Address: KM 3.7, Carreterra de Benahavís, 29679, Benahavís, Marbella
Tucked into the hills of Benahavís, just 20 minutes from central Marbella, this private course offers a quiet escape with views that hit hard—Gibraltar to one side, North Africa on the other. Designed by Ryder Cup legend Dave Thomas, the course runs over 6,000 meters of contoured fairways, fast greens, and just the right amount of challenge. It’s a high-spec layout with real character, built to match the legacy of the iconic Marbella Club Hotel.
The course opens strong and stays sharp—three consecutive par 5s early on keep you focused, and the final hole is a dramatic, elevated par 5 with coastline views that distract in the best way. Bermuda 419 grass, advanced irrigation, and smart bunkering make it playable all year with no compromise on quality. For those who like their golf with a side of glamour, this one’s hard to beat.
