With around 50 courses along the Costa del Sol coastline, the visiting golfer is completely spoilt for choice. Many of the courses are hilly, some requiring a buggy for any but the super fit, however there are also a good number of fairly flat parkland courses. The courses at this end of the Costa del Golf tend to be less crowded and better value than those nearer to Marbella.

Other top class Golf Courses include Sotogrande, San Roque, Real Club du Golf and La Canada. Estepona Golf Club is less than 10-minutes away and another 15 minutes away are many further courses including Aloha, Los Naranjos, La Quinta and Las Brisas.
