One of the best by far. Sceanery is spectacular, fairways are ondulated, greens are well protected and manucured. Favourite hole: all of them to be honest, but number 6 will be tasting few drives...and second shots on this par five! The front nine is toping the lot to be honest, but for 50 euros with buggy and lunch, you would be mad to miss this SBallesteros course.... Be aware it is like Marmite overthere, some of my friend would rather go to the beach than play there, only because the slope is over 140....so very technical indeed. Don't be put off if high handicap...just try...it is Marmite..

Great improvements all around. Greens in good condition as most of them have been recently replaced. Friendly and helpful staff.

In first week of August we played: La Cala Europa&America, Marbella golf club, Calanova, Los Arqueros, Santa Marija, Cabopino, Alcaidesa (Hcp 13,18,22,25). Here are the reviews: La Cala Europa&America: 5, Marbella golf club 5+, Calanova: fairways 4, forgreen 3-, greens 3 (hairy) , Los Arqueros: 4,3 (good greens), Santa Marija: fairways 4, greens 3- (soft,soft, soft, hairy, nothing to compare to other courses, couldn’t putt). Even shorter course now. I was skeptic, but the stuff said we can play with buggies at 17 p.m. because we will easily come around. We had lots of traffic on the way but still make it on time. Because we finished after 9 p.m. the stuff said directly that this was the last time we did something like that…. WTF. Will not play it again but not because of this misunderstanding. A place for older or higher Hcp with nice club house), Cabopino: if La Cala is 5 I give it 4,3 like Los Arqueros (on La Cala they did really good job), Alcaidesa: If Cabopino and Los Arqueros are 4,3 it should be 4 ( a bit dry but good greens), but then Calanova and specialy Santa Marija should desert 2/3. Don’t get me wrong but La Cala and Marbella golf club were perfect, usually Los Argueros and Cabopino shuld recive 5 for such condition. I was surprised on golf courses that they war in such good condition in summer. BTW we play a lot on “costa” in all seasons. Oh, accept La Cala and Marbella they will have to work on sends some more!!!

Hmm, first review for this course…. The course is the best, greens, fairways, forgreens, the configuration with lakes, club house….. woow. We played it for the price 75€ with buggy!!! Compare this review with my review on Santa Maria and compare the price! You should play it, regardless the price. I love Alhaurin and Marbella golf&country club but this course beats them all (not as difficult as Alhaurin but more then Marbella). Lots of flies in club house. Beer cost 5€ but that is Marbella club (Los Arqueros is a bit pricy also) . What else can I say, no matter of your Hcp try it and enjoy it. p.s. I still prefer Marbela g&cc club house :))
