Flamingos Golf
Flamingos Golf is a 5,714-metre par 71 course that was designed by Antonio Garcia Garrido. It boasts a pristine landscape with lots of vegetation, lovely views to the Mediterranean Sea and bunkers filled with crushed white marble. It has a generous size and the fairways are narrower on the first nine holes of the course, where more precision is required than on the back nine.
Michael Campbell Golf Academy
Alferini Golf is a 6,641-metre Flamingos Golf par 73 course designed by Cristobal Guerrero and ideal for large competitions and tournaments as well as to enjoy a pleasant and relaxing day. The third Villa Padierna Golf Resort course, Tramores Golf, measures 3,486 metres and has a par of 65. It is home to the Michael Campbell Golf Academy and is a fast and very technical course yet is also very entertaining. The long fairways surrounded by mountains make this course a beautiful challenge.
All three courses have hosted prestigious tournaments, such as the European Seniors Tour Final in 2002, 2003 and 2004 and the Spanish Women’s Open in 2010 on the Flamingos Golf, or for the qualifying competitions for the Open de AndalucĂa Costa del Sol 2012, which took place at Alferini Golf course.
