The two distinct nines offer a considerable challenge, but La Caňada is not so difficult that the spectacular views of the Mediterranean coast will be spoiled. Undulating fairways and fast, sloping greens are characteristic of the course which is bordered by banks of amazing indigenous trees.
Being designed for the passionate local golfers, La Caňada is a genuine test of golf with a no-frills attitude, but the pure test of golf attracts visitors back again and again.

There were no locker rooms, no buggy bar and no half way house. We were paired up with a 4th player. The condition of the course was poor with very slow play particlarly at the end where there are two very difficult holes across thick vegetation and a ravine. Not recommended.

This is a very basic public course and it showed. Buggy’s were in poor condition the course looked tatty and it was packed with players. Very much felt like we had turned up at a local member’s club and just got fit in between for some green fees. I wouldn’t say don’t play it I would say it’s the course you play after a heavy night before as you won’t be to concerned if you missed it.

A nice course, good range but a dated clubhouse

Few greens and tee areas need attention, people need to repair divots and rake bunkers

The actual golf course was in fantastic condition not a blade of grass out of place, just the facilities was very old and dated the club house from exterior was not too bad but they definitely need to modernise it, its a shame because it was a lovely course, the toilets/changing rooms have not been changed since they built it in 1982.

A lovely course with some testing holes. The fairways and greens were in great condition and the staff were very nice and accommodated us as there had been a mix up with our booking and times. The clubhouse was very comfortable and good value for drinks and food.

This course and the lady in the pro shop are the reason we will not use your golf travel again, on arrival there was no one about to tell us where to go, the pro shop and buildings all around resembled a council run course in England, we play our six players in two threes and four buggies each day which is how our personal comp between us works, we were told we only had to pay for three buggies as another couple were joining us , I explained to the lady that’s not what we wanted and her reply was well that’s what’s happening, her tone and attitude was very unprofessional, I tried to call your golf travel to try and sort our problem out but no answer and no response to the option of leave a message and we’ll get in touch, we played the course and had a beer sat on dirty white plastic chairs and ordered poor quality food, if you sent someone out to see the quality of staff in the pro shop I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t send groups of golfers to play here, especially after the standard of the other two courses

Very good course with good variety and some challenging holes, particularly 17 & 18 . 8 minute teetime interval a little demanding .

Good course presented in excellent condition. All holes are different. Great service from pro-shop and bar. Would definitely go back. A long walk without a buggy.

This course is a must for us every year, great value, great layout and reasonably priced. La Canada can be walked but buggy is favourable. The final 2 holes will test the nerves of most golfers, especially if your match is close. Love this course.

Considering this is a municipal course, it was in excellent condition. The fairways were amongst the best I've ever played on. Very good value for money.
