In 2017, Your Golf Travel, Mark Crossfield and Coach Lockey set off to play a wide variety of golfing locations across the golfing kingdom that is Andalucia. Armed with factor 50, an armada of golf balls and a faithful Vauxhall Zafira, 18 golf courses were played...at a par of 72. Incidents occured. Golf balls were lost and birdies were found.
This series of videos, which form part of an 18-hole match showcased just what Andalucia has to offer, from the coastal views in Huelva to the mountainous terrain in Marbella to the desert like courses in Almeria.
Rory takes you through his 5 favourite courses from the tour, as well as some of his favourite funny moments. In 2018, the boys will be going back to Andalucia, and you have the power to tell them where to film!

Rory, I got to say, what a spectacular region to play golf! I will definitely be keeping Andalucia high on the list for my next overseas holiday. Having watched most of, if not all, the Muppet tours, I am still surprised by Mark's course conduct. While I think most of "it" is in jest, there's something there that sets me off. I think that you, above all, have taken the brunt of the "stick" and are the better man for it. I do think you're correct, though, when you were talking about wrist angles. After you mentioned it in this video, I went back and looked at some of your earlier swings. Not that I'm a great coach but it appears that when you make a series of good/great strikes, your wrist set at the top, coupled with a slower transition, is less cocked (has less angle). It's closer to the "wooden man" swing which I personally have found to produce greater accuracy. Thanks again, for your hard work and your great attitude!
No probs Glenn glad you're enjoying the video bruh. To be fair I give Mark more ammo than the others! ;-) Glad to hear you're thinking of Andalucia...it really does tick all of the boxes for golf. Drop me a line at raymondo@yourgolftravel.com if you ever want to discuss some holiday options.
Thanks for watching!
Rory
Great comment Glenn. I have to agree. Rory has really begun to produce some very useful videos which are more balanced in content that Mr. Chief Muppet, who, on occasion, really winds me up. I've been to Portugal with YGT and I must say it was memorable. Andalucia is certainly on my golf bucket list now. Rory, keep them coming. Doing a really good job!
Cheers Bernard appreciate the feedback bruh...glad you're enjoying the videos. Where abouts in Portugal did you play out of interest?
PS - Drop me a line at raymondo@yourgolftravel.com if you ever want to discuss an Andalucia trip...always here to help!
Thanks,
Rory
Production 2nd to None!Hilarious Factor,
Off The Charts!!
Haha cheers Tim...we do have a good laugh and glad you guys can laugh along too!
Yes La Cala... Can't wait for our trip
You'll have a cracking time Matt it's a quality resort.
Make sure you go to the Venta el Jinete restaurant if you like a bit of steak...just outside the resort gates...great little place! Can I ask how you decided to book La Cala...did you see it on the original Greatest18 tour?
Cheers,
Rory
We shall give that place a try then! Love a steak! We booked on around December I think after loads of research into places around that region. So when your videos came out we were glad to see it featured. I think the America course is closed though while we are there :( Still looking for one more course off sight for a day trip close by if you have any recommendations??
get down to Santana on the Mijas Costa...it´s a gem...Cabel Robinson course in an old avocado grove.....a good course you can walk as there aren´t many on the costa you can.Have Fun.When you´ve finished ,turn left leaving Santana and drive up to Alhaurin el Grande and go to Bar Sardina....magic typical andalucian food in a nice typical andalucian village.God I wish I was going with you......!!!.....come to Madrid and we´ll get out....fantastic courses here and around also...maybe plan a tour
Madrid sounds fun! Which courses would you recommend out that way Richard?
Club de Campo,Negro course would be a great start,almost within the city,then you have to travel to the outskirts.Not far to the west you have Lomas Bosque,a Gary Player course,very technical with a very dificult par 5 to start off.Moving to the north,some 10 mins out of the city is probably where you have the best selection of top quality courses,2 Jack Nicklaus signature courses at The Moraleja courses 2 and 3 where you will find the best greens ever,typicaly running at 11 or 12,just over road is El Race and next door is Club de Golf Real Sociedad Hípica Española Club de Campo(RSHECC)where the north route is the championship course,very select and always to highest standard.
A short excursion to El Escorial you have La Herreria,a tree lined complicated course with fantastic views of the famous monastery which is right next door,well worth the 45 mins by car.
15 mins from the airport is Los Retamares which is my home course,an Olazábal design which has a bit of everything and is always very well maintained all year round.
There are many more but you can´t go wrong with the ones I´ve mentioned,some would mention The Santander couse,which is a Rees Jones design but hasn´t been of best in the last few years and the 2 routes at Puerta de Hierro,which is one of the oldest and most select courses in Spain,very dificult to get a reasonable green fee.
All are very walkable courses,even the ones not mentioned,not something you will find easily on the coasts,especialy in the south.
Great vid Rory and what a prize!
Keep up the good work
Cheers Martin glad you enjoyed it bruh. Good luck with the competition!
Great over view. You guys make golf fun. Cheers
Thanks Mike glad you enjoyed it bruh...yep...if there's one thing we can all agree on it's that golf is fun and we try to have as much of it as possible!
Ever considered Andalucia for a future golf trip?
Love it Ray! Good stuff. Boom!
