Las Brisas elected in Top 50 Platinum Clubs of Europe The election of the Platinum Clubs of Europe for the first time in 2020-21 recognizes some of the most historic Clubs in the World located in Europe. Some lesser-known Clubs have also been extended a Platinum designation by the Platinum Clubs of the World international Panel of industry experts, historians and connoisseurs. The Panel recognizes Excellence in Club operations, management and governance and acknowledge these Platinum Clubs for their commitment to the Seven Selection Criteria.

Universal Recognition Tradition, history and heritage are the foundation of the most prestigious Clubs around the world. Newer Clubs may be universally recognized by global travellers and society alike as demonstrating the highest standards in their operating procedures, membership and pre-eminence. All Clubs shall embrace tradition, newly forged or formulated over time, and have an international allure that makes them stand apart from all others in their respective areas of the world.

A Respected Membership The foundation of the most revered Private Clubs are the Members, their character and integrity, and the admission procedures of the institution. Members take pride and responsibility in their Club and its distinctive culture. Members embrace camaraderie within the Club and form lasting business and social relationships with one another. They

are expected to demonstrate a commitment to the traditions of the Club, consider the next generation, and attract prospective new Members who share these ideals.

Excellence in Amenities and Facilities Great Clubs display an element of distinction and offer their Members outstanding facilities and amenities. They endeavour to provide the finest Member experience while keeping pace with deferred maintenance and capital upgrades. New amenities are developed to satisfy today’s Members and attract future Members.

Exceptional Service Standards The world’s finest Clubs recognize staff as their most valuable asset. Employees must be dedicated and committed to delivering unparalleled service that exceeds member and guest expectations. Staff development is critical, and training is ongoing. Success results when mutual respect between Club Members and the Employees is fostered.

Adapting to Changing Times Excellent Clubs strive to anticipate their membership’s changing needs, interests and evolution. These Clubs have a strategic plan for change; they adopt a mission statement that clearly addresses who they are and where they wish to be through the ages. They maintain the sanctity of their history and culture and remain flexible enough to evolve with the changing times.

Management and Operations Every great organization requires clear and decisive leadership. Clubs are managed in a manner that stimulates a distinctive Private Club culture. Club Management implements the policies, procedures and operational strategies as directed and approved by the Club’s Leadership. Golf and Country Clubs respect the governing bodies of the game and encourage growth through its supervision of programs.

The Overall Experience The Experience, from anticipation of the visit to arrival and departure, is a critical element when evaluating a Club considered for Platinum status. Some of the elements of the overall experience are tangible, yet others are intangible. Clubs that provide lasting memories and create a keen desire to return are usually those that deliver the ultimate Private Club experience.

Las Brisas underwent a large renovation by Kyle Phillips in 2015. Through the remodeling of the course, this delightful walking venue has been redesigned to respect and improve on the best aspects of the original design, as well as modified to create a new course which will not only continue to bring pleasure to the members, but once again challenge the professional player.

The Almenara Hotel, Sotogrande currently under renovation Expected to officially debut in 2021, the luxury hotel will present an exhilarating combination of social spaces, exclusive experiences and distinctive “Just Say SO” services that celebrate Mediterranean culture.

Accor’s luxury, lifestyle brand SO/ Hotels & Resorts, together with Sotogrande SA, the renowned developer and creator of the namesake destination, have signed a management agreement to open the first SO/ property in Spain. SO/ Sotogrande Resort & Spa will reflect the brand’s rebellious luxury in this idyllic setting within the Costa del Sol, blending exclusivity with the brand’s commitment to dynamic gastronomy and upbeat vibrant well-being. Upon completion of an extensive renovation and repositioning program of the historical Almenara Hotel, SO/ Sotogrande is expected to open in Spring 2021.

Sotogrande is a prestigious destination located on the southern tip of Spain that is known for its residential sports and leisure offerings. Nestled on the Mediterranean coast between Marbella and Gibraltar, SO/ Sotogrande will be the perfect starting point for visitors to explore Andalusia. Guests will

have the opportunity to enjoy Tarifa and its “boho” spirit, stroll through the wine region of Jerez, or enjoy authentic and picturesque villages like Ronda and its rich Moorish history.

