This prime property is owned by Marbella City Council. Originally developed 25 years ago, it was the first and best golf course in Marbella. However, when we took it over, the property had seriously deteriorated. Most of it was abandoned and served as a local dumping ground; several buildings had been occupied by squatters, others were dilapidated. In short, the whole property was in a terrible state of neglect.
Our goal is to make this place great again!
FUTURE PLANS:
Our main focus will always be golf, although further important investments planned are:
● Install TrackMan on the range
● State of the art Adventure Golf, aimed at families and initiating youngsters into golf.
● A new Chip and Putt Area.
● A new Bunker Area.
● More targets on the range.
