Marbella Club Golf

Marbella Club Golf brings together an 18-hole Dave Thomas course and a mountain setting in Benahavís, in Málaga province on the Costa del Sol. For golfers planning their stay, the practical detail is the transfer: the course is 25 minutes from the hotel, and transport to the golf resort is included during the stay.

The setting is as much a part of the introduction as the course itself. From the hills of Benahavís, the views take in the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and Africa, as well as the surrounding mountains. The club also has a clubhouse and equestrian facilities.

The golf course

Designed by Dave Thomas, the course measures 6,247 metres across 18 holes. Its features include well-kept fairways, waterfalls and strategically placed bunkers, bringing several distinct elements into the layout rather than relying on the views alone.

The course sits among the mountains of Benahavís. That location provides the backdrop to the golf, while the fairways, bunkers and waterfalls give a more immediate picture of what is on the course. For an initial overview, the key details are its 18-hole format, its length and its designer.

Mountains and Mediterranean views

This is a Costa del Sol course with a hillside setting. The surrounding mountains frame the landscape, while the wider outlook includes the sea and the distant landmarks of Gibraltar and Africa.

Those views are one of the reasons to get to know Marbella Club Golf. They place the course in the broader landscape of this part of Andalucía: the hills of Benahavís on one hand, and the Mediterranean outlook on the other. Waterfalls add another feature to the course's appearance alongside its maintained fairways.

Planning the transfer

Allow for the 25-minute journey from the hotel to the course when putting together a golf day. Transport to the golf resort is included during the stay, making that transfer a relevant part of the arrangements rather than a separate detail to overlook.

Beyond the course

The clubhouse and equestrian facilities are the other facilities listed at Marbella Club Golf. Each has its own page in this guide, keeping the introduction to the golf course separate from the information about these additional parts of the club.