“We are thrilled that Accor has placed its trust in Sotogrande as a destination. The opening of The SO/ Sotogrande Resort & Spa, will mark an exciting new phase in our consistent efforts to present all the attributes expected of a high-end destination like ours,” said Marc Topiol, Chairman of Sotogrande SA. SO/ Sotogrande will bring a fascinating blend of social spaces, sophisticated experiences and distinctive “Just Say SO” services that celebrate Mediterranean culture. Overlooking all of Sotogrande, the new luxury hotel will feature 151 stylish rooms with 24 suites, setting new standards for true luxury hospitality within the destination.

SO/ Sotogrande will also feature extensive landscaped gardens with breathtaking views of the sea, Gibraltar and the Andalusian

countryside, and will enjoy an enviable location in close proximity to some of the most exceptional golf and polo fields in Europe. This authentic oasis will capture the essence of Sotogrande’s originality.

Sotogrande is located conveniently near the international airports of Malaga, Gibraltar and Jerez, and is a half an hour away from Marbella and Puerto Banús.

Sotogrande is set apart from other elite destinations in Europe by the breadth and variety of its world-class sports and leisure offering. Three of Europe’s best golf courses (Real Club Valderrama, La Reserva Club, Real Club de Golf Sotogrande) can be found within a four kilometers radius.

Moreover, an expanded equine infrastructure, including three polo clubs, is a celebration of the Andalucían equestrian culture, while the Mediterranean shore provides the perfect setting for watersports.

What’s in the box?

Golf in the 21st century is now all about golf gadgets and technology that can help to improve our golf game, lower our handicap, gives us a better swing, record our statistics, navigate our round, connect us to other golfers, entertain us, educate us and generally inundate us with input!

Whether it’s rangefinders for measuring your distances, GPS watches that navigate thousands of golf courses, game analyzers that record your shot data and give you post round statistics, launch monitors that give you all your shot details on the driving range, video apps that analyze every angle of your golf swing or any one of a plethora of training aids are designed you help you get it right every time, there is more technology available today than you can literally shake a stick at!

Not surprisingly then we all need somewhere to turn (no pun intended) to help navigate our way through it all. This is where Black Box Golf comes in. Inspired by the crazy idea that a golfer can never get enough golf (who ever came up with that idea?), Matt Doughty, founder of Black Box Golf, decided that what Spain really needed was more golf but this time in the form of golf simulators.

Golf simulators use the same technology that most of you will have seen tracing golf shots on TV, often displaying data like ball speed, apex and carry etc. Using launch monitors or sensors, the ball is tracked from the moment it leaves the club face, recording and analyzing data such as launch angle, back spin, side spin and ball speed giving the golfer plenty of

useful feedback and information about their shot. The big difference in a simulator is that all that data is turned into a visualization of the golf shot and displayed on a large projector screen just a few feet away.

Golf simulators, like the Golfzon simulator Black Box Golf have installed at Aloha Golf Club in Marbella, allow the golfer to hit shots with every club in the bag and see all the data they could possibly need in one place. They can use the virtual driving range to practice, train and analyze their swing as well as play one of over 180 golf courses worldwide making every drive, approach and putt as they would do in real life.

“Golfzon is the world’s best selling golf simulator. They have over 30,000 simulators across the globe. We represent them here in Spain as well as a number of other great golf technology brands. I am not looking to discourage golfers playing the fantastic golf courses Spain has to offer, but rather help to further enhance that experience by bringing it indoors as well.”, says Matt.

Of course, golf simulators are not cheap items. Not everyone can afford one. The kind of golf simulators Black Box Golf are selling are reserved for the wealthy golf enthusiast who,

at the very least, has enough space to install one! That said, Matt explains that he hopes people won’t be put off.

“Golf simulators do cost in the thousands, but eventually we hope to have products that will suit almost every budget. There’s no question technology is now part of the golf game and there are plenty of different ways to introduce it.” he says.

So what’s in the box? Well at Aloha Golf Club, Matt Doughty is in the ‘box’, ready to show you what golf simulators are all about. Why not e-mail him matt@blackboxgolf.es and go take a swing at it?

ALCAIDESA LINKS GOLF RESORT Alcaidesa Links Golf Resort is celebrating this year its 25th Anniversary - a club that opened its first golf course in 1992 with its Alcaidesa Links - and one of the first links golf courses in the south of Europe.

