Guadalmina Golf

South Course: Considered the superior of the two, Guadalmina Sur (South Course) offers a challenging and rewarding experience, particularly for higher handicappers seeking a test. Regarded as one of the finest courses on the Costa del Sol, it exudes elegance from the first tee to the final hole, leaving players thoroughly satisfied.

With its exquisite parkland design, the course features meticulously maintained fairways and greens that demand precision for achieving par. Flowing gracefully through the prestigious Guadalmina urbanization, this course showcases stunning holes, including the breathtaking Par 3 Hole 11. Set against the sea's edge with the striking Rock of Gibraltar as a backdrop, club selection for this hole varies depending on the ever-changing wind conditions.

Old, majestic trees strategically protect the fairways, requiring accurate shots to navigate past them and set up crucial second shots.

North Course: Compared to its counterpart, the North Course is shorter, hillier, and incorporates more water hazards. It offers a slightly easier playing experience, characterized by undulating terrain in certain areas. The course winds its way around residential properties, which may be close to the course in some sections, although this proximity may not appeal to those seeking a more serene, natural countryside setting.

However, disregarding the properties, the course layout remains interesting and well-maintained. Straight drives down the middle of the fairways are essential to avoid the numerous water hazards hidden within the rough.

Both the South and North courses at Guadalmina provide distinct experiences, with the South offering a challenging and classy round, while the North offers a slightly shorter and more varied terrain with water challenges.
