The regional government is enforcing regulations passed four years ago.

The Junta de Andaluc?a has rejected the construction of nine new golf courses in the region, saying the projects do not meet environmental and town planning demands. Six of the golf courses are inland and three on the coast.
The problem is that most of the new projects have housing included and do not meet regulations introduced by the Junta four years ago, where they have to justify tourist interest.

The affected inland projects are in El Agujetero, Osuna, and Montellano Golf in Sevilla province, Finca Corvite in Almog?a and Las Lom?s in Casarabonela in M?laga province, Las Lomas del Duque in Lucena, C?rdoba, and Castillo de Tajarja in Chimeneas, Granada.

The coastal projects are at Hoya ?ltica in Almer?a, Las Palmares between Salobre?a and Molvizar in Granada province, and the La Joyita Golf in Barbate, C?diz.

Two courses in C?diz province have met the Junta?s regulations, in Jimena de la Frontera where a 600 house and 900 tourist apartment complex is part of the project, and in Castellar de la Frontera, Sotogrande, where a 150 houses have been approved to complement the famous Valderrama course.

One interesting project in its first phase is promoted by the Libyan Foreign Bank and located in La Resinera on the Costa del Sol. The 70 million square metres of land, which was owned by Gadaffi, will see five million of it for a new course and 1,200 homes.
