Flamingos golf club was the first golf course to be built at the resort and contains some truly stunning views out over the Mediterranean, reaching even as far as Africa. An 18 hole par 71 parkland course  which measures 6,285 yards was designed by renowned architect Antonia Garcia Garrido. Featuring elevated tees, fast greens and narrow fairways especially on the first half of the course with many varieties of trees to line the fairways. This course has payed host to the European Seniors 3 times and also the Womens Spanish Open in 2010.

Alferini golf club is another wonderful design by Antonia Garcia Garrido, this time creating a much longer golf course - an 18 hole par 73 parkland course stretching up to 7,260 yards. With much longer fairways and wider greens requiring a different though equally measured style of approach.The views offered on this golf course are also sublime, situated in a valley cascaded by a mountainous backdrop. In 2015 this course was awarded the honour of hosting the Solheim Cup.

Atalaya has both an Old and a New course to choose from. The Old course is an 18 hole par 72 layout measuring 6,716 yards with gentle fairways and large greens. Danger awaits for those who are unable to find the fairway however. The New course provides a stark alternative, an 18 hole par 67 course measuring 5,823 yards which is known to offer some stunning views during your round of golf. Though the New course is much shorter than the Old it has been designed in such a way to still provide a fun but challenging round of golf.

Los Arqueros golf course is a spectacular winding course that will test your skills throughout your round whilst offering amazing views over Marbella, the surrounding mountains and out towards the Mediterranean coast. Accuracy is more important than length around this Seve Ballesteros design, you can expect to see water hazards, some tight fairways and pristine greens.Los Arqueros is an 18 hole par 71, parkland course which opened for play in 1991 and measures 6,198 yards from the white tees.
