Urb. El Hacho s/n N 340, Km. 145, E-29692 Sabinillas-Málaga, Spain

Characteristics

This circular built course by Robert Trent Jones stretches directly at the main street. The narrow fairways and the declinations, which are also favoured by te wind, demand concentrated playing.

RTJ Pearl on the Rise

The new hotel, featuring tastefully and modernly furnished rooms, spacious changing rooms, a large fitness area and a restaurant with a terrace, was opened at the beginning of December 2025.

Work is proceeding at full speed to revive the pitch - however, management assumes that it will take approximately 1 year until the pitch is back in an acceptable condition.

We played the hilly course on 17 12.25 with ancient, rickety rental trolleys, as the new models had not yet arrived.

With Golfamore, the green fee was a reasonable €41.00 per person, including a trolley. A yardage book was included free of charge. The staff were consistently very friendly and helpful. The practice facilities consist of a small chipping green, a driving range with a new, continuous mat, and a putting green. The impeccably maintained lawn for croquet in a square is somewhat unusual – not something you'd expect to find on a golf course.

The course itself is (still) in poor condition. We only evaluated the layout, which is timelessly beautiful and in parts spectacular. Narrow fairways – mostly with elevated greens, constant slopes, and well-placed bunkers – make the game challenging. Due to the elevation changes, we would recommend a golf cart. The fairways can hardly be called that at present. Despite several rainy days recently, the lack of water is evident. Pipes are currently being laid for drainage or an irrigation system. The tee boxes were still acceptable. The greens also looked quite worn, but played fairly quickly. Often narrow and heavily undulating, if you don't hit the right spot on the green, your ball will roll away.

The final holes are spectacular, featuring several elevated tees and sea views. It's reminiscent of Alcanada/Mallorca, but without the lighthouse. Instead, it offers views of Gibraltar and the Strait of Gibraltar.

Anyone who isn't bothered by the less-than-ideal condition of the space can currently play a design gem at a bargain price. With improved condition, the prices will certainly be adjusted.

Has potential

After days of heavy rain, we played the course. All buggies were new and even had lockable compartments for drivers and fellow players. The front nine was hilly and narrow in places, but playable as it was very wet; which meant no rolling. The back nine was nicer and open, but also quite hilly. The clubhouse and hotel are still under renovation. €142 for two people with a buggy is extremely good value for this area. Just calculate how many holes you could play in Valderama for that amount! It's always good for a normal day of golf without any major demands.

If you want to play it, do it now! (Autumn/Winter 2024/25)

I'm always looking for new places and have visited La Duquesa several times - because of its location right on the coastal road, you drive past it several times on every holiday anyway. In the past, I was always back in the car very quickly.
The main problem always seemed to be water, or rather the lack of it. This autumn, however, enough of it came down so that at the moment - November 2024 - the course is green, lush and therefore absolutely playable.
The condition is still mediocre at best and will remain so for a long time without millions of dollars in investment. The fairways are a happy mix of different types of grass and 2-3 holes still have large areas of muddy or holey patches.

There are three reasons why I am still giving it 4 stars:
- The price-performance ratio is top.
- I was welcomed in a very friendly and uncomplicated manner and, thanks to the help of the staff, was able to complete my round within 3 hours, just before sunset.
- You'll fall in love with the layout. Trent Jones Junior has created a varied and strategically interesting course in the hills outside Estepona.

So, if you are curious about new places like me and have had La Duquesa on your "maybe someday" list for a while:
Fall/winter 2024/25 might be a good time for "someday".

Addition: renovations are currently taking place at the golf hotel. It used to be a 5-star hotel, but has been in a deep sleep for years. This means that further investment is being made, so the course could get even better in the medium term. But it may also become more expensive once the hotel is finished.
