as much about dinner as about the scorecard. We combine courses in Cantabria and the Basque Country with San Sebastián, Bilbao and a day in Rioja.

On the course

Featured golf courses in Northern Spain

  • Pedreña, Cantabria

    Real Golf de Pedreña

    Seve Ballesteros' home club, on a peninsula over the bay of Santander. A must for any golfer who grew up watching him.

    Designed by Seve himself, between the sea and the Picos de Europa mountains.

When to go

Best time for a golf trip to Northern Spain

May to September is the best period, with comfortable temperatures when the south of Spain is very hot.

Spring and autumn can be rainy, which is why everything is so green. Winter is cool and wet, so we don't recommend it for golf.

How long

How long is a typical trip

A typical trip is 4 to 5 nights with 3 rounds, because distances between Cantabria, the Basque Country and Rioja are longer.

Groups often split the stay between San Sebastián and a wine hotel in Rioja.

Beyond the golf

What to do off the course in Northern Spain

  • Pintxos in San Sebastián

    A route through the old town bars, and a Michelin starred dinner if the group wants it.

  • Bilbao

    The Guggenheim Museum and an evening in the Casco Viejo.

  • Rioja wineries

    Cellars that range from medieval caves to modern architecture.

  • Picos de Europa

    Mountain villages, rivers and the cable car at Fuente Dé.