Cheers Charles,
Hope you've entered the competition brah! ;-)
For the 11th year running off to La Cala this week for 7 rounds of golf on the Europe an Asia courses (Americas closed for renovation). Will be dining at El Jinete as mentioned by Rory. Good food and great location near to the resort.
7 rounds?? Solid effort that Adrian. Hope you made the correct select when it came to choosing a company to book your trip through bruh! Haha ;-)
El Jinete is lovely isn't it? Brilliant food and the people are great too.
Loved the courses we played in Spain. Torrequebrada was a fantastic course. A bit to hard for the higher handicappers in our group, but I must admit one if not the best course I've played on the Costa del Dol in over the 12 years travelling to that region. Already organising the next trip to Mar Menor next year with Matt at YGT. Love all your videos. Cheers Rory.
Amazing content Rory. Love it!
Cheers Kevin.
Have you entered the competition brah?!
I have! Thanks!
Sick drone footage
Nice isn't it? Brilliantly edited too...
Haha ;-)
Thanks for watching bruh.
Rory
Couldn't agree more on the par 3 stuff
It baffles me to be honest...as Lockey says in the video, par 3s don't have to be 200 yards+. That hole at Torrequebrada was a stunner and, as you can see from the scores, certainly not a pushover!
Thanks for watching bruh...
Rory
Anytime bruh, love your editing and video's. Here's a great example of a very nice par 3 on the Hilversumsche GolfClub in The Netherlands 130 yards ua-cam.com/video/0llTyUOP9R4/v-deo.html
I enjoyed the greatest 18 holes. when you you came to Almeria you should have played Aguilon the best golf course in the region a good test of your skills. I understand why not because its not a golf resort yet. enjoying your channel Rory, look forward to the next video.
Thanks bruh glad you're enjoying the videos. There were lots of courses we'd like to have stopped at to be honest...didn't think we could squeeze in a 20th in 5 days though! Haha ;-)
Cheers for watching Nic,
Rory
That’s the hardest laugh @Mark I’ve ever had! What a “lovely” clown....did I see Planet X @2:36? Woohoo!
Playing Lauro. Santa Clara. Torrequebrada an Americas course La Cala thus September arranged by Matt at yourgolftravel. Probably the 4th or 5th trip via YGT. Always excellent
Glad to hear you've had good experiences Will...I"ll pass on your comments to Matt and tell him to keep up the good work!
Your trip sounds great...be sure to drop me a line at raymondo@yourgolftravel.com if you ever need help sorting out your future trips bruh...always happy to help!
Cheers,
Rory
Cheers Rory. Will be organising the 2019 trip sometime in October.
Love your videos with Crossfield, Lockey and Get up Dan.
Thanks and best wishes
Will
Useful video featuring a good range of courses. Just come back from Andalucia, and played Santana (agree with the other comments here - excellent) and Calanova (very hilly, but in great condition). Also ate at La Jinete near La Cala, and can also recommend the food there. Great area for a golf holiday.
Another top notch vid Rory. A couple of observations: The monument in the background at the start of the vid looks like a gigantic mutant schlong. You took off outta the shot like Usain Bolt. I thought maybe nature was calling. Then enter the office shot with a big sigh (of relief?) I had to laugh. Thoroughly enjoy your vids and commentary. cheers
Haha hadn't picked up on those points Bob! Glad you're enjoying the videos bruh.
Cheers,
Ray
Just back from the area got married at La Cala resort some venue and was lucky enough to get to play Asia course there and Torrequebrada would love to see ye play full 18
Going to be allot different this time Rory....#CustomShop :)
It's OK my Crossfield filter is getting stronger. ;-) And then if he's my partner he can custom shop the others to death as far as I'm concerned! ;-)
Great stuff Rory. Maybe a few less air quotes 😂
You should get an RV or something similar and then make it a road trip for the next visit that would be comedy genius and UA-cam gold! make it happen Rory. :o)
I want to take Oliver's place when I win the holiday trip... Lol
I'm afraid Grandad Dan has already been subbed in! Defo keep your eyes peeled for that comp winner...you never know bruh!
Your Golf Travel did you travel with crossfield to the US this week?
This video reminds me of the time that I enjoyed golf games in La Cala Golf Resort. I thought American course was better than other courses in La Cala. Players in buggy car can use golf course navigation system in American course, and other course were not available.
🤙
@@yourgolftravel I anticipate that your channel shows us more beautiful and challenging golf courses. Although I am a Korean, I personally prefer Andalucian courses~~^^
You shoud try more economic courses, Lauro Golf, Añoreta, Alhaurín el Grande, Parador...
Dude, the prices are high. It’s cheaper to play in the UK. Also there is no Golf Now listings. But great weather and great area. But of course I’m a cheapskate. These are great golf courses. Give us many more Andalusia Golf games and courses.
Quick search of the YGT website and Montecastillo is 3 Nights + 3 Rounds of Golf in Spain from £149 which sounds like value for money to me Dicky! Why use Golf Now...this is a YGT video? Cheers, Rory
Mark is the real life caddyshack if he is playing crap he will do his best to spoil your game.
All in good fun bruh!

Would love to play it one day bruh. Shame we couldn't fit it in during the original Greatest 18 tour as they had a member's comp running on the day we could've fit it in.