Alcaidesa Links Golf Resort is located in an incomparable setting, surrounded by the outstanding golf courses of Sotogrande and Valderrama, and close to emblematic boroughs like San Roque, La Linea and Gibraltar. Our mark of distinction is Alcaidesa Links, which is characterised by being the only links-style golf course in southern Europe and in 2011 considered by the magazine Golf World to be one of the 20 best links courses on the European continent. Many tournaments have been played at Alcaidesa Links, such as 2 PGA of Andalusia, in 1993 and 1994, 1 PGA of Spain in 1995, and The Ryder Cup Junior Match U.S. against Europe in 1997.

THE SAN ROQUE CLUB Formerly the summer residence of the Domecq sherry family, The San Roque Club sits on an enviable backdrop surrounded by lush hills & historic Cork Oak woods. Host of the 1997 Ryder Cup Gala Dinner, it was used as a base for both teams.

Venue for the Spanish Open 2005 and 2006 as well as the European Tour Qualifying School Finals from 1993 to 2007, The San Roque Club holds a place in the heart of many a Tour professional.

Opened in 1991, and designed by the legendary Dave Thomas, the Old Course is rarely outside the top 5 courses in Spain. The first 9 holes wind through Cork Oaks whilst the back 9 are dominated by water hazards.

The 18th hole can either make or break your game, adding a spectacular finish to some of the most beautiful 18 holes you will ever play.

Designed by Perry Dye and Seve Ballesteros, the New Course opened in 2003. Since then it has blossomed into a mature and well respected course which can hold court with the best in the area. Celebrating its first European Tour tournament after only 3 years - the Spanish Open 2006 - the course

It is a challenge for low handicap golfers, but with five different tee positions and fairways that are wider than those on The Old Course, it is also possible for higher handicap players to enjoy. Nevertheless, the course is designed to reward canny tactics & skilful drive placement. Water hazards guard 4 of the greens, also defended by more than 100 bunkers.

The San Roque Club is almost unmatched for scenery & elegance. Membership is about exclusivity and the sense of belonging to a family of privileged golfers benefitting from the unique experience the club has to offer.

REAL CLUB VALDERRAMA Real Club Valderrama is located in Sotogrande, Andalucia, the largest and southern-most region of Spain. A few miles north of Gibraltar, it is approximately one hour’s drive from Malaga International Airport.Valderrama is a private Members’ club with a limited number of starting times offered for visitors. The climate is ideal for year-round golf.

Valderrama has been consistently ranked as number 1 in Continental Europe since the late 80’s and has been included in the Top 100 in the World since 1999. The Par 71 Championship Course measures 6356 meters from the professional tees. The fairways have been described by top pros and leading golf writers as the best in Europe, if not the world.

It is not an easy course - nor was it intended to be. It is designed so as to call forth thought and precision for every shot.

The course was designed in 1974 by Robert Trent Jones, Sr, one of the great golf course architects, and was originally known as Las Aves (Sotogrande New). In 1984, Mr. Jaime Ortiz-Patiño, acquired the golf course and committed to bringing the course to an extraordinary level, never seen before in Europe. Robert Trent Jones willingly agreed to come back and redesign his original layout

hosted the 32nd Ryder Cup, won by Europe in a most thrilling finish. Valderrama remains today the only club ever to have hosted golf’s pinnacle event outside its traditional homelands, USA and Britain.

The tone for the Ryder Cup event was set by Severiano Ballesteros, the Europe captain, when he walked the course with John Paramor, the chief tournament director.

“I found everything perfect” he said. “It’s impossible to imagine a golf course in better condition” Next, in 1999 and 2000, Valderrama went on to host the first two editions of the World Golf Championships - American Express Championship, which were won by Tiger Woods and Mike Weir respectively. Since 2010, Valderrama is home of the Andalucia Masters, one of the European Tour’s most prestigious tournaments.

of ten years earlier. Together the two men spent many hours walking around the course and discussing where and how improvements should be made.

The course was renamed Valderrama, after the ancient estate on which the land is situated. The pair shared a common aim: to create a course that would present a test of golf to the everyday golfer and the first-class player alike, and would bring out the best golf that is in him. Valderrama has since risen in the Golf World rankings to become the No.1 golf course in mainland Europe, a position proudly held since 1989.

