Now, a new irrigation system in Costa del Sol ensures that [40+ golf courses](https://www.visitcostadelsol.com/golf?_ga=2.215639319.1063799852.1583238943-1270218488.1582639682) are treated with recycled water—water that has been thoroughly cleaned, purified, regenerated and distributed all over the region. Adding to that, updates to the area’s water recycling plant are currently underway to ensure that future water parks and public gardens are treated with recycled water, as well. With this news, golf courses all over Costa del Sol are getting a **“seal of quality”** to recognise their sustainable management efforts. According to Andalusian regulations, golf courses MUST be irrigated with recycled water, as long as such water is readily available. Because of this ruling, an estimated 6 million cubic meters of recycled water are used every year just for golf. ** ![ sustainable management of natural resources](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CDS%20-%20blogpost%20%20(53).jpg?width=730&name=CDS%20-%20blogpost%20%20(53).jpg)** ## **Costa del Sol, the best European golf destination** Costa del Sol was named the **“Best European Golf Destination”** by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO), an organisation of 2,716 golf tour operators that are responsible for 87% of the world’s golf vacation packages. (These packages include resorts, hotels, golf courses, airlines, tourist offices and business partners in 105 countries.) This prestigious recognition is even more special when you consider that it is voted on by tour operators themselves, professionals who, by definition, are experts in the travel sector and who are familiar with golf courses across the globe. While there are fabulous golf courses across the globe, not all of them were created with environmentalism in mind. Today, that’s changing. As Costa del Sol knows, water reuse is a fundamental measure to make golf a more sustainable sport, and a key tool in the proper management and conservation of our planet’s natural resources.   [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1995901/58a6bc04-e71a-4413-a355-8289e31c8e41.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1995901/58a6bc04-e71a-4413-a355-8289e31c8e41) 06 March 2020 [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.visitacostadelsol.com%2Fen%2Fgolf-sustainable-costa-sol%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.visitacostadelsol.com%2Fen%2Fgolf-sustainable-costa-sol%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.visitacostadelsol.com%2Fen%2Fgolf-sustainable-costa-sol%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Golf%20is%20more%20sustainable%20than%20ever%20in%20Costa%20del%20Sol) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Échale%20un%20vistazo%20a%20%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.visitacostadelsol.com%2Fen%2Fgolf-sustainable-costa-sol%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Échale%20un%20vistazo%20a%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.visitacostadelsol.com%2Fen%2Fgolf-sustainable-costa-sol%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ## Search in our blog This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty. ## All about the Costa del Sol in your inbox Submit your email address and receive exclusive information and great offers about the Costa del Sol. ### Categories - [golf](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/en/topic/golf) - sport - [luxury](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/en/topic/luxury) [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1995901/f1cbe1d8-bf93-4052-bc5d-1c709a053faf.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1995901/f1cbe1d8-bf93-4052-bc5d-1c709a053faf) ## Related posts - [Español](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/es/deporte-sostenible-golf-costa-del-sol) - Inglés - [Alemán](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/de/golf-ist-an-der-costa-del-sol-nachhaltiger-denn-je) - [Francés](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/fr/golf-durable-costa-sol) - [Noruego Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/nor) - [Sueco Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/se) - [Danés Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/dk) - [Finlandés Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/fin) - [Ruso](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/ru/как-никогда-экологически-устойчивый-гольф-на-коста-дель-соль) - [Chino](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/ch/在太阳海岸高尔夫比以往任何时候都更具可持续性) ![costa_del_sol_logo_color](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/costa_del_sol_logo_color.png "costa_del_sol_logo_color") ### Síguenos en redes sociales [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-01.png)](https://www.facebook.com/visitacostadelsol) [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-02.png)](https://www.instagram.com/visitacostadelsol/) [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-03.png)](https://twitter.com/vivecostadelsol) [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-04.png)](https://www.youtube.com/user/visitacostadelsol) [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-05.png)](https://es.pinterest.com/vivecostadelsol/) [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-06.png)](https://plus.google.com/+visitacostadelsol) ![Rectángulo 21](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Rect%C3%A1ngulo%2021.jpg "Rectángulo 21") © Turismo y Planificación Costa del Sol S.L.U.
