“…Concerning environmental impacts, Villar-Lama and Férnandez-Tabales [92] confirm that golf courses of a tourist and sports nature have a lower territorial and environmental impact than residential complexes linked to the real estate business. Likewise, Villar-Lama [88] ensures that golf courses are critical pieces in the urbanization process of the Costa del Sol and the commercialization of the landscape.…”

Golf tourism is an important sector in the tourism industry, in terms of average daily expenditure per visitor. However, golf tourism also generates social and political controversies, mainly due to its impact on the environment. The main objective of this paper is to observe the progress of research on golf tourism from the perspective of sustainability. For this, the study is based on identifying the scientific production on the subject from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Thus, we have detected 46 articles published in scientific journals in the last 22 years. The findings indicate five lines of research, such as environmental impacts, environmental management, environmental attitudes and behaviors, conflict of interests, and sustainable management and planning. Environmental impact is the most prolific content, while environmental attitudes and behaviors are the least frequent, but the latter is the most current line of research.

“…Many of these new, high-end residential developments included a golf course as an attraction to boost sales. In our study area, most courses are located in Andalusia, especially in the province of Malaga (about 50 or half the total number in the region) [41]. As of 2020, Catalonia had 41 courses, Valencia 38, the Balearic Islands 22, and Murcia 19 [42].…”

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are fundamental to enable the transition towards the principles of a circular economy in water supply. In Mediterranean Spain, an area with recurrent episodes of water stress, treated wastewater may become a critical resource for the future. However, its incorporation into the array of potential water options opens up questions regarding the different qualities obtained with each treatment, the extent of existing water reuse practices, or the governance regime of plants. In this paper, the state of WWTPs in Mediterranean Spain is analyzed, with focus on plant sizes, treatment technologies, water use, and governance regimes. The latter shows a strong presence of private WWTPs and a lesser extent of public–private WWTPs, while the number of public plants is small. Regarding treatment technologies, the most sophisticated systems are found in public–private plants that are also the largest in size. Reclaimed water is very significant for agricultural and golf course irrigation in some areas (Valencia, Murcia, Andalusia), but still relatively incipient for other uses.

“…Several other research papers and studies underline issues like the connection between golf practice and golf tourism, on the one hand, and, on the other, environmental aspects (Markwick, 2000;Videira, Correia, Alves, Ramires, Subti & Martins, 2006;Woodside, 2009), the territorial perspective (Villar & Fernández, 2013), the service quality as perceived by users of golf clubs (Serrano, Rial, García & Gambau, 2013) or the quality in the management of the golf courses (Iglesias & Sanz, 2017).…”

“…As a result of this, golf tourism  has come to designate the activity of visitors whose main motivation is to practise this sport in diverse locations, which in turn enables them to discover areas and regions within their own territories and beyond. The golf could be an element of tourism and sports qualification -one that can be used to support and develop quality tourism policies (Villar & Fernández, 2013).…”

El deporte en general, se ha consolidado como una de las principales actividades recreativas de nuestra sociedad, además de un indicador significativo del bienestar y calidad de vida de los ciudadanos, y de un pretexto para el disfrute de nuestras vacaciones en áreas diferentes al de nuestra residencia habitual, dando lugar al turismo deportivo. El deporte del golf contribuye a este tipo de turismo, principalmente en las regiones costeras del sur de Europa, apoyado esencialmente en la excelente climatología que se disfruta en ellas, y en la fuerte penetración de este deporte en algunos países europeos. En este trabajo realizamos una breve presentación de la práctica actual de este deporte en estas regiones (situadas entre los paralelos 37 y 41), así como de los factores adicionales que contribuyen a la promoción del turismo de golf en estas zonas, y el impacto económico sobre ellas.
