Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club
Overview
Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club is a top-notch golf spot on Spain’s Costa del Sol. Designed by Seve Ballesteros, this 18-hole course is a par 71 and fits perfectly into the landscape of Andalusia. Since it opened in 1991, it has been just a short drive from Marbella. Golfers can enjoy views of the Mediterranean Sea and the nearby mountains while they play.
Course Layout
Los Arqueros measures 5,700 meters from the back tees. While it may not seem long compared to many modern courses, don’t be misled. This course is all about precision rather than power. Designed by Ballesteros, it uses the land cleverly. Players must think carefully and make accurate shots. The fairways are narrow, the ground is hilly, and the greens are well-protected. This means you need to stay focused and plan your moves for each hole.
Standout Holes
The 13th hole is a true standout—a short par 4 that tempts big hitters to go for the green in one. Risk-reward strategy comes into play, as water and bunkers guard the approach. The 8th is another gem, a par 5 where elevation changes and tight landing zones test your control off the tee. Throughout the course, elevation shifts and clever doglegs add complexity without feeling contrived.
Facilities
Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club has everything a golfer could want. The clubhouse is modern and features a pro shop, large locker rooms, and a restaurant with a great view of the course from its terrace. For practice, there’s a driving range, a putting green, and a short game area, making it easy to warm up or take lessons with a PGA professional.
Tournaments
This golf course is known for being a great place to play. It has many regional tournaments. Both professional and amateur golfers appreciate the course for its fairness and how enjoyable it is to play.
