LAURO GOLF has its origins at the centre of a natural enviroment and has nowadays 27 holes to be combined 9 plus 9. From the beginning the design of the complex is based on respect for the enviroment that surrounds it, not only maintaining every centennial holm oak but also planting thousands of new trees, most of them andalusian indigenous species.

The course was designed by Falco Nardi who made it technical but not difficult , concentration and the right choice of club will let you get a good score in any of the fifty competitions that Lauro hold each year.

The enlargement of the course, holes 18 to 27 and designed by Mariano Benitez. also requires concentration adn cleverness, the course can be played with out a buggy as it is mostly flat although there are two holes at the foot of the mountain which offer exceptional views over the Guadalhorce Valley and Mediterranean sea.
