The third edition of the Fetajo golf championship is in the books, and it was a memorable day at El Chaparral Golf Club in Mijas. Players, families and the Fetajo Rent a Car team gathered for the prize-giving ceremony to celebrate a full field of competitors and crown the champions of the 2026 edition.
At Fetajo Rent a Car we have been moving travellers around Málaga and the Costa del Sol since 1982, and days like this one bring our community together on and off the fairways. Thank you to everyone who teed off with us — your energy made the tournament special.
A festive afternoon at El Chaparral Golf Club
The clubhouse filled with green-and-yellow Fetajo balloons, trophies and plenty of smiles as the awards were handed out. Set among pine trees with sea views, El Chaparral Golf Club is one of the most emblematic courses on the Mijas coast and a fitting stage for the Fetajo golf championship.
It was a warm, sociable end to the day. Winners posed with their families — partners and children included — and players stayed on to swap stories from the round. That easy, welcoming atmosphere is exactly what we hope for every time we bring the golf community together.

Prizes, gifts and good company
Beyond the trophies, the Fetajo golf championship rewarded its players with Fetajo-branded golf gear — towels, caps and a cart bag — along with wine, gourmet products and a spa circuit voucher. It was a relaxed, family-friendly close to a competitive day of golf, with children and partners joining the winners for the photos.
Getting to the Costa del Sol’s golf courses
Whether you are visiting for a tournament like the Fetajo golf championship or planning a golf getaway along the coast, having your own car makes every tee time easy to reach. You can rent a car with Fetajo and drive from Málaga Airport straight to Mijas, Marbella and the rest of the Costa del Sol at your own pace.
We have been looking after travellers on the Costa del Sol since 1982, and golf visitors are a big part of our story. With clubs and tee times spread across the coast — from Mijas to Marbella and beyond — a comfortable, reliable car turns a packed golf schedule into an easy, flexible trip, whether you are competing, practising or simply exploring between rounds.
