A Short Appraisal of Some Fine Costa del Sol Golf CoursesThe Costa del Sol Golf Courses are world reknowned, so much so that the area has been re-named The Costa del Golf by many people.Valderama, Sotogrande, San Roque and Duquesa to name but a few.The quailty greens and perfect climate make it a year round golfers paradise. In the late eighties the Costa del Sol enjoyed a renaissance as a winter golf haven and the phrase Costa del Golf was coined.From 1985-1991 no fewer than 17 new golf courses were developed which bought the total in a fifty mile stretch of the coast to 30. This combination of excellent golf courses along with the unique warm and sunny winter climate has resulted in it becoming an unrivalled winter golf destination for northern Europeans who do not like to be deprived of the opportunity to play golf during the inhospitable and harsh winter months of their own countries.
As a result of Valderrama being chosen as the host course for the Ryder Cup in 1997 the Costa del Sol (Golf) received worldwide acclaim as the finest winter golf resort in Europe and advance reservations for the millenium led to a flurry of new costa del sol golf courses being developed. This development of Costa del sol Golf Courses still goes on a pace which at the moment means that every year there is a new course for you to try. For a snowbound, frustrated golfer, desperate to play golf in the sunshine, the Costa del Golf is irresistible. Golf course owners are re-investing in their courses to improve their quality still further and there are no longer any weak links, each course offering its own kind of challenge on perfect fairways and greens. The general infrastructure from Malaga to Gibraltar has improved beyond recognition thus making the Costa del Sol one of the most important golfing destinations in Europe and the Costa del Sol Golf Courses are unrivalled in their quality and variety. As a destination for a golfing holiday it is hard to beat. Some of the Costa del Sol Golf Courses within easy reach of our Properties.

Sotogrande. km 138, next to Valderrama, Spain Buggy hire • Clubs hire • Golf School • Restaurant • Bar with terrace.
La Cañada Golf Course. La Cañada is a fitting tribute to the people of Guadiaro who became golf addicts overnight with the emergence of Sotogrande. The full length Trent Jones course is located in the hills adjacent to Valderrama. The long first hole sets the tone for a tough round of golf and the 4th is a trek into the unknown with no view of the green until the third shot.

Coto de la Serena Golf Course Japanese style gardens in the Coto de la Serena create a tranquil atmosphere on this, one of the loveliest of the Costa del Sol Golf Courses,just right for a perfect round of relaxing golf. Pedro Moran designed the course which is to be found between San Pedro del Alcantara and Estepona. Bisected by a meandering stream, the course demands accuracy off the tees, especially on the par 3's which wind through lush vegetation.

La Duquesa Golf Course La Duquesa Golf Course is a typical Trent Jones layout demanding concentration and straight driving. Winding around El Hacho beacon hill overlooking the Mediterranean to Africa, La Duquesa in terms of facilities, is probably the most complete club on the coast, with tennis, squash, gym, sauna, jacuzzi, bowls, yacht harbour and of course, golf. At the spectacular 17th, just 129 metres tee to green but 30 metres straight down, you should beware of the wind especially if the poniente is blowing from the west. The views may play havoc with your scoring. 18 holes • Par 70Urb. El Hacho km 150, Manilva, some 10 kms from EsteponaBuggy hire • Clubs hire • Hand cart rental • Restaurant • Bar.
Valderrama Golf Course.Some More Costa del Sol Golf Courses. Estepona, A great Costa del sol Golf Course. A popular, family-run course with a challenging layout, particularly when windy right in the heart of the Costa del Sol. In contrast with larger, more manicured courses, the natural appearance is maintained with wild flora and fauna still much in evidence just off the fairways. The signature hole is the third, a very long par 5 known as "The Ski Slope", though the difficulties lie more in club selection when assessing ground relief. Greens are of good quality, well-designed and interesting to play. Since it opened in 1989, Estepona has invested to improve course drainage as the high clay content of the terrain is noticeable on rainy days. 18 holes • Par 70Estepona km 150Golf Buggy hire • Golf Clubs hire • Hand cart rental • Restaurant • Bar. El Paraiso Golf Course. Good holiday course in a valley surrounded by hills and an abundance of vegetation. The fast greens and palm-tree lined fairways were designed by Gary Player as long ago as 1974. Member's club where visitors are welcomed. 18 holes • Par 72Los Caracolillos, Alhaurin de la TorreCaddy (Prior request) • Buggy hire • Clubs hire • Hand cart rental. San Roque Golf Course. San Roque course, right on the western end of the Costa del Sol, represents an exacting challenge for golfers of all ability, right up to the tricky 18th. The 8th hole is often the cause of many lost shots while the 18th requires a precise finish with a drive to the right to avoid water on the left then a long iron shot over a stream to the green, avoiding a lake on the right. Advance booking is advised. 18 holes • Par 70San Roque, km 126 near GibraltarGolf Buggy hire • Golf Clubs hire • Hand cart rental • Restaurant • Bar. La Quinta G & CC. La Quinta is a Costa del Sol golf course that demands stamina and accuracy from its elevated tees. The Golf School is on hand for those wishing to improve. A challenging course at the top of Marbella's golf valley inaugurated in 1989. Three nine-hole loops, played in different combinations, wind through a large real estate development. A technical course that reflects the designer Manuel Piñero's own playing characteristics in that it rewards accuracy rather than long hitting. A variety of hazards come into play from elevated tees with trees, water, sand and streams to negotiate before approaching a good proportion of raised greens. Not too difficult to walk. Home to the former World Champion Manuel Piñero's Golf School and the Westin La Quinta 5-star hotel. 18 holes • Par 72Accessible from Puerto Banus or the San Pedro/ Ronda road.Golf Buggy hire • Golf Clubs hire • Hand cart rental • Restaurant • Bar Valderrama,an exceptional Costa del sol Golf Course. Home to the Volvo Masters (1988-96), the Ryder Cup (1997) and the World Golf Championships (1999-2000), Valderrama surpasses its reputation as number 1 in Europe. Designed by Robert Trent Jones and lovingly attended by owner Jaime Ortiz Patiño, this is one of the continent´s toughest challenges. The 4th hole a par 5 of spectacular beauty ends on a raised green, next to a cascade of water on its way to the greenside lake. The famous par five 17th features a green with bunkers behind and slopes forwards to an emerald lake is the favourite of spectators and the hatred of championship players. 18 holes • Par 70Sotogrande, at km 138 (N340) inland sideGolf Buggy hire • Golf Clubs hire • Hand cart rental • Restaurant • B
Not strictly speaking one of the Costa del sol Golf Courses, being located as it is in the mountains behind Mijas it is none the less definitely worth the trip. It is in a magnificent setting with spectacular views, and it is a challenging course demanding accuracy - or a bag of balls! The management have made significant investments in recent years to make the original 1993 Seve Ballesteros-design friendlier to all standards of golfer. The resort also has a terrific children's par 3 course adjacent to the new clubhouse. Situated in Alhaurín El Grande, half-way between Mijas and Coín. 18 holes • Par 70Situated in Alhaurin El Grande, half-way between Mijas and CoinGolf Buggy hire • Golf Clubs hire • Hand cart rental • Restaurant • Bar. |
