A guide to playing a round
(of golf!) on the alternative Costa del Sol
Like Gin & Tonic the game of Golf and the Costa del Sol are a marriage made in heaven.
Ask almost anyone who plays the game and there is every likelihood that they have hacked their
way around at least one of the many courses to be found on the western Costa del Sol.
But the chances are they haven't played the Axarquia courses.
The main reason for that being until recently there wasn't a single course between Malaga
and Motril.
However there are now two courses between Malaga and Nerja with more planned and although they may not be as
prestigious as some of their west end counterparts the courses in the Axarquia offer a competitive challenge
to even the most discerning player.
If you would like to come and stay in the area and play a round or two on our courses then check out the superb selection of rental accommodation we offer on our
accommodation page.
Añoreta Golf
The Añoreta Course located at km 258 close to Rincón de la Victoria opened in 1990 and
was designed by the European tour professional José Mariá Cañizares. Situated between the
mountains and the sea the 5,673 metre par 72 course can be described as Parkland in style.
Mature trees and shrubs line many of the holes, however it is water that is the main feature. Not
only are you afforded some splendid views of the Mediterranean particularly from the Par 4 seventh
but water of the fresh kind forms a hazard at 11 of the 18 holes on the course. Notably the
Par three 17th where the green is surrounded on three sides by water making its mere 168 metres
suddenly seem none too few.
