Tramores Golf Course
Overview
Tramores Golf Course at Villa Padierna Golf Club is a short, fun golf course on Spain’s Costa del Sol. Designed by Antonio García and opened in 2009, this 18-hole, par-63 course is 3,468 metres long. It’s the only one of its kind in the area.
Set between two valleys in Benahavís, near Marbella, the course lets you play a quick round in about three hours and gives you beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea from almost every hole.
Course Layout & Design
The course fits naturally into the mountainous terrain. Built on the hillside, it has a good mix of holes: multiple par-3s, several par-4s, and one par-5. There are water hazards and bunkers that add interest without making the course too hard or too long.
The design prioritises accuracy and finesse rather than strength, making Tramores Golf Course at Villa Padierna Golf Club a great place to practice short shots, learn the game, or play a quick round if you are short on time. All golfers are welcome, as there are no handicap limits.
Course Challenges
The course can be hard because of its narrow fairways, fast greens, and the need for careful shots to reach the green. Even though it is friendly to all players, you need to think about your shots—missing can mean losing a ball in the rough. Golfers often say it is “challenging but fair” and a fun place to practice without spending too much time on the course.
Signature Holes
Signature holes elevate the experience. The 10th hole offers multiple tee-shot options, leading to a second shot that tests decision-making and execution. The 18th hole ends the game with a first shot that you will remember. These highlights, alongside numerous photo-worthy par-3s, create memorable moments for golfers looking for a memorable round near Marbella.
