Alhaurin Golf is an ambitious golf club and boasts three golf courses, which were designed by Seve Ballesteros.

Alhaurin Golf on Costa del Sol Golf sits just behind the Mijas mountain range on the Costa del Sol and beautifully blends in with its rugged natural surroundings.

It is an ambitious golf club and boasts three golf courses, 27 holes of which were designed by Spain’s favorite son the legendary Seve Ballesteros.

There is a full length 18 hole golf course, a short 18 hole course for juniors and a further 9 hole par 3 course, players of all levels can enjoy the main course and some holes have up to six different tee positions. It is a good test for even the most accomplished golfer who would be wise to make use of his long irons rather than a driver on many holes.

Alhaurin Golf Course itself is attractive with well kept green fairways set against the mountainous backdrop and natural vegetation. The main characteristic is the hilly design adapted to the surroundings with tight fairways all of varying degrees of difficulty, fast greens, lakes and ample bunkers.

The views are spectacular where the Mediterranean and Africa can be seen from the south and the mountains from the north. Our advice is to take advantage of the buggies normally included with the green fee, as walking across the hilly terrain will spoil your day and be very exhausting.

Alhaurin Golf is the perfect retreat for those looking for peace and tranquility with clear mountain air, you can get all this whilst being only 20 minutes away from the coast.

Alhaurin Golf are very strict about booking tee times and specify this must be done by fax giving names and handicaps of players. There is a driving range, pro-shop and tuition can be arranged on a group or individual basis.
