Andalucia » Río Real
Designed by Spain´s number one achitect, Javier
Arana, Río Real opened in 1965 and follows a
wide incline down towards the sea. Otherwise
the course is flat. With wonderful views, wellestablished trees that offer much appreciated shade, and the
River Real intersecting the course at various points golf here is a
very pleasant experience. Holes 4 and 5 run close to the sea and
are reached by an underpass beneath the Málaga-Cádiz coast
road. The 6th, a par three requires a particularly accurate tee shot
to avoid the hillside on the right whilst at the 8th, although it is
not especially difficult hole, one must avoid the bunkers which
protect a raised green. The dogleg 10th is a pretty par four leading
to a spectacular 11th tee which looks down to a green whose
access lies across the river which gives the course its name - Río Real.
