Alhaurin
Alhaurin (located Alhaurin El Grande 4 km) 18 hole, 5857
metres, par 72. It's a new course designed by Seve
Ballesteros and is particularly attractive because of its
bright green fairways amidst the mountains and natural dark
green vegetation. Its main characteristic is its hilly
design which is largely adapted to the natural form of the
surroundings
Alcaidesa
Alcaidesa (San Roque) 18 hole, 5385 metres, par 71.
Alcaidesa Links Golf Club, which opened in 1992, is an
experience that cannot be found elsewhere in Spain. It is
the first true links course in the country, located to the
west of San Roque, in an area rich with enthusiastic
golfers.
Almenara
Almenara (Valderrama, San Roque) 18 hole. Opened in March
1998, the layout has two clearly defined sections, the first
of which traces its path through wooded terrain. The second
is a more open area where the course hugs the shores of a
spectacular lake.
Atalaya
Atalaya (San Pedro) 36 hole, 5848/5101 metres, par 72.
One of the most popular courses on the Costa del Sol since
opening in 1966. Situated between Marbella and Estepona, it
is suitable for all levels of play from total beginners to
professionals. Also a large driving range; tuition
available.
Paraiso
El Paraiso (Estepona, Marbella 14 km) 18 hole, 5729
metres, par 71. Situated in a valley surrounded by hills
with magnificent views of the coast. Designed by Gary
Player; friendly atmosphere and weekly competitions.
Estepona
Estepona (Estepona 2 km) 18 hole, 5610 metres, par 72. This
wild course is a pleasing contrast to the manicured courses
of the coast. Although relatively short, the course is up
and down and a buggy is advisable.
Guadalhorce
Guadalhorce (Campanillas, inland - Malaga airport 7 km) 18
hole, 5860 metres, par 72. Its friendly family atmosphere is
probably the main feature of this course. The front nine has
an English parkland type design, whereas the second has more
elevated greens and hilly fairways.
Guadalmina
Guadalmina (San Pedro) 36 hole, 5874/5674 metres, par
72/71. The north course was opened in 1973 and is shorter
and more hilly than the South course and presents several
difficult lakes. It requires a precise drive through the
middle of the fairways so as not to end up in one of the
water hazards. The South course is the older of the two and
is famous for its high difficulty level; suitable for the
more experienced player.
La Cala
La Cala (Mijas Costa) 36 hole, 5454/5782 metres, par
72/73. La Cala features 36 holes, a David Leadbetter Golf
Academy and a 6 hole par 3 course. Both full length courses
require good shotmaking to elevated greens and reward
accuracy rather than power off the tees. The north course is
in eagle country with breathtaking views across the south
course towards the sea. There is also an excellent country
club with squash, tennis, sauna and swimming.
La Duquesa
La Duquesa (Manilva, Estepona 10 km) 18 hole, 5575
metres, par 72. La Duquesa offers an interesting and varied
game due to
its long fairways and has two distinctly different parts.
The first 9 has wide fairways although the greens will
supply difficulties; the second 9 has narrow fairways and
high greens.
La Quinta
La Quinta (Puerto Banus, Nueva Andalucia) 27 hole,
5333/5489/5540 metres, par 72/72/72. Consists of three
combinable courses. Although apparently easy, it is in fact
very demanding due to the design of the fairways and the
excellent quality of its greens.
Lauro
Lauro (Alhaurin de la Torre) 18 hole, 5679 metres, par 72.
One of the new courses in the Malaga area. Situated 300
metres above sea level, Lauro Golf offers spectacular views
of the valley of Malaga and the Mediterranean Sea. Most of
the holes are cut between lines of olive trees; to add to
the difficulty there are several carefully placed water
hazards. The clubhouse is an old cortijo built around a
shaded courtyard and its open restaurant is perfect for
dining out on a warm evening.

|
Los Arqueros |
|
|
Los Arqueros (San Pedro 5 km) 18 hole, 5684 metres, par 72.
