golf courses

Cabopino, East Marbella http://www.cabopinogolf.com Inaugurated in April 2001. 18 holes with a par of 71 laid out by Spanish architect Juan Ligues is short but very tight in places. Very scenic course with views to mountains and seas. Buggies obligatory but included in the price of green fee.
La Cala North, Mijas Costa The North course begins with what must be the highest raised tee in existence and finishes with a 'ski slope', dogleg par 5 to a narrow green. In between there are some classic holes that will punish the unwary but are never unfair. The optical illusions created by the general relief of the course call for careful club selection before every shot presenting a challenge any good golfer will relish.
La Cala South, Mijas Costa The South Course opened in 1990 and happily avoids the massive developments; its undulating, spectacular terrain provides various degrees of difficulty. The 10th is considered La Cala's toughest par 5 at the par 3 11th hole the tee shot must cross a ravine and the second shot must clear water.
Mijas golf, Fuengirola http://www.mijasgolf.org Mijas Golf boasts two terrific designs laid out by Robert Trent Jones.Los Lagos, the original course built in the mid-1970s, is a flat, long championship course with waterhazards and large greens. Enjoyable for long hitters but also accommodating to those with a slice. Wide fairways with little rough means Mijas has become the most successful commercial course on the Costa del Golf.
Miraflores, Mijas Costa Miraflores is both beautiful and challenging, especially for those who enjoy their golf with elevated greens and water. It is one of the Costa del Sol's top leisure and resort developments. Located in the hills above Mijas Costa it offers breathtaking views of the countryside down to the sea. The course has a number of elevated greens which require some tough walking.
Rio Real, Marbella Designed by Spain's top architect Javier Arana, Rio Real Golf Course opened in 1965. It follows a gradual incline towards the sea but is otherwise flat. Golf here is a very pleasant experience, offering wonderful views, well established trees and much appreciated shade while the river intersects the course at various points. The dogleg 10th hole is a pretty par 4 leading to a spectacular 11th tee overlooking a green whose access lies across a ravine.
Santa Maria, Marbella The Santa Maria Golf Course traces the contours of a valley and offers distracting views over the Mediterranean. Designed by Antonio Garcia Garrido, who made the par 3 6th hole especially challenging. It is located on the highest point of the course, before you need to tackle a formidable tee shot down towards the guarded green some 180 metres away.
Torrequebrada, Benalmadena Since it first opened in 1976 this Pepe Gancedo masterpiece has been recognised as one of the most beautiful courses on the Costa del Golf. Venue for the Spanish Open 1977.Here, the tee shot is of prime importance. A wild drive and all may be lost as trees, woods, rough, bunkers and water are all very much to the fore.
