Courses
Santa Maria
Santa María Golf is considered to be one of the most well looked after golf courses on the Costa del Sol. It prides itself in being situated between small valleys of pine trees and cork oaks, and less than 200 metres from one of the best beaches in Marbella.
Santa Maria is an expert design with the first 9 holes designed by Antonio García Garrido. The course soon became one of the favourites for a large number of golfers visiting the region. The second 9 holes inaugurated in November 1996, were designed by the technical team of the Club. Visitors to the region consider the course as one of the firm favourites in Marbella. The course is set in a privileged environment and offers players a challenging game with stunning views to the Mediterranean Sea and forested mountains. The Clubhouse is an impressive Spanish Cortijo of the 19th Century with two floors and is surrounded by extensive gardens.

El Paraiso, designed by Gary Player is one of the most traditional golf courses on the Costa Del Sol. Located in the quiet valley of the same name, with the majestic mountain ‘La Concha’ to the north and the dazzling Mediterranean Sea to the south as a back drop. This course has an enviable reputation. Not only does it have on the best designs for a golf course, it is also one of the friendliest international clubs on the stretch of this coast.

Review
Just a quick note to say thank you for your help in organising our Golfing Trip to the Costa Del Sol. The Hotel was by far the best Hotel we have stayed in on any of our Golfing Trips and I would highly recommend it. The location of the Hotel is not that bad as I was not overly impressed with Puerto Banus. It has a first rate Pub next door which was great for drinks, food and watching the sport on TV. The transfer company you use are first class. Quality of their vehicles, promptness and drivers. Of the courses I would highly recommend Marbella Golf and Country. Also Guadalmina North as it was a total contrast to the others.
