Golf course designers in Spain: which courses each one designed
CostaCaddie names the designer of 56 golf courses in Spain, all on the Costa del Sol: 42 designers, 12 of them credited at 2 courses or more. Named at the most courses: Robert Trent Jones, with 9. On 1 Nov 2026, 27 of them hold an 18-hole visitor green fee in force. Across the 22 full-length courses among those, they run from €56 at Duquesa Golf Club (valid 1 Oct 2026 to 31 Dec 2026, verified on 26 Oct 2026) to €600 at Real Club Valderrama (valid 1 Jan 2026 to 31 Dec 2026, verified on 8 Oct 2026).
Each design credit is given as written in CostaCaddie's course data, original design, co-design or redesign. The green fee is the course's cheapest 18-hole visitor rate in force on 1 Nov 2026 at standard tee times; a dash means CostaCaddie holds no such rate for that course.
Where a club charges one rate on weekdays and another at weekends and on holidays, its row shows the lower of the two, names the days it holds on and prints the other beside it.
