Golf in Spain, guadalhorce golf course costa del sol golf

The Guadalhorce Golf club, with its impressive Andalusian mansion built at the end of the 18th century, is a green oasis in the midst of the busy capital. it has become one of the best and most hospitable clubs on the Costa Del Sol, hosting more than 60 championships a year, the most important being the Vega del Guadalhorce grand prix. Two years after being opened, the course was the venue of the Spanish Men's Singles and Doubles championships. Although a very young club, it was honoured when, on the 16th of April 1991, HRH Don Juan Carlos de Borbón y Battemberg, Count of Barcelona, accepted the Honorary presidency of the Club.

the club house was designed by the architect Ignacio Gómez Temboury, Who also undertook the restoration of the old mansion and farmhouse. Although not without their difficulties, the first nine holes stretch over gentle hillocks with trees characteristic of dry farming land. The final part of the course is reminiscent of those in California, completely grass covered with lakes compounding the hole's difficulty and more tropical vegetation.

As with Californian courses, it also has a large and tricky greens. next to the practise ground, near to the greens of the 7th and 9th there is a delightful rest area. Given its tropical vegetation with abundance of palms, willows and yuccas, the land surrounding the club House has a distinct American flavour to it. Is the ideal venue for celebrating all types of championship.
