Golf Torrequebrada

Golf Torrequebrada brings together an 18-hole course, practice facilities and a restaurant in Benalmádena, on the Costa del Sol. The club is in Málaga province, Andalucía, and is 20 minutes from Málaga Airport. For golfers arriving from abroad, that airport proximity is a useful starting point when placing the course within a golf trip.

Designed by José “Pepe” Gancedo and opened in 1976, Torrequebrada also has a place in the history of Spain’s national Open. Its appeal is not confined to playing a round: lessons and club fitting are available alongside the practice facilities.

A former Spanish Open venue

Torrequebrada hosted the 53rd Spanish Open in 1979, three years after the course opened. Dale Hayes won that edition, giving the club a specific connection with the tournament’s history.

For visitors interested in the background of the courses they play, these are the key reference points: Gancedo’s design, the 1976 opening and the Open’s visit in 1979. The 18-hole course is therefore both a place to play during a Costa del Sol stay and a former venue for Spain’s national championship.

Time for practice

The driving range measures 300 metres and has 15 hitting bays. A putting green and a practice bunker extend the training facilities beyond the range, providing areas for putting and shots from the sand as well as hitting balls.

Lessons and club fitting are also part of the club’s offering. These give visitors two further services to consider when organising their time at Torrequebrada: instruction for their golf and fitting for their equipment. Together with the range, putting green and bunker, they make practice a distinct part of what the club offers, rather than the visit being solely about an 18-hole round.

Clubhouse and travel reference points

The clubhouse and restaurant complete the club’s facilities. They are worth factoring into plans for a day at Torrequebrada alongside golf or practice. The clubhouse also has its own entry in this guide.

Benalmádena is the town to keep in mind when locating the club, with the Costa del Sol providing the wider setting. Málaga Airport, 20 minutes away, is the air-travel reference for arranging a visit to this part of Andalucía.
