Club El Candado

Club El Candado brings together a nine-hole golf course and a wider sports offering in Málaga, on the Costa del Sol in Andalucía. Close to the Mediterranean and five minutes from the city centre, it is worth considering if you want to include golf in a visit to Málaga without making the course your only focus.

For travelling golfers, the useful starting points are the nine-hole format, the illuminated practice tee and the choice of green fee options. The club also has buggy hire and a golf academy, giving visitors several aspects to consider when planning their time around the game.

Golf close to the city

The club’s course is Campo de golf de El Candado. With nine holes, it offers a different format from a full eighteen-hole course. Keep that distinction in mind when planning your golf schedule, and check which green fee option suits the visit you have in mind.

Buggy hire is available at the club. If you would like to use one, checking the arrangements alongside your green fee is a sensible part of preparing for your round. The choice of green fee options is another reason to establish the details before settling on your plans.

Practice and tuition

An illuminated practice tee is part of the golf facilities, alongside the academy. These are useful features to know about whether your interest is in playing the course, working on your game or finding out about tuition. When making enquiries, distinguish between a round, practice and academy activities so that you can plan around what you want to do.

Beyond the golf course

Padel, tennis, a clubhouse and children’s activities broaden the club’s offering. For a trip with family or companions whose interests are not limited to golf, these are relevant parts of the picture. They give you more to consider than the course alone when deciding whether El Candado fits your visit to Málaga.

An established golf event

The club also holds a Golf Week with more than thirty editions to its name. That event is a further part of its golfing identity. If it is the reason for your visit, check the relevant programme rather than treating it as an ordinary course booking.