No championship course in modern times has so swiftly achieved such recognition. As early as 1988, Valderrama began to host the newly-launched Volvo Masters, the flagship tournament of the PGA European Tour, and continued to do so until 2009. In 1997 the Club

The front nine is relatively new, opening in 2001, and was designed by Dave Thomas. The back nine is the original nine holes designed by Robert Trent Jones and opened in 1982.

The signature hole is the 18th which is played over the dramatic La Cañada gully.

You will enjoy views to the Rio Guadiaro, Mediterranean and Valderrama. The course has excellent irrigation and drainage facilities, so is always in very good condition. This is a popular course with a large membership. The variety of the holes, and dramatic views of the countryside make La Canada a delight to play.

La Canada’s final three holes are a pure joy.

The 16th travels dramatically downhill as it wends its way among a tapestry of trees until it reaches the green. The par-3 17th will doubtless cause havoc to many a player’s card. Although measuring just 135-metres this short hole provides the original “all duck or no dinner” tee shot. The 18th tee also provides a spectacle which is sure to cause a further tightening of the tummy muscles.

With long fairways, the front and back nines offer two distinctly different challenges. The first nine holes are what some refer to as ‘English-style’, with narrow fairways and high greens. The fourth hole, with its magnificent views, is particularly beautiful - but it can easily cause trouble on your scorecard.

The second nine are easier, with wide fairways, although the greens present additional difficulties, providing spectacular views over Duquesa Port, to the mountains and Gibraltar.

Toughest hole: 10th. Par 4, 405 metres. Stroke index 1 hole and rightly so. Tee off over a valley to a small fairway that runs from left to right in front of you. If you do mange to find the fairway, you have a long second to the large green with water to the right, slicers beware!

Villa Padierna

Flamingos Golf This 18-hole, 71-par course measuring 5,714 metres was designed by the Spanish architect Antonio García Garrido, known for his meticulous landscaping. It has a great variety of trees and stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. The immaculate contoured greens are generous in size but the fairways are slender on the first half of the course, where more precision is needed than on the second half.

The strategically placed bunkers contain white marble chips; most fairways are sown with Bermuda whilst the greens and tees have been sown with Penncross.

Flamingos Golf had the honour and privilege to host many prestigious golf tournaments over the years, including the 2002, 2003 and 2004 European Seniors Tour Final and the Women’s Spanish Open in 2010.

With many good golf holes to choose from, without doubt the 6th, a dogleg left par 5, must be the best hole on the course. The drive has to be accurate to avoid two well positioned bunkers, left and right, and your second shot must favour the left centre of the fairway to miss the lake that catches any wayward ball. Finally, your approach has again to be accurate, to a two tiered green, to give you any chance of that elusive birdie.

The setting is incomparable - lush fairways are punctuated by meandering streams, flanked by palm trees and an abundance of exotic fauna, including oleander, jacaranda and mimosas. Lakes provide a home for waterbirds and the golf balls of the unwary!

Without doubt El Paraiso Golf Club is a well designed course that golfers will never tire of playing and will look forward to returning for another chance to conquer!

ATALAYA GOLF Created in 1968, Atalaya Old Course was designed by Bernard von Limburger, the 1925 German Golf Champion who became his country’s finest golf course architect of the time. With wide fairways and large elevated greens, this championship course provides a challenge to golfers of all levels.

Elegant and mature with spectacular views of the magnificent La Concha mountain, it is the perfect oasis of tranquillity. Its apparently benign parkland aspect with gently sloping fairways makes it an ideal course for the average club golfer - but plentiful bunkers filled with sparkling ‘marmolina’ sand, fast greens, lush vegetation and fairways lined with

olive, pine, cactus and eucalyptus trees prove a challenge for single-figure players as well.

Atalaya New Course offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean and Gibraltar and is seen as one of the most natural courses on the coast. Created in 1990 by Paul Krings, the New Course is set further inland, but has a similar parkland feel about it - with gently undulating fairways and large, fast greens.

Atalaya also offers splendid practice facilities, including a spacious driving range, six short game areas and three putting greens.

Ronda

Approx 5 kms La Quinta Ronda Road

The sleek green fairways are cradled in the rugged Sierras of Ronda. This spectacular mountain setting where the eagle and vulture soar, provide players with a bird’s- eye- view across the Mediterranean and beyond Africa on a clear day. All this beauty is concentrated in Marbella’s famous Golf Valley and just 10 minutes from Puerto Banús, haunt of millionaires, celebrities and the yacht set.

