About the Golf Course

The Real Club de Golf Guadalmina features two 18-hole golf courses, the North and the South. 

The South course, which is the oldest course that is renowned for its difficulty, was designed by Javier Arana and opened in 1959. Guadalmina Sur is renowned for its challenging and demanding nature, making it an ideal course for experienced golfers. The fairways of Guadalmina Sur are narrow and well-protected by large trees, which not only provide welcome shade during the summer months, but also require players to shape their shots carefully. Additionally, the fast and undulating greens present a further challenge to golfers.

The North course, designed by Folco Nardi, opened in 1973. Compared to the south course, the north course is shorter and characterized by more hilly terrain and numerous water obstacles. To succeed on the course, golfers must execute straight drives down the center of the fairways. Any deviation from the ideal shot may result in landing in one of the many water hazards that are artfully hidden in the rough.

In addition to its pair of full-scale 18-hole golf courses, the Guadalmina complex also boasts a delightful par 3 nine-hole course. It’s called the Pitch & Putt and it’s a perfect course to have a quick play compared to the longer courses of 18-holes.

Number of holes

The Real Club de Golf Guadalmina features 36 holes. The North course has 18 holes and the South course also has 18 holes.
