Santa Maria Golf Course
18 holes 5586 Metres Par 70.
Location:- Costa del Sol
Santa Maria’s first nine holes were designed by Antonio
Garcia Garrido, with the second nine, designed by the club's technical
staff. The course opened in 1996, and has now matured into one of
the finest along the coast.
Santa Maria golf course is located in a setting of incomparable
natural beauty, set back in the mountains of Andalusia. It runs
through two valleys, with great views of the Mediterranean, in one
of the most densely wooded areas of the municipality.
Becoming more popular each year, the golf course offers an interesting
layout with many elevated tees, lush fairways, undulating terrain
and well placed bunkers.
The 7th hole is one of the most beautiful on the course. A long
par-3, downhill, with lateral water to the right. The fairway is
large, and the green is very well protected by three bunkers. The
two tiered green makes this one even more difficult.
The 14th also begins with a very high tee, flanks a lake and ends
up at a green with a waterfall to the right. The course is surrounded
by numerous apartment buildings, but this does not detract from
its beauty. It also has two practice golf courses, three putting
greens and five short holes.
Santa Maria offers players a challenging game with a view of both
the mountains and the Mediterranean. Amenities include the 19th-century
clubhouse, restaurant with terrace, bars, lounges and snooker room.
There are also tennis courts, swimming pool and a lawn bowls club
on the club's grounds.
Buggies recommended. |