Los Arqueros Golf, a challenging 18 hole, par 71, inaugurated in 1991, has been designed by a man who is not only one of the world’s top professional golfers, but also a native of the country, Spain’s Severiano Ballesteros. He has shared his knowledge and put his name into the creation of almost 30 golf courses throughout the world.

The design thinking behind Los Arqueros Golf was to lay out a course which closely followed the contours of the land and was in harmony with the natural setting. It is an idea, which Seve exploited to the maximum when designing the front and back nine holes, each with its own distinct personality. The result is a course which presents a challenge for the experienced golfer and is a real test of skills for beginners.

The course demands accurate play, especially on some of the tighter fairways where even big hitters may be advised to play a shorter iron or wood off the tee for greater precision.

Los Arqueros Golf is unique and its design is very different from the majority of courses on the Costa del Sol.

Los Naranjos belongs to a select group of golf courses on the Costa del Sol, designed by world famous golf arquitect Robert Trent Jones and was built at a time when suitable land was still available. They quickley caught world fame with their championship layout and design, when the World Cup, Spanish Open and other important competitions were hosted.

The 4th is one of the best Par 3’s on the coast, whilst the 9th is a challenging Par 4 dog-leg left.

The signature hole however is the famous 18th.

A long par 5, with several problems to handle - not least the lakes to be crossed - before reaching the clubhouse behind the green.

os na la ag el M arb M

Los Naranjos is a typical Robert Trent Jones design with generous fairways and strategically placed bunkers and water hazards. The greens, with Penn A4-gras, are spacious and slightly undulated. The tees are long and have four markers: red, yellow, white and black with course lengths starting from 5.131 metres and reaching 6.532 metres at its longest.

Since the opening in 1977, Los Naranjos has been the host of several mayor competitions, including the Spanish Open, and is ranked one of the best golf courses in Spain. In 2005 and again in 2008 Los Naranjos was voted “Course of the year” on the Costa del Sol.

REAL CLUB DE GOLF LAS BRISAS The Real Club of Golf Las Brisas was founded by D. Jose Banus in 1968 with the name of “Golf Club Nueva Andalucía”; He would be his first President until 1981.

For his design he chose the American Robert Trent Jones, considered already then like one of the best designers of the world of golf courses. He had just built the Sotogrande field, and later Las Brisas would also design Los Naranjos and Valderrama. The tour of this Marbella club presents multiple water obstacles: there are ten artificial lakes fed by two streams. The greens, mostly elevated, are heavily protected by bunkers. The result of the work of Robert Trent Jones, which we continue to enjoy today, was truly remarkable and original, achieving a difficult and attractive course. It was also original in the lawn used: “Bermuda” on the fairways and “Pencross Bentgrass” on greens, unusual species in Europe in the sixties; The consequence of all this is a course that requires playing a precision golf. As opinion of great golf players we can reflect the one of Paul Azinger (USA):

“Las Brisas does not have a bad hole. In fact it’s one of the best courses I’ve ever played.”

The original design, the Englishman Gerald Huggan was commissioned by D. José Banús to design the landscaping and the course’s arboretum. Gerald Huggan, a great specialist in subtropical plants, had just returned from Kenya where he had designed the Nairobi gardens. Here at Las Brisas we can enjoy his work and imagination, in a place where there are trees representing all the continents of the world: species from Africa like the Cape Chestnut and the Spiny Acacias; the Indian Laurel and the Mysore Ficus from Asia; Chorisia Speciosa from America; the Green Ash from Mexico; and the Blackwood and the Whistling Pine from Australia, together with numerous species of palms and Mediterranean trees which coexist in great harmony, turning our course into a veritable botanic garden.

especially in 1985 and 1991, our Club became the focus of some of the most prestigious national and international competitions like Their Majesties the King and Queens’ International Cup, the Spanish Open, the Nations’ Cup and the World Cup. The Spanish Open held in 1987 was won brilliantly by Nick Faldo, followed by Severiano Ballesteros, only two strokes behind, with the latter beating the course record with 64 strokes in the Pro-Am played the day before the competition.

