Islantilla Spring Festival
Islantilla
If you like the idea of staying in a good quality hotel, with a 27-hole golf course right on your doorstep, the Islantilla Golf Resort is the perfect choice. The resort's excellent 27-hole golf course sits right next to the comfortable and friendly hotel, where golfers are always well looked after. A firm favourite over the years for Solos guests and the perfect venue for our fun and sociable Spanish Festival week of golf.
Golf Course
Set within a pine forest and with impressive sea views, the 27 holes at Islantilla give players the opportunity to play three different nine hole combinations. There is a good variety of holes, featuring fast greens, narrow tree-lined fairways and tricky over-water shots which will appeal to all levels of golfer. The three nines meander through the pinewoods and many holes enjoy spectacular views of the Atlantic. Holes 1-9 are hilly with a few blind shots, holes 10-18 are undulating with hanging lies to be expected, and holes 19-27 are long but not overly difficult. There are also excellent practice facilities at the resort.
Golf Festival Schedule
Five rounds of organised golf on the Islantilla Golf course including two individual Stableford competitions for all golfers. Islantilla Golf Course 27 holes Blue Course 5956 metres, Par 71 Yellow Course 6084 metres, Par 72 Green Course 6142 metres, Par 71

Passport & Visa Information
We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa.

Golf Club Insurance
Clients will most probably find that their golf clubs are covered on their household insurance policy. Most policies cover a single item such as golf clubs for a period out of the country. However, clients should make very sure that they do have adequate cover for their equipment.
Buggy, Trolley & Club Hire
Most golf clubs have these items available for hire, however this is not always the case, so clients would be advised to check with us beforehand if they have any specific requirements.
Golf Cart - €42 per round
Pull-Trolley - €6
E-Trolley - €16 per round
It is advisable to reserve your requirements in advance to avoid disappointment. All hire charges are payable in resort and subject to change
Carriage of Clubs
We advise you to use a light golf bag when packing your clubs. We suggest you wrap a towel round the neck of the clubs to protect them and stop them rattling around whilst in transit. It is also important to then place the bag and clubs in an outer carrying bag, which can be purchased from any good golf shop.
What to Wear
Golf attire during the day. We suggest smart casual for the evenings.
Golf shoes with soft spikes are required.
Gratuities
We suggest a Group Collection to cover transfer drivers, and hotel staff of €25.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % add on.
