Golfing near the Camino de Santiago

Although we do not offer golfing tours, we know that there are Pilgrims who love to golf. The good news is that near the Camino de Santiago there are several top-notch golfing courses.

So here’s an idea for a once-in-a-lifetime experience: After your Camino de Santiago Tour, continue your vacation in Spain at a nearby golf course.

Here’s a tentative list to whet your appetite.

Galicia

Real Club de Golf de La Coruña (A Coruña)

All our Galician Camino de Santiago tours end in Santiago de Compostela, and less than an hour way is the city of A Coruña, which is on the English Way.

Club the Golf de la Toja (Toja Island)

Imagine playing golf on a small island that ranks among the top 50 nine-hole courses in the world* ? The island itself is worth a visit and easy to get to from Pontevedra on the Camino Portugués.
