Andalucia » Parador Malaga
Strength and strategy are the keynotes to successfully negotiating the oldest course on the coast . Inaugurated by the Spanish Royal Family in 1925 it was designed by Scottish architect Tom Simpson , of Turnberry and Muirfield renown . In 1992 the Royal Club de Campo hosted the inaugural Turespaña Masters Open de Andalucía won by Vijay Singh . State owned and run in conjunction with the adjoining Parador the club is part links , with natural lagoons formed by sea water and part parkland where the holes form avenues between stands of trees which are home to flocks of colourful parakeets . Although the course is flat with wide fairways the trees make things more difficult . The 12th is a good example of lurking danger with its stand of eucalyptus to the right requiring a perfect drive to reach the green in two .
