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!!!

I recently played Miraflores and I thought the course was in really good conditions especially the greens as most of them have been recently replaced. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were paired with another two players and we all had a great day. Highly recommended and good value for money!

Course is good, but that is it. The Caddy Master needs a lesson in manners and customer service and they need BUGGIES.

Another relatively new course in this region,very nice club house and friendly pro shop. The 1st 3 holes will prepare you for the amount of water on this course and having you checking your bag to see how many balls you have left.Not a course to play nearing the end of your stay. Needless to say very enjoyable and a very good test of golf,course is flat just loads of water that can catch you out,just when you think you are putting a good round together.

Played course under the ownership of polarris world,it is always in excellent condition but at 75 euros there are a lot better courses around. De vere hotels now own the course and the clubhouse has been finished and is very welcome addition after the portacabins used for the last couple of years. Nice course,quite open,but like most resort courses i don't think it will improve in time,surrounded by 100's of houses/apartments.

Great course that will improve in time,along with the facilities,phase 1 of the complex is finished which includes a good range of shops. Course is long,but fairways just wide enough for the slight hook or slice. Going back very soon

Another great course well worth a visit,not that old but looks established,with some nice houses and apartments surrounding the course. Already has a nice club house overlooking the 1st hole,hotel very nearly finished. Good test for all handicaps but probably for the better player,great view of the course from the 3rd tee making you think my god i've still got miles too walk. Unfortunately with the course being very popular the greens can get plagued with spike marks around the hole,but don't let this distract you from a very enjoyable experience.
