Lauro Golf

Lauro Golf is a cracking Costa del Sol option if you want mountain views, a relaxed resort feel and plenty of golf to go at. Set in the Málaga countryside, the property is built around mature oak trees and has benefited from a long-running planting programme, so it feels established and green from the first tee.

The big selling point is the flexible 27-hole layout. You've got three nine-hole loops, which means your group can mix and match different 18-hole combinations across a long weekend, ideal for societies and mixed-ability trips. Expect rolling terrain and plenty of elevation change, with generous fairways that let you swing freely, then greens that ask for a bit of thought on approach. Play it safe and you'll get round comfortably, take on the riskier lines and you'll set up better chances. The course plays well for mid-to-high handicappers, with multiple tee positions allowing everyone in the fourball to find the right challenge.

Location-wise, Lauro is a smart base for a sunshine break. You're within easy reach of Málaga Airport for a straightforward transfer and you've got plenty of other Costa del Sol courses to bolt on if you fancy variety. Add reliable year-round weather, good practice facilities and a welcoming clubhouse and you've got an easy, sociable venue that works brilliantly for groups.
