La Hacienda Heathland
Overview
Play golf at the Heathland Course, an 18-hole, par-72 championship course at La Hacienda Links Golf Resort in San Roque, Spain’s Costa del Sol. Designed by Dave Thomas, a former Ryder Cup player, the course opened in 2007. Stretching up to 6,373 metres from the back tees, it provides a fair challenge for golfers of all skill levels and rewards careful play.
La Hacienda Heathland – Layout Blending Plateaus and Valleys
The Heathland Course sits on varied Andalusian terrain, alternating between elevated plateaus with Mediterranean views and inland valleys with large lakes.
Holes on the plateaus provide classic heathland character with views of the Mediterranean Sea and nearby landmarks.
In the valleys, narrower fairways and water hazards demand accuracy off the tee and precise approach shots. This makes each round interesting and uses every club in the bag.
The varied topography, along with sloping greens and strategically placed bunkers, encourages strategy over sheer distance. Recent improvements to the tees, greens, and landscaping ensure excellent playing conditions.
Signature Holes and Challenges
Signature holes highlight the course’s beauty and challenge.
Plateau sections reward bold yet controlled drives with scenic backdrops. The valley holes test decision-making around water hazards and tighter landing areas.

The course makes good use of the terrain while presenting consistent challenges. It is a favourite for those seeking both enjoyment and competitive play.
