The Best Golf Courses Nearby

Here we have tried to list some of the golf courses in the area with some details about each one. In some cases I have given the par and length of each of the courses according to competition play so these will vary depending on which tee each golfer uses.

Golf Courses in the area of Casares del Sol :

There are two courses within walking distance of the apartment. They are located immediately opposite the Penthouse and 150 metres up the road on the right.

1. Finca El Cortesin Golf Club:
The 18 holes golf course is designed by Cabell Robinson. The golf course length is 7000 metres from the whites so its one of the most longest golf courses in Europe with a 71 par. El Cortesin sits in an area of some 200 hectares in a totally enclosed gated community with only one entrance. It is ideally located being approx. 50 minutes from Malaga Airport and 25 minutes from Gibraltar.

The Golf Club El Cortesin Golf was open since March 2006. The Golf course is situated in Casares, Malaga between Marbella and Sotogrande.
2. Casares Golf Gardens :

Nearby Golf Courses in Costa del Sol :

1. Estepona Golf :

This course has wonderful views of the mountains and is surrounded by green fields with impressive trees and plants. It has short fairways and difficult roughs so requires some accuracy.

2. El Campanario Golf :
The golf course at El Campanario is an executive length nine hole, par 3 course that is maintained to the same exceptionally high standards as the gardens on the resort.
The famous golfer Manolo Piñero designed the course with artificial and natural greens, to suit every standard of player. The peaceful surroundings and sound of the natural river allow you to concentrate fully on your game. It is the ideal place to practice and to improve your short game or to play a quick round, prior to heading out to the many high quality courses in the vicinity. This is a beautiful course lying next to the Dos Hermanas stream.

3. Almenara Golf :

This is quite a new course set around lakes and Cork Oak trees. The greens have already been accepted as being of tournament quality and this should be a classic course in the not so distant future.

4. El Paraiso Golf Club :

Situated between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona at Benavista.
Without doubt El Paraiso Golf Club is a well designed course that golfers will never tire of playing and will look forward to returning for another chance to conquer!

The club is also justifiably proud of the friendly, social atmosphere enjoyed by members and visitors alike. Visiting golfers are made particularly welcome and can, during most of the year (please check with the Golf Director) enter many of the competitions organised by the club each month.

Everywhere you look the views are magnificent, from many holes you can see the blue of the mediterranean and there is always the backdrop of the dramatic mountains. Gary Player has used these natural resources brilliantly to create one of the best designed courses on the Costa del Sol.

The clubhouse sits in the heart of the course, looking onto the 18th green and was created out of a number of country “casitas” giving it an intimate and friendly ambience helped by the attentive service of the “camareros”.

5. La Quinta :

La Quinta demands stamina and accuracy from its elevated tees. The Golf School is on hand for those wishing to improve.
A challenging course at the top of Marbella’s golf valley inaugurated in 1989. Three nine-hole loops, played in different combinations, wind through a large real estate development. A technical course that reflect the designer Manuel Piñero’s own playing characteristics in that it rewards accuracy rather than long hitting. A variety of hazards come into play from elevated tees with trees, water, sand and streams to negotiate before approaching a good proportion of raised greens. Not too difficult to walk.
Home to the former World Champion Manuel Piñero’s Golf School.
