New Delhi, April 27, 2018: A new report by KPMG has hailed the start of the stabilization of the Spanish golf market with the Spain Country Snapshot report showing that golf in Spain is set for a revival.

Spain in the top five countries in Europe in terms of its total number of registered junior players (34,195), providing it with an excellent home-grown market for its 349 golf courses. The country also enjoys an active golf tourism sector, attracting golfers from affluent nations that include the UK, France and Germany.

Visitors from the UK are particularly keen to enjoy Spain’s pristine fairways, with a golf participation rate of 1.2% of total travellers (compared with participation rates of 0.6% and 0.8% for France and Germany respectively, and a Europe-wide participation rate of 0.92%.

Golfers, it seems, just can’t get enough of Spain’s unique blend of abundant sunshine and challenging golf courses.

“The golf industry has been well established in Spain for more than 125 years, with the first club here founded in 1891. It plays an important role in the country’s travel and tourism offering, as well as impacting on other sectors, such as housing.”
