The Real Guadalhorce Golf Course, 6194 meters in length and with large greens was designed by Miguel Ángel Jiménez and is considered a long par 72 golf course. It has two distinct parts: the front nine is of typical English “parkland” design without water that extends through gentle hills and level fairways that is easy to walk on a hot summer’s day. The fairways blend with the surroundings with only two uphill slopes, the 1st hole and 5th hole. The challenge of the front nine are the various out-of-bounds and the fast, large greens.
On the back nine the land has been sculptured to create raised greens and diversify the fairways. Water comes into play on the 10th, 11th, 14th, 16th and 17th holes and the large greens with some borrows difficult to read add to the difficulty of the second nine holes. The whole golf course has a great variety of trees, both native and some newly introduced, and several lakes.
Guadalhorce Golf Club is a long course which can be enjoyed by golfers of all levels.
The Real Guadalhorce Golf Club, located in Málaga, in the Costa del Sol, has undergone a number of renovations over the past several weeks to enhance the performance of its facilities.
Improvements to the 10th tee and the new entrance to the par 3 course are still in the works. The club is now reworking the men's tee 10, aligning and levelling it in preparation for sod installation.
Players will soon be able to enter the par-3 course from a different direction, eliminating the need for them to pass in front of tee 10.
On the other hand, to avoid major problems with the roots of the trees both on the tee and in the parking lot, it has been moved to hole 14, allowing the hole suffered after the flood last year to be filled in and secured.
For safety concerns, they have already finished the precise cutting of the eucalyptus trees in the children's section, and in the following weeks they will be renovating other parts of the golf course, such as tees 8 and 9 for the ladies.
As for the new putting green, the grass is growing as expected, and the club hopes to have it ready for use within the next month. Mulch has been installed in several areas (9th hole green, 8th hole tee, 7th hole green) to protect against erosion, thermal conservation, humidity regulation, etc.
Finally, it should be mentioned that after finishing the installation of photovoltaic panels, the Real Guadalhorce Golf Club has begun producing its own solar energy.
“Since the end of 2022, we have been busy at work renovating, upgrading, modernizing, and cleaning up the whole club's facilities. Our goal is to ensure that our Real Club runs smoothly at all times, and we are making steady progress towards this end. Although there is more work to be done, we are making progress”, said Real Guadalhorce Golf Club general manager Ignacio Sánchez.

Great course very well maintained. Greens are perfect but difficult to read. The front 9 is more hilly with various different holes. The back 9 is more boring, flat holes, and long. The main problem is the noise of the planes over the course wich is in line with the airport runways
