Real Club de Golf Guadalmina: Real (in English, Royal) Guadalmina is home to two championship 18-hole courses and a 9-hole short course.

The South (or Sur) course is the second oldest layout on the Costa del Sol, arriving a mere 34 years after the first - Real Club de Campo de Málaga. The South was designed by Javier Arana in 1959, and is renowned for its difficulty, making it more suitable for experienced players. Most of this excellently maintained layout is played through undulating, tree-lined fairways with plenty of villas tucked-in behind the trees. The fairways are generally quite narrow, and well protected by the tree-line, which puts a premium on straight driving. The course is almost unique on the Costa, in terms of getting you down to the sea and overlooking the beach. This seaside "experience" is brief, but includes the memorable par-3 11th hole, with its huge bunker down the left-handside - almost as much sand as on the beach itself. With little rough to speak of, it will be the tightish fairways, excellent greens and brief seaside experience that will command your attention on the South.

Guadalmina North (Norte) was designed by Folco Nardi in 1973. This course runs almost parallel to its southern “brother,” and is shorter, more undlating and more wooded than the South course. The layout requires straight driving if you are to stay out of the numerous water hazards.
