Costa del Sol Golf Golf Courses
Los
Arqueros - Par 72 6,460 yards
In the last 2 years, new owners have invested heavily in the course
and it is now in splendid condition. Designed by Seve Ballesteros and
with great views of the Mediterranean, the course's undulating terrain
and narrow fairways make it a challenging test of golf.
Estepona
- Par 72. 6600 yards
One of the most improved golf courses on the Costa del Sol and well
worth a visit. With its tight fairways and long par 30's, Estepona provides
a challenging game of golf in scenic surroundings. Great value for money
and normally not as crowded as some of the other Costa del Sol courses.
Los
Naranjos - Par 72 6,708 yards
A very attractive, well laid out course, Los Naranjos is not very hilly
but there are some tight holes through avenues of orange trees, from
which the course takes its name. Designed by Robert Trent Jones,it is
an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all standards.
Torrequebrada
- Par 72 6385 yards
An
outstanding golf course recognised as one of the most challenging on
the Costa del Sol. The course has hosted the Spanish Open and many other
Spanish tournaments. Winding through the foothills of the Mijas mountains,
the fairways have spectacular views over the sea.
Almenara
- Par 72 6,794 yards
Designed by Dave Thomas and widely recognised as his best work to date,
Almenara opened in April 1998 and is already rated among the top ten
golf courses in Europe. Situated close to Valderramma, to which it has
been favourably compared, the course is undulating with spectacular
views over the sea and the Sotogrande estate. Water hazards feature
prominently in the back nine
Parador
- Par 72 6,717 yards
The oldest established course on the Costa del Sol. Parador is also
one of the easiest courses to walk, as the terrain is completely flat.
In 1999 it was host to the Turespana tournament. The front nine is mainly
parkland while on the back nine you find yourself playing by the sea
on a links course. A very enjoyable and challenging course to play.
Lauro
Golf - Par 71 6568 yards
A Falco Nerdi designed course which has taken account of the beautiful
surrounding countryside. With nine lakes and an abundance of olive trees
lining the fairways, this course has just the right degree of dificulty
to make it an enjoyable round for most levels of golfer. A wonderfully
friendly club, with a beautiful converted farmhouse for a clubhouse.
Lauro is good value golf.
La
Quinta - Par 72 6377 yards
Sited majestically in a prime location, overlooking Marbella's 'Golf
Valley', the course is well protected and calls for decisive play and
accuracy. There is a total of 27 holes which can be played in different
combinations of nine hole loops. La Quinta is challenging course which
is best suited to experienced golfers.
Mijas
Golf International
Probably the most popular golf complex on the Costa del Sol, Mijas Golf
International consists of 2 great 18 hole courses.
Los Lagos - Par 72 7161 yards
The longer and more open of the two courses. Like all Robert Trent Jones
courses it packs a sting in its tail, and accuracy is required to avoid
the many massive bunkers and water hazards that abound.
Los Olivos - Par 72 6490 yards
Shorter and tighter than its sister course, Los Olivos takes its name
from the olive trees which line the fairways.
La
Cala South - Par 71 6315 yards
Inaugurated in 1991, La Cala South features target style golf over spectacular
undulating terrain. Like its sister course the North, it is a great
favourite with our clients, requiring accuracy off the tees as well
as good shot making to elevated greens
La
Cala North - Par 73 6527 yards
Designed by Cabell B. Robinson, this spectacularly scenic course with
breathtaking views over the South Course and as far as Mijas, is a challenging
one to all level of players. It requiries good shot making to elevated
greens and rewards accuracy rather than power off the tees.
Alhaurin - Par 73 6843 yards
The wild growing rough is the main danger here, while the strategically placed bunkers and water hazards are reminiscent of American-style courses. With majestic views of mountains to the north and of Africa and the Mediterranean to the south, this is a fine course in a lovely natural setting. The fairways are long and narrow which means you will need to hit an accurate drive if you don't want to end up in the water hazards or the numerous bunkers and bushes. Having said that, the level of difficulty of the course can be adapted to all levels because of the versatile nature of the tees which offer up to 6 tee-off positions. The fourth, a par 4, has 2 bunkers on the right and 3 trees in the middle of the fairway. While it has a magnificent setting with spectacular views, the course demands accuracy.
Golf
Club Marbella - Par 71 6,450 yards

every level of golfer Š the first four holes are among the toughest
on the Costa del Sol.

Old - Par 72 6,833 yards

a parklands setting which has received a lot of renovation work over
the past few years and as a result, is a highly enjoyable course to
play.
El
Paraiso - Par 72 6365 yards
Following major course renovation in 1999 this course is now in excellent
condition. Designed by Gary Player in 1974 it has always been a popular
choice, with its picturesque setting. gently rolling terrain and strategically
placed lakes and streams.

Clara - Par 71 6,115 yards
A superb addition to the Costa del SolÕs courses, Santa Clara has been
a huge favourite with our clients since its opening in Summer 2001.

and the condition is always immaculate. The service in the club house
is first class and a shared golf cart is included in the green fee rate.
Cabopino
- Par 71 5,687 yards
A great favourite with our clients since its opening in April 2001,
Cabopino is an interesting and varied layout which on many of the holes
rewards accuracy rather than length. Very scenic with some spectacular
sea views and great value for money - a shared buggy is included in
the green fee.
Los
Flamingos - Par 72 6579 yards
Located close to Puerto Banus and enjoying spectacular views over the
Mediterranean on undulating terrain, Los Flamingos is one of the newer
courses on the coast. Water hazards abound on this first class course.

Cup, Valderrama is exclusive and expensive, but a limited number of
