I played this course today. It was rather hot so we took a buggy and plenty of water with us.

The yellow tees were all brought forward so the course didn't play very long. Tees, fairways and greens were all in excellent shape, greens were rather fast.

Made my best score of the holidaya so obviously enjoyed the course a lot.... Very nice scenery so I took a lot of pictures.

Only negative remark: the GPS system in the buggy didn't work so we went back after 3 holes. Other buggy had similar problems so in the end I left it although for some holes an accurate yardage would have been nice....

I fully recommend this course if you visit the Costa del Sol!

Excellent course, but buggy essential. Hilly and distance between holes. Played on a Friday and surprisingly empty. Perfect conditions and variety of hazards - water, ravines, slopes proved to be a good challenge. Secret is to keep it on the short stuff - all to easy to assume that the par 70 is a pushover. Stroke saver useful since many holes are dog legs and played over blind brows - position is everything.

Only downside - no practise facilities on the club house site. Warm up at the range as you enter the village complex.

Playd this on tour and we all agreed this was one of the best courses we played during the week if not the best.

Some very good holes on this course. Good course layout, well manicured as you'd expect, great fairways and big greens that run true and fast. Plenty of bunkers and water dotted around the place should you stray of the straight and narrow.

One word of warning though - some of the walks between holes are long, and not only that some of the walks are extremely steep. If you're not the fittest, don't walk this course - we did, admittedly after a night on the town which won't have helped, but nevertheless a long walk. there's one hole in particular where you go under the flyover and seem to climb forever - there's a drinks machine strategically located under the bridge! That said, they do insist that buggies stick to the paths which is the reason we decided to walk, it really does slow you down when you're actually on a hole.

Off course we couldn't fault it - very friendly, food was pretty good and not ridiculously expensive. Well worth a second visit.

Played as part of a tour [Torrequebrada, Monte Mayor,Rio Real, El Pariso & La Cala] and voted the best of the week by us all. We first played this course 3 years ago and had forgotten how good it was.

Good layout, large greens that are fast but not ridiculous and fairways that are even. It's not the most challenging of courses but consequently it gives everyone a chance to score reasonably well. Clubhouse is friendly with good service.

I would definately suggest buggies [cart path only] as it's hilly in places and there are some long walks between greens and tees.

Will definately be back.

Best of four courses just played on Costa Del Sol.

Played a twighlight for 40 euros to keep down the now ridiculous charges in the area. Beautiful course but if you've got dodgy knees don't make the mistake I made of pulling a trolley - it's very uphill on the front nine and very downhill on the back.
