Characteristics

The 60 ha large course by Javier Arana radiates a rather jovial mood in country-style. Palm trees, stone pines and eucalyptus give the flat courses their shadow. All in all rather easy to play, the course definitely also has some tricky parts, which call for precise playing. You actually have to play over the Rio Real four times.

Beautiful classic

Very beautifully laid out, classic Andalusian resort parkland course through the residential area. Very good layout, hole 4 is now about 40 m shorter after the renovation work. Place in good condition, especially the greens properly fast and well maintained. Unconditional game recommendation.

Actually disappointing

After the many positive postings, we were really looking forward to this place and were more than disappointed: At the moment (hopefully only now) the place is in a miserable condition: There are major renovations taking place, the place is only PAR 68, has 6 PAR 3 holes and the layout does not match the original course at all. In addition, the condition is currently under any criticism with the exception of the greens and bunkers. Particularly annoying: No indication of the changes, not even in the legend for the holes. For example, if you approach hole 7, the board says hole 1, but the marking stone says hole 9. If you enter the tee box, you see that you are on hole 7 according to the marking - any questions??
The surrounding area has also seen better days: the pathways are in poor condition, many bare spots on the fairways, the range is in a sorry state, etc.
Here - and I agree with the outposts - the place itself could be nice because of the good layout and interesting challenges. Unfortunately, the way it presents itself now is the worst place we've played in the Marbella area in 4 weeks.

Javier Arana stop

... probably the best Spanish golf course builder, Javier Arana built this old parkland course! The four of us went to him, absolutely no problem! Great design, huge bunkers and some tricky holes!
