Costa del Golf

The Costa del Sol is now better known as the Costa del Golf, the capital of European golfing holidays. This privileged area has an average of over 300 days of sunshine each year.

Here is a selection of golf course that are nearest to the apartment.

Miraflores Golf Club

Designed by Falco Nardi and opened in 1990, Miraflores Golf Club has undergone a transformation and offers a real challenge to all levels of golfing ability. Each one of the 18 holes offers a different challenge. The course follows the natural contours of the valley and is much flatter than first appearance suggests.

The Golf Academy offers tuition for everyone -- from the outright beginner to the most discerning low-handicap golfer wishing to hone his skills.

La Cala Golf Club

The natural features of the La Cala terrain have been used to challenging effect by the renowned golf course architect, Cabell B. Robinson. The three courses are carefully maintained to ensure they are playable all year round.

The North Course (now renamed Campo America) is perhaps more difficult than the shorter South (Campo Asia) but both demand great accuracy from the tee and careful club selection.

Meanwhile, the third golf course, Campo Europa, uses the River Ojen in making the course distinctive. The layout allows for plenty of water hazards. All three offer different challenges to all levels of golfers and demand good course management in addition to a wide variety of shots.

The resort is the location for the only David Leadbetter Academy in Spain, which offers lessons and group classes for both beginners and experienced players, with multilingual professionals on hand to improve your game.

Situated beside the six hole par 3 ‘executive’ course, the academy has a grass driving range, top-class instruction facilities including Europe’s only TaylorMade Performance Lab, a SAM putting lab, zenoLINK biomechanics analysis and video analysis. In addition there are putting and chipping and bunker facilities.
