Cabopino Golf Club

Cabopino Golf Club is one of the newest and most picturesque of all of the Costa del Sol golf courses. The course is nestled distinctly within a beautiful glade of umbrella pines in the hills behind the Spanish Marina that is also named Cabopino. Being a shortish par 71 championship calibre golf course, Cabopino golf course is a perfect fit for anyone looking for the ideal Benalmadena Golf holiday no matter your handicap or golfing ability.

Located just a short half hour drive (24.6km) from Benalmadena inbetween Fuengirola and Marbella, Cabopino Golf Club is heralded as the thinking mans course and makes each and every golfer use every club in their bag in order to effectively navigate the championship layout.

Cabopino Golf

The Cabopino Golf Club is an 18 hole par 71 championship calibre golf course that is quite short by modern standards registering at only 5170 meters long from the back tees. The course itself was designed by Madrid native golf architect Juan Liques and opened doors to the public in late 2001. Its spectacular design encompasses the Costa del Sol coastline beautifully, offering wide sweeping views of both the Meditarranean Sea and the rolling inland mountain ranges covered in lucious pine trees.

This Costa del Sol golf course is made up of thirteen par 4′s, three par 3′s and two par 5′s and as has already been mentioned is a great fit for low and high handicappers. Juan Liques has made great use of the limited space available to this golf course by incorporating subtle elevation changes, numerous dog legs and many blind shots. As a result low handicappers have many opportunities to play risk/reward golf in order to come in under the card. At the same time higher handicappers will enjoy being able to play all the different clubs in the bag whilst scrambling their way around the course.

Cabopino is well renowned for its intricate use of water in the form of signature lakes to ensure that accuracy rather than distance is kept at a premium. This golf course will suit the imaginative player who can shape their shots, rather than the power hitter due to the fact that the power hitter will struggle to keep their ball in play throughout the winding, tightly laid out Cabopino Golf Course design.

Being such a young course in terms of design and playing life, the facilities and playing conditions are always rapidly increasing and improving from year to year. In recent years the Cabopino Golf Acadamy and Cabopino Driving range have been opened and are reaping huge rewards to travelers who want to fine tune their game whilst on their Costa del Sol golf holiday. The center is run by experienced tour professional Carlos Dominguez and private and group tuition can be booked no problem at all. Cabopino Golf Club has also been named an authorized fitting center for Titleist and Cobra golf clubs, with a fully stocked fitting workshop that can create a tailor made golf club set for any unique individual.

Cabopino Golf Club – Signature Hole

Cabopino Golf Course opens up with two very innocuous par 4′s however it is the par 4 third that is this golf courses prize jewel. From the top of the tee box, your first shot is played to a de-elevated fairway which is a whopping 200 meters below in a twisting valley of bristling pine trees. The view from the tee bos as you line up your drive will definitely send a shiver down your spine as you soak in this spectacular view.

When you finally read the fairway in your golf cart ride into the picturesque valley, you realise the subtle nuance of placing this tee shot in the right location. Facing you now is a second shot which is just as, if not more spectacular than the first. Your approach needs to be hit to a now elevated green that is protected by a huge bunker, and a huge olive tree which stands in gentle isolation, distracting you from your target pin high on this slick undulating green.
