Torrequebrada Golf Course

Filed under Golf


Torrequebrada Golf Course has earned the enviable reputation of being one of the premiere golf courses in the Benalmadena region. It has hosted a wide range of major tournaments in its time including the Spanish Open of 1979. It’s reputation is so great that most golf travelers will tell you that no Costa del Sol golf trip should not include the fantastic Torrequebrada Golf Course.

Torrequebrada Golf Club is located just a short 2.2 kilometers to the West of the main township of Benalmadena Costa. From the course you will have a truly scenic view of both the diverse mountain ranges and the Mediterranean Sea, providing a pleasant starked contrast within your round. It is the most centrally located golf course to Benalmadena but is still a viable option no matter where you are staying on the Costa del Sol.

Torrequebrada Golf Fairway

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!).

Torrequebrada Golf Course – Featured Holes

Torrequebrada Golf

The Torrequebrada 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 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!
