Playing golf next to the Mediterranean Sea is a true luxury, but courses by the sea are not the only asset of the Costa del Sol. In the inland areas of Malaga you will find some up to your expectations with first class facilities and landscapes full of nature. We propose three alternatives to enjoy the Costa del Golf in a different way.
Antequera Golf
Antequera is known for its cultural heritage, its fascinating history and its rich cuisine. But also for hosting a golf course in the geographical centre of Andalucia, surrounded by the valley and the mountains preceding the area of El Torcal.
Its 18 holes, all different, will allow you to use each of your clubs through an entertaining journey marked by 18 lakes. Its design makes it an easy and original course, whose mottos are fun and respect for nature.
Antequera Golf also offers three housing options: a convent of the sixteenth century turned into a five star accommodation, a resort with all modern comforts and a hotel located in the old town centre. And for lunch or dinner, nothing better than the restaurant of the course with its fantastic views to the Peña de los Enamorados.
Alhaurin Golf
In the Valle del Guadalhorce, one of the best facilities in Malaga awaits you. Practice your favorite sport in this 18-hole course of Alhaurin Golf, with its landscape dominated by the Sierra de Mijas and its own grove of Mediterranean forest.
Designed by Severiano Ballesteros, its circuit is a challenge even for the most experienced golfers. However, if you want to get started in this discipline or workout at the short game, you have an affordable 9-hole course at your disposal.
The complex, located in Alhaurin El Grande, includes a hotel of Andalusian inspiration and a splendid clubhouse with restaurant. From its terrace of natural grass you can relax watching the streets, greens and lakes of this versatile golf course.
Lauro Golf
Located in Alhaurin de la Torre, Lauro Golf is a course so integrated into its natural surroundings that the presence of rabbits, ducks, herons and even eagles flying over is not strange among its century-old oaks and 14 lakes.
Thanks to its microclimate, any time is favourable to explore its 27 holes, nine in nine combinable. Two of them, at the foot of the mountain, offer beautiful views of the Guadalhorce Valley and the sea in the background.
It is not a difficult but a technical course, which has also a clubhouse in a traditional Andalusian farmhouse. A lovely place where you can taste the best cuisine or relax under an impressive ficus after a game in nature.
For sports enthusiasts, the resort Lauro Golf also has a paddle academy, a swimming pool and an equestrian centre. And don’t forget the Lawn Bowls Club, which offers the possibility to practice this fun outdoors game throughout the year.
