Today we drove about an hour north to Marbella. It doesn’t get light here in the mornings until about 8am – I am finding this quite strange. We had an 8.50am tee time so we got there in time to hit some balls to warm up. I had read on Trip Advisor that the course was one of two very distinct nines.

The first nine was very tight with lots of ravines and scrub – a bit of a trick golf course as Steve called it. The second nine was a lot more open. It was up and down as is the natural terrain in this part of the country. We had nice views down to Marbella and the Mediterranean – it was another blue sky day in paradise.

It was an OK course for our first game of many I am sure.

The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior and opened in 1994.
