Parador de Málaga Golf strengthens the Costa del Sol’s position as a leading European golf destination

Parador de Málaga Golf hosted the 16th edition of the Costa del Golf Tourism Pro-Am, a tournament created to bring together key figures from the provincial golf industry and promote the Costa del Sol as a specialist golf destination.

Held on 1 July 2014, the event welcomed 120 participants representing 30 golf courses. It was organised by the Málaga-Costa del Sol Tourism Board with the support of Turismo Andaluz, Golfspain, Parador de Málaga Golf and the Royal Andalusian Golf Federation.

El Chaparral wins the team competition

The El Chaparral team claimed first place with a score of 129 strokes. Almenara Golf finished second with 130, while La Duquesa Golf completed the podium with 132.

In the professional classification, Manuel Quiñones recorded a round of 68 strokes to take the individual title. At the same time, Lauro Golf hosted a parallel competition for members of the media, sponsors, institutional representatives and invited guests.

The awards ceremony also included a special recognition for golf course designer Enrique Canales, honouring his career and contribution to the development of golf in Málaga.

Beyond the sporting results, the event served as a meeting point for clubs, managers and professionals connected to the sector. Initiatives of this kind help showcase the variety of golf courses across the province and reinforce the Costa del Sol’s reputation within the European golf tourism market.
