I was playing today, 23th of April here in MARSA. I find the facilities very interesting, relative to the surrounding realities! Is the only one choice to play golf between the stones! Is not in the desert, where the sand is not so important... is not on the endless fields, it is between the stones! For this reason, what they did here is GOLD!
When I discuss about the facts... the problem is that the DRIVING RANGE is a little far away to 1st tee. They have chipping facilities in 2 nets. They have 2 putting facilities - one near the first tee (and club entrance) and the other near the DRIVING RANGE.
The restaurant is good for morning, not for afternoon, when they didn't have anything except burgers.
The reservation procedure was 101 % safe, nice and secured! The people staff were extremely kind and warm...
The golf course has the Hole nr. 17 under re-building, or something... it looks very interesting when will be ready, but for me the course signature - hole nr. 6 is the most interesting!
Otherwise, the golf course is for children, not at all difficult! If you are resident here... it's definitely your option! But if you may play all over the world... MALTA could be a holiday destination, but not for golf!
Still, I enjoy a lot and I encourage them to develop this nice sport even here, in the middle of nowhere (do not forget that only MALTA & ANDORRA have golf courses, from "liliputan countries") !!!
I have a special mention for golf etiquette in the club which is more strictly than in DUBAI, for an example.
And MR. MARESCHALL was tremendous! Very warm and helpfully, and with an eagle's eye for the game's pace! I was really impressed...
Short but sweet!

I recently played this course and although at first glance thought it to be short at Par 68, it was actually quite challenging and enjoyable. The girls at Front Desk were very helpful and with a brand new stylish clubhouse, the pint afterwards on the terrace overlooking the course was just as sweet!

Everything fine and very British
Reviewed June 7, 2025
On the small rocky island of Malta, in the middle of the Marsa Sports Club (with its enormous castle-like clubhouse), lies the old golf course of the Royal Golf Club Malta, founded in 1888! In 1888, a small 9-hole course was still located in the heart of the city of Valletta. In the 1960s, the club moved to the former British military base. Naturally, it was also the former British rulers who founded the royal club in 1888. The current course is located to the right of the Marsa Sports Club's approximately 30 tennis courts.
You can drive onto the course with a rental car (left-hand traffic) and park there for €2-€5 per hour. The green fee, which you pay at the well-stocked pro shop, is reasonable considering it's Malta's only golf course!
Sergio, the super friendly employee, explains everything to you, and if no one is putting on the narrow course at the 18th green, you can tee off from the 1st. The course has not particularly long fairways and is narrow. The advantage of the neighboring fairway is that you can usually continue playing unhindered. Everything is perfectly mown and you can find every ball! The adjacent parkland fairways are framed by southern European flora (pines, palm trees, olive trees, etc.). The par 3 on the 7th, which has to be played over an old Roman wall, is my signature hole in Malta! Otherwise, the course winds along hard, dry fairways in typical Mediterranean style. During my visit, the course was in really top condition! Fast greens and short fairways made playing fun! And if you hit the tee shots, you often get a birdie chance! In short, Royal GC Malta is a 3.5-star golf course, but the flair of the course and the age of the club push Royal Malta up to 4 stars!
If you're in Malta and can play golf... rent clubs and off you go!

As much as possible
Reviewed September 17, 2023
In a geographical and demographic reality like Malta it is to be considered a true miracle, coming from the passion of those soldiers who played it on concrete greens in the 19th century!
Of course, Malta is not and can never be a golf destination, but we must give credit to the members and staff for having been able to make it pleasantly usable for the locals and for those who, like me, find themselves in Malta occasionally for the most varied reasons. and doesn't want to give up his favorite sport.
Then the WHS system fairly balances the technical shortcomings of the route and still makes it challenging, particularly for an elderly person like me.
I must therefore thank the members and the entire club structure for the pleasant golfing moments that I was able to spend with them.

2 and 1/2 stars, unspectacular
Reviewed May 14, 2022
The level course, 5,493 yards long from the rear white tees at par 68 (ladies from white par 71), impresses with its unspectacular nature. Short holes alternate with long holes, everything is flat, everything is straight. Tee boxes rather ugly, fairways are fine, bunkers are impeccable, some of the greens are very badly affected.
Good pace of play despite being busy.
Secretariat friendly, although we had to pay in advance over the phone and by credit card.
Rental racquet was a beginner's set of 10 racquets, 2 racquets were unusable. It was always enough to play.

This is hi Malta
Reviewed February 24, 2011
This is Malta! And everyone who was there knows how small it is there. Who give great effort to get on the rock towards a golf course. The place is worth a visit through out the space is embedded in the landscape. A train crosses and everything is slightly narrower and smaller than usual but by from seeing. The facility is well maintained. English absolutely everything. Necessarily draw from the hat who does not do paid ne Lokarunde. So if you play golf on holiday in Malta necessarily have to be enough space all the time and I would go back to play because it has a hole in it with a ruin. So everything is ok...

Unfortunately I can not rate the place as it was neither responded to my tee time reservation (on request Bathroom Private club form), nor to the following e-mails. The Telephone information of the club referred to the Internal Club Enquiry Form, ... !?
