GOLF COURSES ON THE COAST OF SOUTHERN SPAIN
Coastal Southern Spain provides golf courses suitable for golfers of all abilities, from the scratch player to the beginner. With incredible landscapes, outstanding views of the Atlantic and Mediterranean and year-round sunshine, the region provides for marvellous golfing experiences.
Valderrama, Cadiz
The venue for the 1997 Ryder Cup, along with several other professional tournaments, Valderrama, designed by Robert Trent Jones, provides one of Europe`s toughest golfing challenges. The par-71 Championship Course, at nearly 7,000 yards from the back tees is recommended for seasoned (and talented!) campaigners only, with thought and precision required for every shot. The 4th hole, "La Cascada," is the course`s signature hole, one of the finest par-5s in the world. The two-tiered green is guarded by a large tree on the left and a lake, complete with waterfall, on its right. With no hole less than championship standard and always in superb condition, a visit to Valderrama is a unique golfing experience.
La Quinta Golf and Country Club, Marbella
The La Quinta Club is situated in Marbella`s golf valley with excellent views down to the Mediterranean and is accessible from Puerto Banus or the San Pedro road. Its 27 holes, in three 9-hole loops, provide three par-72 courses of just over 6000 yards in length. Designed by Manuel Pinero, the course(s) reflect his own play, rewarding accuracy over long hitting. However, La Quinta remains very challenging from its elevated tees, with trees, sand and water needing to be negotiated en route to many raised greens.
Baviera Golf Course, Malaga
Baviera, situated to the east of Malaga, is also popular with both the local and expatriot communities. Designed by professional Jose Maria Canizares, Baviera is a flat, easily walked course, ideal for players of all abilities. It measures 5572 yards from the yellow boxes, with a par of 71. The course is characterised by its wide, heavily-contoured greens. The variety of holes and the unsurpassable views of both the Mediterranean Sea and mountains contribute to an enjoyable experience.
Rio Real Golf Course, Marbella
The Rio Real golf course is situated some 2 miles east of Marbella. It is 6706 yards in length (from the back tees) with a par of 72. Designed by Spain`s top architect Javier Arana, the course opened in 1965. Essentially a flat course, it follows a gradual incline towards the sea. Wonderful views, well-established trees providing welcome shade, with the Real River (from which it takes its name) intersecting the course at several points, make playing at Rio Real a pleasurable experience.
There are many social aspects and benefits to playing golf and joining a golf club. As with any form of social club, a golf club provides the opportunity to meet new, interesting people and make social connections. With the average round of golf taking in excess of 4 hours, the golf course itself is a means of getting to know people better. Golf is also a great game to play with family members. Teaching the game to children greatly enhances family communication. Regardless of with whom you play, golf provides a great arena for social interaction.
Most golf clubs and courses on the South Spanish coast have their own Internet websites. These are well worth investigating in order to obtain the best golf prices with regard to green fees and / or membership.
