Plan Your Golf: Extended Opening Hours for Easter Week (Semana Santa)
As Semana Santa, or Easter Week in Spain, approaches, Costa Ballena Golf has published updated opening hours covering the holiday period and the days immediately before and after it. If you are planning to play during one of the busiest spring periods on the Cádiz coast, it is worth checking the schedule in advance, as the closing times change depending on the date.

Book tee times in advance for Semana Santa

New outlet pro shop at Costa Ballena Golf
Alongside the seasonal schedule changes, Costa Ballena Golf has also introduced a new outlet pro shop offering. The new section includes selected items and previous collections at reduced prices, giving visiting golfers another reason to stop by before or after their round.
Semana Santa in Rota, Costa Ballena and Chipiona
If you are staying in Costa Ballena during Semana Santa, it is well worth taking the opportunity to experience the local processions in the nearby towns of Rota and Chipiona. Semana Santa, or Easter Week in Spain, follows a clear daily rhythm, with processions taking place throughout the week.
Each town has its own character — from the more intimate, community feel in Chipiona to the larger, more structured processions in Rota — and many of the key events take place in the evenings, making them easy to combine with a round of golf earlier in the day. For a clearer overview of timings and routes, see the local guides for Semana Santa in Chipiona 2026 and Semana Santa in Rota 2026.