Kyle Phillips renovated its design in 2015, through the remodelling of the course, this delightful walking venue has been redesigned to respect and improve on the best aspects of the original design, as well as modified to create a new course which will not only continue to bring pleasure to the members, but once again challenge the professional player. Upon the realization of the new practice facility improvements, Las Brisas will be able to offer its members a complete toplevel golf experience.

During the following ten years our Club was open to the public, serving the needs of tourism in the area and playing host to numerous guests, with 44,000 players visiting the course in 1975. In 1981 the Banús Group sold the course to the businessmen Herman Sauer and Juan Romero who decided to transform the Club into a private Club; to do so, they formed the company Sociedad Campogolf, S.A., which holds the Clubs assets, and 1,320 shares were issued. The Club’s facilities and the golf course were improved. In 1983 the Spanish Open was again held at the Club, leading to a resounding sporting success. The Irishman, Eamon D’Arcy, won the Open with the Spaniard, Manuel Piñero, coming second. Both he and José María Cañizares managed to equal the course record. In 1983, and after a period of consolidation as a private Club, Herman Sauer resigned from the Chair, with elections being called at which D. Antonio Fortuny was voted in as Chairman.

by Javier Arana, who was considered the most brilliant Spanish designer of all time. This is visible in the maturity of its grove which encloses the carefully tended rounds making the whole scenery a delightful garden.

The course sits on a slight incline to the sea, allowing many holes magnificent views to the Mediterranean Sea. It is not particularly tough despite the fact it crosses the river, from which the Club takes its name, on four occasions. In addition, this Boutique Hotel, innovative and

These rooms offer extraordinary views to the 11th hole of the golf course, situated only 3km away from Marbella. Rio Real Golf Hotel contains the special essence of the traditional Andalusian atmosphere, with an elegant and contemporary comfort.

La Cala

SANTANA GOLF Santana Golf is an 18 Hole golf course par 72 of approx. 6207 metres in length, set in 138 acres of picturesque parkland. The course, sympathetically laid out by the architect Cabell B. Robinson, is set in a former avocado plantation which provided a natural solution to many problems. The final result is a magnificent course with wide and well defined fairways on level terrain, hence easily walkable, where water features play an important albeit not excessive part in the overall design. Each hole has two championship tees and two tees for general play for both men and ladies - wide and well manicured putting greens surrounded by strategically placed bunkers, filled with sand

produced from crushed marble. Buggy paths are provided throughout the course, beautifully integrated between the rows of fruit trees.

In spite of its previous use, the Avocado Tree or Persea Índica - as it is known by its original name - is not the only tree present here, as many other endemic species like eucalyptus, orange and lemon trees, cactus, pines, fig trees, olive and mango trees make up the varied vegetation of this beautiful enclave, together with a varied population of indigenous birds, with amongst others the calzada eagle.

The cork oaks along the 5th hole deserve special mention, as they have been present here for more than 500 years.

The course is after the Marina Golf Apartments.

Torrequebrada Golf

GOLF TORREQUEBRADA Golf Torrequebrada in Benalmádena opened in 1976. The course was designed by José “Pepe” Gancedo, who has designed many golf courses in Spain, in the rest of Europe and in the States. It is considered one of the best courses in Europe. Golf Torrequebrada was host to the 53rd Spanish Open Championship in 1979.

A unique feature is the variety of fairway design, which makes it important to choose the right club for each shot. The more intrepid player can test his skill on every hole, whatever his handicap. It would not be correct to draw attention to any particular hole as they are all part of the combined challenge

presented by the landscape and nature itself.

The greens are notable for their size and speed. Strategically placed lakes and bunkers add to the course´s challenge and interest.

Over 100 varieties of shrubs and trees line Torrequebrada´s fairways and every hole has a backdrop of the blue Mediterranean and the mountains.

The clubhouse, with its panoramic views and privileged situation overlooking the 18th fairway, provides all the modern facilities that one comes to expect from a golf club of this category. Terraces, reception rooms for private functions, dressing rooms, bar/ restaurant, driving range and pro-shop.

ALHAURIN GOLF Alhaurin Golf is a beautiful and entertaining Seve Ballesteros designed course composed of 5 par fives, 8 par fours and 5 par threes and is surrounded by Mediterranean forestry and magnificent views over the Costa del Sol. Friendly staff, superb value for money, good quality course, complete with training area including an academy course, spacious natural grass driving range, putting green and chipping green. Continuous improvements have been made to Alhaurin Golf, making it a must for all golf and nature lovers. It is located in Alhaurin el Grande, just above Fuengirola and mid way between Malaga and Marbella.

