The area generates €400 million a year – more than any other region in Spain – through the golf industry, according to a survey by auditors KPMG.

The region has more than 100 registered golf courses, with Malaga and Cadiz provinces having the highest concentration of greens.

The Canary Islands generated the second highest income, approximately €177 million, followed by the Balearics with €161 million.
