Putt, drive and swing your way across the greens and fairways of the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina. This golf country club has two 18-hole courses set amid superb scenery near the Alboran Sea.
To practice your strokes, start off at the driving range which also has a chipping and putting green as well as a practice bunker.
If you're an experienced player, head for the south course. This is the club's oldest course and known to be tricky because of the narrow tree-lined fairways that require players to shoot straight.
Alternatively, play a round on the shorter and hillier north course which has several water hazards to be wary of. The golfing complex also has a nine-hole pitch and putt course.
Improve your game and learn more about golfing strategies with professional tuition by the club’s resident professionals. There are individual and group golf courses for juniors and adults of all levels.
