I often ask players on the coast, both locals and visitors which course is there favourite to play and I must say 8 times out of 10 they will say Santana Golf…Why I ask.

Well the Santana Golf & Country Club is an 18 Hole golf course par 72 of approx. 6203 metres in length, set in 138 acres of picturesque parkland. The course, sympathetically laid out by the architect Cabell B. Robinson, is set in a former avocado plantation which provided a natural solution to many problems. The final result is a magnificent course with wide and well defined fairways on level terrain, hence easily walkable, where water features play an important albeit not excessive part in the overall design.

Each hole has two championship tees and two tees for general play for both men and ladies– wide and well manicured putting greens surrounded by strategically placed bunkers, filled with sand produced from crushed marble.

The beautiful environment with its natural surrounding will give the golfer the overriding impression of an existing maturity in every aspect of the course. Santana Golf is technically speaking a demanding course as the unique design of each hole is intended to give a continuous challenge, even for the more experienced player. The layout of the greens, well protected by greenside bunkers, as well as the many water hazards spread throughout the course, will challenge every golfer and require good course management as well as the use of every golf shot in the bag.

To sum it all up, we are dealing here with a magnificent and spectacular course, where all these combined elements, together with the superb climate of the area have made Santana Golf arguably one of the best courses on the Costa del Sol.
