Santa Maria Golf Club

Santa Maria Golf Club is one of the most popular holiday golf courses on the Costa del Sol on the coast situated conveniently between the popular beach resorts of Fuengirola and Marbella with easy access off the main road. The course suits high to medium handicap players.

The first nine holes of Santa Maria were masterfully designed by renowned golf architect Antonio Garcia, while the second nine were crafted by the club's skilled technical team, offering a slightly wider layout. The course's popularity makes it a preferred choice for golfers planning their golf package holidays. As a result, Santa Maria can experience higher traffic during peak seasons, leading to potentially slower rounds.

During the front nine, you'll encounter a challenging climb to the green on two holes, and the steep path from the 5th green to the 6th tee can be demanding, even for the fittest golfers. However, apart from these instances, the front nine is generally easy to walk.

Santa Maria features several water hazards that add to the course's level of difficulty. Notable signature holes include the dogleg 8th hole, a par 5 that demands a well-placed tee shot to navigate the dogleg. The second shot needs to be accurate as water runs along the right side, often concealed from the fairway, while the left side is out of bounds.

Another memorable hole is the Dogleg 13th, a par 5 that requires a strong tee shot over a ravine. If you opt to cut the corner with a shorter shot, your second shot will still need to clear another ravine.

Golfers often consider the long par 4, 16th hole as their favourite for showcasing their longest drives. On the other hand, the short 15th hole provides a stunning bird's eye view of the green from the natural terrain and is ideal for testing your precision with the nearest to the pin challenges.
