Dama de Noche
La Duquesa Golf & Country Club
18 holes and entertaining fairways will allow you to enjoy rounds of golf reserved for players who enjoy the sun and Mediterranean breezes. Spectacular tees from which you can see the African continent and neighbouring Marbella.
Teeing off from the 17th hole will convince you that there are very few courses in which nature and design merge so beautifully. We had nothing to do with nature, and as for the design we were fortunate to have Robert Trent Jones, who blended these two elements in such a superb manner.

Estepona Golf
Handicap: 28 men/36 ladies
Estepona Golf is a “pay and play” course offering a magnificent natural setting and a course not without difficulties providing for an enjoyable game. Nevertheless, the fairways are wide and the greens are large, so the secret is probably not to be too ambitious. The design fits in with the natural environment of the Sierra Bermeja in the background and the sea can be seen from most holes. The fairway on the 3rd hole falls down sharply with the green despairingly out of reach but do not lose heart. The 7th hole, a par 4 with a raised tee, offers the bold the chance to reach the green, situated 250 metres away. It is a hole which falls away to the left with water on both sides of the green. Each hole represents a new challenge, as should be the case with any course.

La Cañada Golf
Handicap: 28 men/36 ladies
This is the story of a town which wanted a golf course. When they had one they asked for another and then another. Guadiaro used to send its men to the courses in Sotogrande. In this way, they became green keepers and built the golf course. There were far more golfers in Guadiaro than in any another town of its size in Spain. They cut out a mountain track and the boys practiced near the football pitch. Jaime Ortiz Patino took an interest in them, the Town Hall provided the land, Robert Trent Jones took responsibility for the design and La Cañada began to take shape. Ten years later, thanks to economic aid from the “first tee” programme and Jaime Ortiz Patino, the second nine holes course was opened, on this occasion designed by Dave Thomas. A great municipal course.

Guadalmina
Designed by Folco Nardi in 1973, this course runs almost parallel to its southern “brother”. It is shorter and hillier than the south course and has more water obstacles. The course requires straight drives down the middle of the fairways as failure to do so may have one ending up in one of the numerous water hazards hidden in the rough.
This is the oldest course of the Gualdalmina complex. It was designed by Javier Arana in 1959 and is renowned for its difficulty, thus making it more suitable for experienced players. Fairways are narrow and well protected by old trees requiring more straight shots.

Marbella Golf & Country Club
Marbella Golf & Country Club is located in the heart of the Costa del Sol, just five minutes away from the cosmopolitan city of Marbella. It is considered one of the best and most challenging golf courses in Europe.
Designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Senior in the late 80’s and occupying one of the largest remaining green areas on the Costa del Sol, the 6.000 metre long 18-hole links course with a par of 72, has been imaginatively designed to respect the natural terrain and make the most of the spectacular Mediterranean backdrop.
Each hole is uniquely challenging, although the 9th hole in particular, featuring several lakes and bunkers, is guaranteed to put even the most skilful golfer to the test.

Mijas – Los Olivos
Designed by Robert Trent Senior, the main feature which distinguishes this course from The Lakes is the abundance of trees – hence the name – and its smaller size, as well as fewer water hazards. The greens are smaller, undulating and well defended. Although both are the work of the same designer, there is no doubt there are interesting contrasts between the two courses: if Los Lagos are based on hazards of water and sand, Los Olivos is strategic narrow tree lined fairways and elevated greens.

With its 6,367 metres, this course is the longer of the two which comprise of Mijas Golf.

It is a course with soft movement and large greens. It could be said that the American designer wanted to present a course especially for amateurs, but at the same time, it can present a challenge for the best players.
