Golf Courses

Anoreta

Opened in 1990 and located near the town of Rincón de la Victoria, Añoreta was the first golf course designed in the Axarquia region and offers a real challenge to golfers of all abilities.

Designed by the famous Ryder Cup player, José María Cañizares the course design incorporates the natural surroundings of the area featuring many trees and water, which accentuates the course’s natural beauty.

Due to the location here on the Mediterranean, the subtropical climate makes it great to play year round and ideal for a golf trip to spain. The course also offers some of the most stunning panoramic sea and coastal views from a number of its holes, including the spectacular 7th hole.

Two of the most popular holes on the course include the challenging par three seventeenth, which is surrounded by a large lake and the 18th hole, which is a stunning golf hole surrounded by natural vegetation and water. In fact, water comes into play on no less than 11 of the holes.

Lauro

Lauro golf is a cracking course and one of the most popular golf courses in Malaga.

You will find Lauro Golf surrounded by spectacular nature. The course has 27 holes that can be played in three different combinations, all of par 72.

The picture above, the 27th, for me is the best hole at Lauro 513 meters par 5 looking down over the whole course, Guadalhorce Valley, the port of Malaga and the Mediterranean sea.

Don’t lose your drive to the right here or you will have one less ball in your bag and the boys that fish them out will have one more!!.

Lauro golf has a vast array of wildlife, rabbits, ducks, partridges, herons and even eagles on and around the golf course. Plus turtles, frogs and fish in their 14 lakes.

The clubhouse at Lauro is in the style of an old Andalusian Cortijo. It has great facility’s, restaurant, changing and locker rooms, pro shop and a lovely terrace for a beer after your round.

Lauro golf also has a swimming pool, padel tennis courts, lawn bowls and an equestrian center.

Hole 1 is a very easy start, long iron of the tee carrying over the lake and then an easy wedge to the large elevated green.

Hole 2, a par 3 of 132 metres is a very easy hole, with bunkers left and right of the very large green with a bank to the right and rear that will kick your ball onto the putting surface.

Hole 4 is a par 3 where you may find it difficult to reach the green in one shot as the green is greatly elevated from the tee.

If you are a big hitter the 9 and 18 have lakes around 200 meters from the tee so a long iron or rescue maybe the choice here. Or if you are feeling heroic try and smash it straight over and onto the green. Best of luck!!.

Hole 13 is one of the hardest at Lauro Golf. It’s a par 5 measuring 573 metres. Out of bounds will be found down the right of the fairways and scrub-land and trees to the left.

Holes 19 to 27 are by far the easier 9 at Lauro with wide fairways, little water but it does play longer.

It starts with a par 5 of 470 metres off the whites 3 easy hits and you are on but watch the many bunkers surrounding the green.
