Almenara Golf Club is located about an hours drive outside of Benalmada, just to the west of Marbella but just before Gilbatrar. This particular Spanish golf club is situated within the Urbanización de Sotogrande residential estate, which is found right on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, so you know that the views from a lot of the holes are going to be simply spectacular.

Almenara Golf

The Almenara golf course is a 27 hole par 72 championship golf course that is also the home of the Almenara Golf school of Excellence. The school of excellence has highly modernized golf practice facilities including a floodlit driving range. Almenara was designed by golf architect Dave Thomas and was opened to the public in 1998.

Almenara golf is a fantastic course that puts a premium on golfing intelligence and accuracy, with its tight undulating fairways, deep bunkers and plenty of water hazards. Thomas through his three different course layouts has created three very unique 18 hole courses that all warrant the time to be played and explored.The first 18 hole course is known for its heavily wooded fairways and lightening quick greens, the second set of 18 is much more open and heavily dominated by the beautiful lake in which it wraps around and finally the third 18 stretches some of the most impressive tees within Spain and compromises a series of huge lakes. You can rest assured that each set of 18 holes that you play will look and feel different due to the three different sets of 9.

One of the most noticeable features of this Costa del Sol golf retreat is the immaculate condition that the greens are always found in. They are kept so immaculate because of the way the club rotates the 18 holes that are in play at any one time. The only gripe we had with the greens was that they were quite small and very very quick – however this isn’t a problem as much as an annoyance given our golfing skill level!

Almenara golf club is located very closely to the award winning Valderamma golf course, we recommend that if you have the time and the inclination that you play both of these fantastic Costa del Sol golf courses. Your Costa del Sol golf holiday wont be the same without them.

Almenara Golf Course – Featured Holes

The Almenara Golf Course is one of the few golf courses that contain a huge amount of really thoughtful and challenging holes. Most visitors will agree that you cannot play a shot without thinking, this is because the course has been designed with doglegs, elevated tees, water hazards and many strategically placed bunkers.

The holes that we think will really challenge you…

The 5th hole is a whopping 420 meter long par 4 that plays more like a par five. It doglegs slightly to the right and you will need to be on top of your game to get the ball up the slight hill and onto the green in regulation.

The closing 18th hole has recently been shortened from a long unmanageable par 5 to a 338 meter par 4 which can definitely be reached in two. The view of the beuatiful club house as you come up the final hole and can virtually touch the Mediterranean Sea is a view to die for. Enjoy this final hole of your round, and soak what is Benalmadena golf at its finest all in.

The Miraflores golf course is set within the pristine hills behind the Miraflores golf resort and from the course you will be presented with panoramic views of the gorgeous surrounding mountainside all the way through to the Medittaranean Sea.

Miraflores Golf

By todays standards Miraflores is a very short hill side golf course measuring in at 5113 meters from the championship tees. It is a par 71 course, designed in the late 1980’s be golf architect Falco Nardi and opened for public golfers in 1990. The course is located in the hills above Mijas Costa and as such has successfully incorporated the soft undulating hillsides into the course design.

This beautiful Costa del Sol golf course will especially appeal to those creative golfers who enjoy the challenge of having to use their imagination to naviagate their way around the course. Miraflores has a multitude of elevated tees and greens, doglegs and lateral hazards that emphasize the need to consider club selection and shot placement in order to maximize the golfers chance of success around the course.

This Benalmadena golf course is well suited for a whole family experience due to the short length of the course. Ladies and children will not be overly intimidated by the course, while those experienced low handicappers will find the tight fairways challenging and the risk/reward of cutting dog legs really beneficial leading to many birdie and eagle opportunities (or potentially bogeys and double bogeys!).

Probably the most exciting thing about golf at Miraflores is that the price is much more competitive and economical than the other Costa del Sol golf courses. While prices at a course like Torrequebrada may be upwards of 100 euros, Miraflores golf course is one of Spain golfs hidden gems, costing only 36.50 euros for 18 holes of golf! Prices are reduced further if you play during the twilight hours after 5pm everyday.

Miraflores Golf Course – Featured Holes

Miraflores golf course contains a wide variety of truly breathtaking holes that will provide a challenge to even the most competitive of golfers. There are enough hazards, slopes and doglegs to ensure that this Spanish golf course will test you time and time again.

The holes to really enjoy while playing Miraflores golf course in our opinion…

Hole 8 is a 277 meter par 4 that offers a great challenge to all golfers. What makes this hole so tricky is that OOB is in play all the way up the left hand side of the fairway, yet you’ll need to take at least 3 wood to give yourself a short iron left into the green. The fairway is narrow and if you lose your shot to the right you will be rewarded with trees, trees and a few more trees. The view of the mountains from this hole is extraordinary.

Hole 15 is a short 120 meter par 3 that is completely surrounded by water, much like the 17th at TPC Sawgrass. While very short you must be laser like with your accuracy otherwise you will definitely find the water. Overshoot the landing area and your ball is also just as likely to trickle off the back of the green leaving you wet as well. This is one of the most picturesque holes on Miraflores and quite possibly the most fun.

Torrequebrada Golf

Torrequebrada Golf course is not the longest course at only 5806 meters and is a par 72 championship quality course. It was designed by Spain’s most revered golf architect Pepe Gancedo and opened in 1976. Gancedo was a master of utilizing the individual contours and slopes of the region to produce a course in which every hole is truly unique. The fairways are beautifully manicured with the fairways and greens kept in immaculate condition through the tireless work the Torrequebrada green staff put into the course.

One of Torrequebrada golf courses defining features is the strategic subtlety required to successfully navigate the challenging layout and ensure maximum value for all of your shots. Gancedo deliberately designed the course to suit the thinking golfer as water and strategically placed fairway bunkers come into play throughout the whole 18 holes of the course. 8 of the holes have been designed with doglegs ensuring that accuracy off the tee is a premium.

In recent years the Torrequebrada golf club have invested a significant amount of money to improving the quality of the course and the actual clubhouse facilities. Most recently we have seen the installation of a new irrigation system, as well as the provision of a new Pro Shop and Caddymaster system. What Torrequebrada have achieved is a modern golf club that will serve you well on your Costa del Sol golf holiday.

Our Benalmadena Golf Tip: Torrequebrada golf course is a fantastic venue for the last round of golf you play on your Costa del Sol golf holiday. Its close to the Malaga airport and the golf club provides a high quality restaurant and bar so you can have a meal before you leave. Also because of its high quality experience you will leave your golf vacation with a hugely positive experience and massive smile (even if you dont play well!).

The holes to really enjoy while you are playing this course in our opinion…

The 12th hole is a long par 5 and if you are driving well you’ll get really good bang for your buck with the possibility of reaching the green in two. Also if your playing well with the long stick you will enjoy the par 4 5th which will allow you to cut the corner with a booming drive.

If you wanted to implement a nearest to the pin challenge to your foursomes round then the short 3rd hole will allow everybody to have a chance at getting one close. However just because it’s short doesn’t mean it is going to be easy. The legendary Seve Ballasteros made a 7 on this very same hole!