The trees and plants within the course are

typically Mediterranean with plenty of pine trees, Spanish oaks, cypress, orange trees, palms and olives plus a wide range of aromatic plants like thyme and rosemary.

The signature hole is number six, a par five dog-leg right with the most amazing tee positions and views overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The drop in height from the tees is absolutely unique, and leaves most players with two more shots to reach the green, well protected by bunkers but not difficult to putt. This is one of those holes every golfer must play.

COSTA DEL SOL

LAURO GOLF RESORT Lauro Golf Resort can be found in the middle of beautiful pure nature in spectacular surroundings. The course consists of 27 holes that can be played in three different combinations, all par 72.

From the outset, the design and function of the course was based on respecting nature and the environment that surrounds it by not only saving and caring for the already existing trees but also by planting thousands of new trees, most of them indigenous Andalusian species.

In Lauro Golf nature is everywhere. Within the whole complex the direct contact with nature is constant. Whether you are playing golf, living in the residences or just enjoying a stroll in the surroundings you can see that we are not the only visitors at Lauro Golf.

You can often see rabbits, ducks, partridges, herons and even eagles on and around the golf course, our friendly neighbours who are enjoying the micro-climate of the golf course created by the thousands of trees and several lakes.

Lauro Golf

The course was designed by the late Folco Nardi and the idea was to create a course that was technically challenging yet not too difficult. With a good concentration and the correct selection of the clubs the player can end up with a good score in one of the 50 competitions played every year at Lauro Golf.

The extension of the course with the holes 1927 designed by Mariano Benitez follows the same lines and equally requires concentration and skills. The course is moderately flat and can be played by foot though there are two holes located on the side of the mountain and from which we can enjoy some spectacular views over the valley of Guadalhorce and the Mediterranean.

The club house is located in an old Andalusian building, Cortijo el Paredón, where you can find the restaurant, changing and locker rooms, pro shop and the Caddy Master´s Office. On our premises and the surroundings you can also find a swimming pool, a padel tennis club, lawn bowls club and an equestrian centre. In the middle of the cortijo there is a fabulous patio, with an enormous ficus tree in the middle which offers shade to the players enjoying their food and drinks after a game of golf.

Malaga Plaza Mayor

By far the oldest course on the Coast and inaugurated by the Spanish Royal Family in 1925. Now consisting of 27 holes, the original 18 holes were designed by Tom Simpson, of Muirhead and Turnberry fame.

An easy to walk course, although it is a long one, flat, a mixture of links, seawater lagoons and park land, suitable for all levels of golfers but when yet that sea wind blows offering a severe challenge to even the most experienced of golfers. Mostly open fairways, flat and quite easy to read greens, apart from the 9th, 12th and 15th. The course has been rather underrated of late but is now under new management and in recent years the greens

and conditions have been vastly improved.

Many visiting golfers like to play this course on the last day of their golfing holiday as it is only a 5 minute drive from Malaga airport.

The 9th is a tricky par-3, difficult to reach on windy days, with a subtly contoured putting surface. Once beyond the half-way hut (delicious tapas!), the par-5 12th is the most difficult on the course. The tee shot plays between encroaching trees, the second leaves no room for error and the approach is to an elevated, stepped green protected to its front by a stream.

BAVIERA GOLF Baviera Golf has been designed by José María Cañizares, the prestigious professional golfer.

Cañizares is one of our most international and charismatic golfers in whose record are 5 tournaments of the European circuit and 2 world championships as well as several participations in the Ryder Cup. Baviera Golf is an even course characterized by its wide greens with many movements and the great variety of obstacles which offer a big range of strokes and an ideal design for all types of handicap.

The variety of holes and the unsurpassable views both to the Mediterranean sea and the mountains contribute to make you enjoy and

share an unforgettable day.

If you want to get rid of some old balls then keep them for the 3rd hole, you might loose a few here. If you get a par then it might be a good idea to frame the score card for posterity. When you play the 7th hole it would be advisable to avoid the cactus garden on the left, not the kind of hazard one might find at home. For the 14th it might be better if you pack some binoculars in your bag, it’s huge, and if you are really unlucky you might get wet.
