Posted on by

The Legends Tour 2025 calendar promises an exciting season with over 20 tournaments and a prize pool exceeding 20 million euros—an impressive 16% increase over last year. This boost in prize money reflects the tour’s dedication to celebrating senior professional golfers whose legendary performances have inspired new generations. The season kicks off in Spain with the Marbella Legends at Aloha Golf Club from February 14th to 16th, an event set to attract icons such as Miguel Ángel Jiménez, José María Olazábal, and Paul Lawrie, among others.

Aloha Golf Club, nestled in Nueva Andalucía close to Marbella on the Costa del Sol, is one of the jewels of the region’s Golf Valley, an area famous for its world-class courses. Designed by the legendary Spanish architect Javier Arana, Aloha was his final masterpiece, inaugurated in 1975. The 6,293-meter, par 72 parkland course is known for its challenging layout, combining four par 5s, ten par 4s, and four par 3s. Players face an array of demands holes, including precision off the tee, strategic approach shots, and stunning vistas of the Sierra La Concha and the Mediterranean.

Throughout its history, Aloha has hosted many top-tier tournaments, including the Andalucía Open, where renowned players like Lee Westwood and Thomas Levet secured memorable wins. The Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España Femenino also took place here. Azahara Muñoz made history in 2016 as the first Spanish golfer to win the title on Spanish soil.

Tee Times is committed to delivering unforgettable Spain golf holidays, crafting experiences with the ideal blend of golf’s heritage and relaxation, and ensuring a journey honouring the legendary Scottish game legacy.

Canary Islands: A Top Golf Destination with Unmatched Experiences and Growing Impact

Posted on by

The Federación Canaria de Golf has shared some exciting news in the latest report by IE University: last year, golf tourists spent over one billion euros across the islands! Golf has truly become a powerhouse for both economic growth and tourism in the region, attracting more and more visitors who choose the Canary Islands as their go-to golf destination.

According to the report, the Canary Islands now represent 18% of Spain’s total golf tourism spending, with local golf courses making up 12% of the national revenue. What’s even more impressive is that golf tourists spend an average of €4,189 per year—much more than regular tourists. This has helped boost longer stays, increased spending, and reduced the seasonal dips in tourism that many destinations experience.

Pablo Llinares, Managing Director of Gran Canaria Tourism, emphasised golf’s important role in the island’s tourism. He said, “The work being done by the Federación Canaria de Golf and the Real Federación Española de Golf proves that golf and tourism are a winning combination.” This collaboration has helped make the Canary Islands one of Spain’s top golf destinations.

Looking ahead, Gran Canaria will take centre stage as it hosts IAGTO’s third annual European Convention (IEC) from May 19-21, 2025. The event is already generating buzz, with 70% of the spots filled. Golf professionals worldwide will be heading to Gran Canaria, further showcasing the islands’ appeal.
