Estepona Golf has earned a reputation as a well-presented, fair golf course with ample fairways and tees, as well as greens which are the envy of most other courses in southern Spain. This fine track incorporates the natural landscape beautifully and is set against the Sierra Bermeja mountain range as well as enjoying sea views from most parts of the course. There is plenty of room for error as the fairways are wide and the greens large, but accuracy is key if you want to avoid those long putts. There are many palms, eucalyptus and wild olive trees skirting the fairways and combined with sea views on almost every hole you’ll want to have some time out to take it all in. The signature hole is the 10th par 4, which is many players favoured hole particularly in Matchplay. If you are bold or stupid you can go for the green in one which will necessitate a carry of more than 240 metres. This makes it a great hole in Matchplay because it can turn a tight game on it’s head, The clover shape green is surrounded by water as well as sand hazards. The newly renovated club house is welcoming as the 19th hole and the restaurant offers good quality, fresh produce.

Overlooking Estoril and the sea, this 5200-metre-long course is set amongst eucalyptus, mimosas and pine trees giving a uniquely colourful touch that demands excellent tactics, challenges in accuracy rather than distance. The visually stunning par 3 holes although they vary in length all pose particular challenges; the 4th hole. The Peppers Hole surrounded by pepper trees; the 8th hole The Tea Cup – is well known due to the always challenging flag position.
