4 Nights, 3 Rounds
Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club sits in the Ronda Hills above Marbella, and if you're after a course that makes you think rather than just swing hard, this is a proper Costa del Sol favourite. Positioned handily between Málaga and Gibraltar, it was the first layout designed by legendary Spanish golfer Severiano Seve Ballesteros when he moved into architecture in 1991, and you can tell he built it with a player's brain.
At just over 6,200 yards, you won't beat Los Arqueros by simply hitting driver everywhere. Seve's design rewards strategy, sensible target selection and leaving yourself the right angle in. The greens are on the small side and not heavily bunkered, but they've got enough slope and tiering to turn a slightly-off approach into a nervy two-putt. If you're above the hole in the wrong section, you'll know about it.
The fairways roll through pine and cork oak and there's enough elevation change to make club choice interesting, especially if the wind is up. It's also a course where positioning matters, because the best line in often isn't the obvious one from the tee. And yes, you do get some cracking views across the valley towards the Med, which never hurts on a golf break.
Who is this for?
Golfers after a strategic, mid-length parkland test near Marbella with standout scenery and a Seve design on the scorecard.
Who is it best for?
Mid to low handicappers who enjoy plotting their way round, plus groups who want a quality Costa del Sol round that isn't just a driver-fest.

The tourist friendly, challenging and stunning course commands an enviable mountain setting and magnificent views over Andalusian hills and the Mediterranean. Located in Benahavís, only 5 km. from San Pedro de Alcántara and near beautiful Ronda, on the Ronda road.
Signature Hole: Hole 13, Par 5, 458 metres (501 yards), SI 6
Los Arqueros’ 13th deserves its status as signature hole not just for the challenge that it presents, but also for its magnificent scenery of ‘Mare Nostrum’. On clear days, it is even possible to see the coast of Africa and the Atlas Mountain Range. The golf is nothing short of spectacular either, and from an elevated tee the fairway starts off narrow, before it veers off to the right.
It is possible to attempt a ‘Seve’ in cutting the corner and going for the green in two. However, this is a dangerous approach and anything to the right of the green will result in a lost ball, while anything short will be swallowed up by the greenside bunker. A fade would suit this approach well, as the left side of the green is guarded by an uphill slope. A stunning golf hole, offering much in the way of risk-reward.

One of the hardest coarses we have played. Ok for low handicaps but no fun for high handicaps.

Mix up at the start by putting out two ball groups infront and behind our group of four, which was awkward. Greens were fast but needed some attention, the rest of the course was in great condition. Front nine very tough and very tight, back nine gradually opened up. The couple we played with were great company. Husband and wife from Norway. Might not play this course again due to the front nine and the greens conditions on some holes.

The views were amazing, the staff really friendly and clubhouse was nice! The only thing that let this course down was the greens. They weren’t in the best condition

Very difficult course but a beautiful setting. Everything aside from the greens was good condition. The greens are very patchy in places and could do with some work to restore condition. Club house was great and lovely food.
