Where to Get Spanish Golfing Jobs?
The best area to look for work would be the Costa Del Sol which is located in the south of Spain and naturally it has the best weather.
Between Malaga and Gibraltar alone, there are over 40 courses.
Unfortunately if you only speak English and you do not speak Spanish you will be very limited in the type of golf jobs that you will be able to get in Spain.
Your best bet is to find some sort of golf teaching to expatriates who also do not speak any Spanish.
Popular expatriate areas in Spain include the Costa del Sol with major towns being Marbella, Puerto Banus, Malaga and Mijas.
Popular Spanish islands include Mallorca, Ibiza and Tenerife.
The Costa Blanca coast which includes Alicante would be an excellent choice if you are a golf pro or caddy.
La Manga Golf Careers – Perhaps the most popular golf club in Spain for expatriates is that the La Manga golf club which is extremely international, attracting golfers from all over the world and especially the United Kingdom.
In the summer La Manga golf employ over 1000 staff so the opportunities for working there are good. You won’t necessarily be involved directly in a golfing job, instead you are more likely to be part of the hotel and hospitality staff perhaps serving in the restaurant or bars.
“La Manga Club is one of the world’s finest resorts. Located in an exceptional setting, blessed by a year-round Mediterranean climate and covering an area of some 1400 acres it is truly a sports and leisure paradise, with a luxury spa, golf, tennis, a 5 star hotel, holiday apartments, meetings facilities, over 20 restaurants and bars…”
