Cabopino Golf Club Marbella

18 Holes 5170 Metres Par 71

Opened in 2001 and designed by Juan Ligues Crevs, Cabopino Golf Club is situated almost halfway between Marbella and Fuengirola, and offers stunningly spectacular views of the coast.

The best way to describe this course would be short but sweet, because this course offers three Par-3's, two Par-5's and thirteen Par-4's.

The course also offers a stiff challenge for high handicap players who will be rewarded, as you will be able to use all your clubs in the bag. The low handicappers will have to take risks if they want good results. The greens are large with some with platforms and are always in excellent condition.

The signature hole must be the 3rd (288m par 4). It is quite breath taking, with the tee box cut into the cliff face, the fairway is almost 200m below with an elevated green protected by a large front bunker. This hole is defiantly driveable from this elevation and you should make birdie with ease.

Hole 5 (378m par 4) is the most difficult hole on the course, and justifies its stroke index 1. The fairway is very narrow with lateral water from tee to green on the right, and out of bounds on the left. Play this hole safe, keep the driver in the bag, play two mid-irons and a wedge and you will save par.

Two more standout holes are the 14th and 15th: par 5 and 3 respectively, where water comes into play and a par score is more than acceptable. Each hole is completely different and offers its own individual challenges.

Cabopino Golf is becoming one of the most sought after and most popular courses in the area around Marbella.
