Golf in Benalmadena

MAIA enjoys a very favourable central location, with Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Marbella, Mijas and Málaga all close by. Right on your doorstep you’ll find the beaches and golf courses of the Benalmádena area.

This central part of the Costa del Sol is rich in golfing opportunities, including professional coaching, equipment hire, driving ranges and, of course, the restaurant, leisure, gym and spa facilities offered by the clubhouses.

Golf is so popular on the Costa del Sol — sometimes nicknamed the “Costa del Golf” thanks to the more than 70 courses spread across the region — because it’s not only a healthy way to stay active while surrounded by spectacular scenery and views, but also a highly social sport. Most clubhouses provide a stylish focal point where local communities come together.

This is especially true for international residents and second-home owners, for whom golf forms an integral part of their social life in Spain. While beginners may take a little time to get into the swing of it, it’s easy to become hooked on a sport that keeps your heart, mind and concentration sharp — and often ends with a relaxed gathering after the game.

Featuring excellent pitch-and-putt facilities, this 9-hole, par-3 course opened in 2005 and offers a full range of amenities, including conference rooms, a pro shop, equipment hire, a pleasant restaurant and a professionally run academy with a two-storey driving range. Ideal for beginners, the course also suits experienced players — especially those looking to practise their short game while enjoying spectacular sea, lake and waterfall views.

Torrequebrada Golf

This beautiful, gently undulating 18-hole golf course, designed by José Gancedo, was inaugurated in 1976 in a wonderful setting between the sea and the mountains.

A long-time host of major competitions, Torrequebrada is also a vibrant members’ club.

Bil Bil Golf

This enjoyable 18-hole pitch-and-putt course belongs to another very sociable club, with excellent leisure facilities and a lively calendar of amateur tournaments. The views are inspiring and the course is well maintained and engaging to play.
