Just when you’ve been kicked up the arse by Ryanair who now charge €50 quid each way to bring your clubs on your Spanish golf holiday, you then get fleeced for crazy green fees at the courses.
After doing a little bit of research however, I may just have the perfect solution to save a lot of money on this year’s Spanish golfing holiday.
The Cheapest Green Fees
Just came across a sweet little website http://www.murciagolf.co/ for booking really cheap green fees in the Murcia region of Spain. You basically just give the guys your dates and preferred courses and they come back to you within a day with availability and the lowest green fees guaranteed. All the top courses are on the website like La Manga (South), Las Colinas, El Valle, Alhama Signature and Roda.
If you want to book, you pay the guys and they issue a voucher.
Half Ryanair Golf Bag Charges
Of course you can rent clubs, but in truth the majority want to bring their own sticks. However at €50 each way Ryanair are rubbing their hands with glee to see you coming. One idea to half the Ryanair charge is to put two sets of clubs into one actual bag. You wont be over the weight limit and you wont be breaking any rules. There is nothing in the Ryanair terms about having more than 14 clubs. Of course this only works if two golfers travel together and IF you have the right type of bag. We use Ping Moon Lite II bags for all our golf holidays. Stick two sets of clubs in one bag and bring the other bag in your carry on. At just 0.9 Kg’s or less than 2 pounds, the Ping Moon Lite II is feather light and folds away to nothing but has a spine with a break in the middle which makes it perfect for carrying, putting on a trolley or on a buggy. Most other really light pencil bags have no spine and they collapse like an accordion on a buggy. The Ping Moon Lite II is lighter than them all and gobbles up two sets no problem.
Enjoy your golfing holiday this year! And if you see me out there, mines a San Miguel. And make sure they fill it to the top!
