Torremolinos Golf Golf in Torremolinos and throughout the Costa del Sol is a major industry. This part of Spain boasts perhaps the highest concentration of high quality golf courses in Europe. Mild weather and warm winters are the main reason why the sport took off here; and with increased popularity in the game many visiting golfers (including well known professionals) use the Costa del Sol as their winter training ground. There are a multitude of golf courses within reach of Torremolinos, in this section we link to some of the closer options.
The internationally acclaimed Alhaurin Golf first opened for business in 1993 and is made up of 3 courses; an 18 hole championship course, a 9 hole offering, and an 18 hole children's course. Located in the mountains behind Mijas. The Real Club de Campo de Torremolinos golf course (known as "The Parador") is the oldest in the province of Andalucia; first opening its doors in 1925. A par 70 course made up of 18 holes, it measures a total of 6,836 metres. Lauro Golf opened in 1992 as an 18 hole par 72 parkland course. It has since had another 9 hole course added. The course is located just a few kilometres from Mijas, although it is actually closer to the town of Alhaurin el Grande. Torrequebrada Golf first opened in 1976, and designed by Spain's most famous golf architect Pepe Gancedo, quickly became a firm favourite. An 18 hole par 72 course, Torrequebrada measures 5806 metres and is not to be missed.
The vast majority of courses do not allow booking more than 7 days in advance (unless booking in large groups), preferring to capitalise on the income created by short term visitors. However due to demand, short term booking is almost always necessary and those turning up on the day expecting to play may find themselves disappointed. Do contact the corresponding clubhouse in advance to be certain before turning up.
