Wide fairways with little rough take the emphasis away from the tee shots but place it on the approach shots with many elevated greens.
The greens are large and undulating making club selection a key. The 5,878 metre, par 71 golf course is highlighted by the “Santa Clara Corner” formed by the 12th, 13th and 14th holes, are a perfect combination of pars 4, 3 and 5, which requires the golfer to make long and accurate shots.
With the long par 3’s testing even the best ball strikers and water coming into play on several holes Santa Clara Golf provides a challenge for golfers of all levels.
The impressive clubhouse overlooks the 9th and 18th holes and the golf academy, with views to the Mediterranean from the large terrace.
The driving range is one the best on the Costa del Sol Golf. It has two independent practice tees with 15 places on each tee. At the upper one is placed the Santa Clara Golf School.
Situated in one of the most exclusive areas of Marbella, Santa Clara Golf is set to become a must play golf course on the Costa del Sol Golf.
