Golf has something special: every hole tells a story, every swing is a little adventure. At Golf Santa Marina, we love seeing both seasoned players and those taking their first swings discover that charm.
This is a sport with centuries of history, full of anecdotes, surprising records, and traditions that make it unique in the world. Its roots go back to 15th-century Scotland, when players hit small balls with improvised clubs over dunes and uneven terrain. The first written rules date back to 1744 and included just 13 regulations, many of which are still in effect today, such as respecting the playing order and caring for the course.
Over the years, golf has witnessed spectacular achievements: holes over 900 meters long, drives exceeding 300 km/h, and feats combining technique, strength, and strategy. But beyond records, golf is full of traditions and little superstitions that give it character: from wearing specific hats in certain tournaments to avoiding stepping on another player’s putting line. These customs are part of the game’s charm and the culture that surrounds it.
Another remarkable curiosity of golf is its ability to bring together generations and cultures. On our courses, decades-long players mix with youngsters taking their first swings, all sharing the same passion. It’s a sport that fosters concentration, patience, and camaraderie—values that extend both on and off the course.
At Golf Santa Marina, every visit is an opportunity to experience these stories and curiosities firsthand. Our team of professionals not only teaches technique and strategy but also shares anecdotes and secrets of the game, giving every hole and swing added value. Whether you are an experienced player or someone just discovering the magic of golf, there is always something new to learn and be amazed by on every round.
