Los Naranjos
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. With a total length of 6,247m, the course is enhanced by carefully contoured fairways, beautiful waterfalls, lakes and strategically placed bunkers, as well as undulating and protected greens, maintained to perfection. Guests of Marbella Club Hotel & Puente tt Hotel can often have the privilege to enjoy the exclusive benefit of complimentary green fees and shuttle service to the Marbella Club Golf Course throughout their stay.
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.
La Quinta
Situated in the heart of the Costa del Golf, La Quinta Golf & Country Club is located in the golf valley of Marbella. This is an exceptionally beautiful location, located between the hills and sea. The exclusive club boasts 27-holes, restaurant, shop and hotel. Designed by three-time World Champion and Ryder Cup star Manuel Piñero, this attractive course is suitable for all levels of golfer, and offers a unique choice of 3 courses each consisting of nine holes. The hotel onsite offers good Stay & Play options as well.
Parador Málaga
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.
