Well...
Reviewed March 18, 2024
Condition of care average at best. The first seven lanes are more of an adventure playground. Lots of slopes and bone-hard fairways. In terms of design, the final stretches are quite interesting and overall very inexpensive, but we won't be coming back. Then it's better to spend a little more money and play one of the many beautiful courses in the area.

Upward trend unmistakable

The topography is a challenge!
Blind tees, hanging fairways, clear differences in height.
If you are not really fit you should definitely use a buggy.
After finally finding a strong investor in 2020, the greenkeeper team has good equipment and has now achieved great things.
Despite the mega summer, the greens are in very good condition, hard & fast, but mostly fair.
The pro shop is very well equipped and offers everything a golfer's heart desires.
Last but not least: the restaurant with a large outdoor terrace and hall-like interior offers excellent Spanish cuisine at affordable prices.
Relaxed atmosphere! A lunch break between the front nine and back nine is also no problem.
I look forward to the further development of this old Golf & Country Club

The club requires cash payment on site, although you have already paid online beforehand.
In order not to have any stress on site, I paid cash again and wanted to clarify that afterwards.
I was asked to hand in the deposit receipt, but I had to give it to the caddy master, so I didn't get any money back.

Too bad.

So, the place is unfortunately rocked.
That's why the green fee is probably very cheap. 33€ per person with golf club The aforementioned ball washers no longer exist. Signs on - which hole you are - not either. The path guidance is partly so faded that one can no longer recognize it. Short:
Discounts: 3 stars
Fairways: 2 stars
Greens: 4 stars
Ways: 2 stars
Overall impression: 2 stars
It's a shame because the place really has potential.

Actually fantastic
Reviewed March 7, 2020
Since we had no club in hand for a long time, we looked for a cheap green fee for our golf holiday - and found it in Duquesa. We asked ourselves why we would only have to pay € 94 for two, including a buggy for 18 smiles. The answer: earlier glory days are long gone! The club is bobbing against the backdrop of a former 5 star hotel.
But from the very beginning: When we arrived we noticed that there are buggies, but they are already old. At the counter of the clubhouse there was a welcome drink (sparkling wine and water) and snacks, which we found very pleasant. We were served very friendly and quickly, a buggy was ready after a short time. Then we went to the course...
Basically, all teeing areas were in good condition, only the ball washers were unusable, because totally dirty and covered with bird droppings, the trash cans old, about OK. The fairways were mostly okay, but some were uncut, a lot of weeds, sometimes there were hoses on the sides, but everything was playable. The greens were in very good condition.
The course itself is wonderfully laid out, well playable and with some challenges, which we really liked. But there is still a lot to be done in terms of ambience and maintenance. The problem: there is simply a lack of money, the competitive pressure is more than high. According to the staff, a greenkeeper does not come until the afternoon, who does the most urgent things on the course and gradually works on beautifying the course. There is nothing more in it, patience is required. We wish the employees better times, which the system absolutely deserves.
Our recommendation: Just turn a blind eye in some places and then enjoy the magnificent view in many places and have fun with the layout of the course. WE WILL BE BACK!

It's finally going up!
Reviewed February 24, 2020
After playing La Duquesa several times in February 2018, we returned this year and were pleasantly surprised.
An investor has obviously found one, because extensive renovations have finally been started at the clubhouse, additional greenkeepers have been hired and new equipment has been procured.
Hopefully now it's only a matter of time before the square shines in its old glory.
Most greens are ok at the moment, the tees are fine, the fairways are sometimes horrible.
The layout is interesting to challenging. Strong inclines, stressful slopes. Precise play is required here, otherwise the ball will mercilessly roll into the abundant rough.
Kudos to the restaurant: Platos de Dia for € 5 with an enormous selection, delicious and quick to prepare.
Now we are waiting for new range balls and there is another point.

The whole area is in a miserable condition.

How can you make everything so degenerate? Much too expensive for visitors

Good greens, very interesting layout, otherwise bad
Reviewed February 25, 2019
How to let this beautifully landscaped place so come down is incomprehensible. We have the place on a Sunday for 25 € p. P. (Buggy + 32 €) played to get to know him and to understand why the reviews are so bad. We agreed shortly after the start because of the space condition, in particular the fairways, on fundamentally bettering. Then you can play the round well and enjoy the partially great fairways reasonably.

Just to the point...
Reviewed June 25, 2017
Before: we only paid 30 € for the green fee... so you can certainly not expect a Leading Course... supposedly a change of ownership and the place is currently "generously" renovated. Of this, however, neither is to be seen, nor noticed. The greens are indeed top but the rest is really bordering... the cart paths are an impertinence and green fairways one searches in vain... Conclusion: to the not yes, because also cheap but real pleasure comes not on...

Ok price performance
Reviewed March 31, 2015
You should let the assessments carried away. Sure, the fairways are partly bad, you should always play with better place. For the greens are absolutely fine, loyal and fast. The place is indeed surrounded by apartment buildings (especially the first nine), but each hole is really good and demands (especially white) to a top golf to score right here. You can tell that this was a good architect at work. We have over 'Golfinspain. com 'paid for the Twilight green fee € 22 and for that we had quite a lot of fun and the place to ourselves. Who wants to have it better, have to stop to pay more. Played on 30/03/2015.

Disaster!

The worst place in the area. Nothing is maintained and apparently saved on staff. Condition really bad!
Here every € green fee is a pity. Can be easily removed from the golf landscape.

Disaster
Reviewed February 28, 2014
We played the course on 02.26.2014 with 5 people (Handicap 5-11). After nine holes, we have canceled the round! The place is in a very unkempt state. It just is not fun to play. Luckily we had pre-booked green fees on the Internet, the full price would have been a joke. The previous worst place I've played on the Costa del Sol :-(

Poorly-kept golf field
Reviewed September 10, 2013
We played in September 2013. The course was in very poor condition, many bald spots in the fairway and on the greens. Narrow fairways make the game, you should have a lot of balls here. The carts were not allowed to be driven on the fairways, so Electro Trolleys are recommended. We do not play the course again.

Resort place with little charms
Reviewed October 22, 2011
Played on 2.10.2011. The complex is located in a golf resort. Especially in the first nine extinguishers to play very often just past the apartment complexes. Warped balls can easily end up in the front yard or an apartment balcony. There are also a lot of rough terrain / biotopes. One should take enough balls on the round. The back nine is a little more pleasing and more open. Here you have a little more peace of mind, as opposed to the first nine are few roads in the area. The condition was OK, but not particularly noteworthy. Afternoon a very affordable green fee of 80, - € will be charged for two people including buggy, then what makes you forget the little disadvantages. Moreover, it is not as full afternoon. We were there at 14.00 clock and were able to start playing immediately and privacy are two of hole 17 is also to run on anyone. For high HC space is not really recommendable. Default 28 for men is appropriate, but is not queried. A buggy is recommended because some height differences are overcome. The Secretariat is more businesslike. After the game we wanted to eat something about 17.00 clock. But there were only offered snacks. Since we have left then.
