El Soto Golf Club

Secret hidden acc

4.0 of 5 starsReviewed December 2, 2021

It is a par 27 short course, which is mainly played by the owners of the surrounding holiday apartments, who become compulsory members when they buy, it is available to guest players for 20 euros daily greenfed (!) But also without registration.
There is one course in Belamadena that claims to be the best pitch and put course in the region. I doubt that from my own point of view after playing both of them. The El Soto played today is in La Mairena, also called Elviria alta, at about 350m above sea level above Elviria near Marbella. The approach from Elviria is very well signposted. However, the place itself has no internet presence, registration is never required. This is surprising because it is a quality 9 hole par 27 course in very good condition. On the way there are about 60 meters of altitude to be overcome, quite a small mountain goat course. The holes are between 45 and 108 m long from the yellow (a total of 660m to play, about 1000m to walk) and quite sometimes demanding, elevated greens, water and a hole 8 that can only be played high above 2 trees by yellow. A good test and a varied, small but real golf course.