The first course on the Costa del Sol designed by Seve
Ballesteros; in its construction over a million cubic metres
of earth was moved. Set in the mountains the landscape is
breathtaking, yet the course is said to be easy to walk. |
|
Los Naranjos |
|
|
Los Naranjos (Puerto Banus, Nueva Andalucia) 18 hole,
6038 metres, par 72. Rates itself as 'The Costa del Sol's
friendly golf club'. Long terraced tees and large undulating
greens are the unmistakable hallmarks of a Robert
Trent-Jones design. Maximum use has been made of the orange
trees from which the course takes its name. Maintenance is a
priority here. |
|
Marbella |
|
|
Marbella (Marbella 8 km) 18 hole, 5679 metres, par 72. This
is a very competitive course, demanding much precision, as
its
fairways are rather narrow and surrounded by hills and
slopes. The greens are especially difficult because there
are no straight putts. Very entertaining.
|
|
Mijas |
|
|
Mijas (Fuengirola) 36 hole, 5973/5866 metres, par 71/72.
Mijas Golf is probably the busiest, most popular golf
complex on the Costa del Sol. It has two 18 hole layouts
which are ideal for enjoyable holiday golf. Los Lagos which
opened in 1976 was designed by Robert Trent-Jones and has
all his hallmarks - wide fairways, large raised greens and
an extravagant application of vast bunkers and water. The
course is virtually free of rough and is practically flat
except for a slight incline. The par 5, 5th is a 571 metre
monster....quite interesting! The newer Los Olivos (1984) is
a bit shorter, less water but more trees and narrower
fairways than its sister course. This course favours the
precision golfer rather than the big hitter. |
|
Miraflores |
|
|
Miraflores (Mijas Costa) 18 hole, 5190 metres, par 70. One
of the Costa del Sol's top leisure and resort developments.
Miraflores is located in the hills of the Mijas Costa which
offer breathtaking views. There is also a floodlit driving
range and golf academy which offers professional
instruction. |
|
Monte Mayor |
|
|
Monte Mayor (San Pedro 8 km) 18 hole, 5354 metres, par 70.
"A golfing experience" is the only way to describe this
course which is probably the most spectacular in Andalucia.
A challenging course with superb quality greens; the natural
beauty of its situation and its quietness will make your
round of golf unforgettable. The green fee includes buggy
hire. A "must" on your golfing itinerary. |
|
Parador |
|
|
Parador (Malaga, nr airport) 18 hole, 6204 metres, par 72.
Inaugurated by the Spanish Royal Family in 1925, it is the
oldest course on the coast. The layout is part links with
natural lagoons formed by sea water and part parkland with
tree lined avenues. |
|
Rio Real |
|
|
Rio Real (3 km East of Marbella) 18 hole, 5886 metres,
par 72. Designed by Spain's number one golf architect,
Javier Arana. With wonderful views, well established trees
that give much appreciated shade plus the River Real which
intersects the course at several points.....golf here is a
very pleasant experience. |
|
San Roque |
|
|
San Roque ( San Roque) 18 hole, 6048 metre, par 72. The
Andalucian headquarters of the PGA European Tour. The course
is challenging but very enjoyable for both professionals and
amateurs alike; the clubhouse is one of the most welcoming
anywhere and the restaurant is worth a visit. |
|
Santa Maria |
|
|
Santa Maria (Mijas Costa) 18 hole, 5366 metres, par 70.
The course traces the contours of the valley and offers
distracting views of the Mediterranean. The front nine are
shorter and more complicated than the back nine which are
flatter and have wider fairways; greens are generally
spacious. |
|
Sotogrande |
|
|
Sotogrande (Sotogrande) 18 hole, 5853 metres, par 72. The
Club de Golf Sotogrande was founded in 1964 and is located
in beautiful natural surroundings. A Robert Trent-Jones
design and one of which he was particularly proud. |
|
Torrequebrada |
|
|
Torrequebrada (Benalmadena Costa) 18 hole, 5513 metres, par
72. Opened in 1976, this is one of Spain's best loved
courses. It has hosted many world class tournaments
including the Spanish Open. Because of the large number of
lakes and strategically placed bunkers, every hole is a
different experience for the player.
|
|
Valderrama |
|
|
Valderrama (Sotogrande/San Roque) 18 hole, 5864 metres, par
71. Few introductions are needed to Spain's most famous
club. For 9 years it was home to the PGA European Tour's
grand finale and the Volvo Masters - it then moved up a
class to host the 1997 Ryder Cup. Valderrama is a Robert
Trent-Jones masterpiece and with the care heaped on it by
the club owner and president there is little wonder it is
rated the No.1 course in Europe. Contrary to common belief,
the club is not a members-only fiefdom but is open every day
to fee paying guests.
