çCaptains’ Rest Golf Courses Spain: Spotlight

Alhaurin

Alhaurin Golf is one of the most picturesque complexes on the Costa del Sol. Designed by Seve Ballesteros, this remains one of the toughest tests of golf on the Costa, with tight, sloping fairways, blind holes and tricky greens - but must be played if only to appreciate how on earth a course can be built to such a high standard in the mountain terrain it lies upon, but beware take plenty of balls - just in case!!


Anoreta

Anoreta Golf along with Baviera Golf is in our opinion without doubt one of the two best 18 Hole golf courses East of Malaga on the Costa Del Sol.
Designed by ex-Ryder Cup hero Jose Maria Canizares and provides a good test for golfers of all capabilities with water being a key feature on no less than 11 holes with its signature hole the Par 3 17th requiring a minimum carry of 160 metres over the wet stuff!

A great advantage of playing this course is that buggies can be taken on the fairways which is only allowed by a very small number of courses on the Costa del Sol.

Baviera

Situated East of Malaga, 10 mins further on from Anoreta Golf, Baviera is becoming quite a popular haven for the resident & visiting golfers alike.

Maturing into a great course, the green staff & Clubhouse staff ensure that you play on a course that is always in excellent condition whilst being well fed and watered by their numerous friendly staff & management team.

Here you have the chance to use a variety of clubs whilst enjoying the Mediterranean views - although not at the same time we hope!!

El Chaparral

Fastly becoming one of the most popular courses on the coast, El Chaparral has proved that through perserverence and shrewd managerial decision making it is possible to resurrect what many before had though to be a lost cause – how wrong they were.

With the unusual layout of 6 par 3’s, 6 par 4’s & 6 par 5’s this par 72 provides a good test of golf for all levels of handicap plus floodlit driving range & Pro teaching facilities makes this a visiting must for the passing golfing tourist.The course along with the Clubhouse facilities prove that the new management may have found the winning formula for every success in the years to come.
