Hi

I’m hoping to move to Spain but wanted to know what the average golf course greenkeeper’s wage is, especially as I’m reading that I need 2,500 Euros a month to have an average lifestyle.  Thanks in advance for any replies.

I think that amount is a bit excessive but maybe not in the coastal area. I’m in the Jaen region where the average monthly wage is around 850 euros.

2500 a month seems a bit high. Mind you, depends on your lifestyle I suppose 😉

I work with kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms and general interior rennovation work, including many skills and trades and charge about 80 euros a day. Working 5 days a week thats 400 euros a week. We live more than comfortably on this in Granada province.

What you need to look at is the Spanish average wages for similar work. Contact a few golf clubs and see what the going rate is based upon your expertise and experience.
