COURSE DESCRIPTION
Designed by Javier Arana, Guadalmina South is the second oldest course on the Costa del Sol (inaugurated in 1959) and the first 18-hole layout at this renowned Marbella club. The fairways meander between long-standing trees, are quite wide and have hardly any rough. Guadalmina South underwent a major remodelling in 2002 that virtually transformed it into a new course, including a computerised irrigation system, new tees, reconstruction of the greens and renewal of the fairway grass.
