We find spring (April-June) and early autumn (September-October) offer the most pleasant conditions for golf in Cantabria. You'll enjoy mild temperatures and fewer crowds, making for a relaxed round on the region's lush courses. Summers are beautiful too, but expect more local holidaymakers enjoying the coast.

You're in for a truly different experience here. Forget arid landscapes; Cantabria offers lush, green courses often framed by the dramatic Picos de Europa mountains and the sparkling Bay of Biscay. It's about quality over quantity, with each of its six courses providing a distinct challenge and breathtaking views.

Absolutely, it's perfect for that. With only a handful of courses, you'll have ample time to explore the region's stunning natural beauty, from the Picos de Europa National Park to the charming coastal towns. We recommend basing yourself near Santander to easily access both golf and cultural highlights, like the Botín Centre.
