Jerez Golf Courses

Jerez and the surrounding area is a wonderful place to play golf, offering an excellent choice of courses in spectacular locations.

Its coastline is the Costa de la Luz which literally means “coast of light”. The area does have bright, vivid light that highlights the whitewashed villages, golden sand and blue sea. If you hire a car to get around and play at various golf courses inland you will find landscapes of wild sierras, fertile countryside, pastures of fighting bulls and vineyards. In spring the courses are covered with an explosion of flowers, and the mild and sunny winter attracts millions of birds to the area.
