Los Naranjos
Andalucia » Guadalmina ( South )
Guadalmina South is considered the most difficult of the club ’ s 45 holes and opened in 1959 . Designed by Javier Arana it is the Costa del Sol ’ s second oldest course and is characterised by wide fairways , free of rough , which wind between mature shade-giving trees . The raised greens are an encouragement to attack the pin . Henry Cotton named the long 6th hole ‘ Tipperary ’ - It ’ s a long way to go !. The 10th and 11th are next to the sea . At the latter savour the calm before the storm of the 12th : to the left is a river and to the right a private garden therefore a good , straight 150 metre drive is required . At the 14th a bunker waits to catch anything that falls short and from the tee tunnel vision is an advantage in order to successfully drive between two stands of tall pine .
Andalucia » Marbella Golf Resort The Marbella Club Golf Resort is a magnificent 18 hole golf course , designed by Dave Thomas located in a 1,100 acre estate which is an area of exquisite natural beauty and offers five star service in a relaxed and friendly environment .

Andalucia » Los Naranjos
Los Naranjos is run on the philosophy that ‘ golf means more than just hitting a ball ’. The Andalucian-style clubhouse bears this out , emphasising a total golfing experience and rating itself as ‘ the Costa del Sol friendly golf club ’. Long terraced tees and large undulating greens are the unmistakable hallmarks of a Robert Trent Jones design but there is a significant difference between the front nine holes which have broad fairways with gentle slopes , and the back nine which are much flatter . Maximum use has been made of orange trees , from which the course gets its name , and maintenance is a priority . Each morning a team of twenty staff prepare the course for members and guests .
