Cabopino Golf Marbella

Cabopino Golf Marbella brings together an 18-hole course, Mediterranean views and a setting of pine trees in Marbella, in Málaga province. For golfers planning a stay on Andalucía’s Costa del Sol, it offers a par-71 layout alongside a golf academy, dining and club events, including tournaments.

Designed by Juan Ligués Creus and opened in 2001, the course has three sets of tees with published lengths. The sea is part of the experience both on the course and at the club’s restaurant and café, giving the visit a focus beyond the golf itself.

Planning your round

The overall distance varies according to your choice of tees:

• Yellow tees: 5,193 metres.
• Blue tees: 4,946 metres.
• Red tees: 4,467 metres.

All three serve the same 18-hole, par-71 course. These figures provide a useful starting point when deciding which tees suit the round you want to play, particularly if your travelling group has different preferences about distance.

Pine trees and views towards the Mediterranean are defining features of the setting. They are worth keeping in mind when choosing a course for a golf trip to Marbella: here, the coastal landscape is part of the round rather than simply the wider destination.

Look out for the third hole

The third is the hole to note before you set out. Its elevated tee and Mediterranean outlook distinguish it within the course. Take a moment to appreciate the view as well as preparing for the shot; this is a specific point where Cabopino’s position near the sea comes into focus.

Beyond the course

The club has a golf academy, adding another element for visitors interested in more than an 18-hole round. Events are also part of the club’s activities, with tournaments given their own dedicated section alongside the academy and restaurant.

Restaurant and café

Restaurante LUMA and the club café extend the visit beyond time spent playing. The dining facilities have views of the course and the Mediterranean, carrying the same landscape into a different part of the day.

For a visitor organising golf in Marbella, having a restaurant and café at the club makes it possible to include a meal or café stop in the plan. Together with the academy and tournaments, they complete the facilities offered around the course.
