MARBELLA GOLF VALLEY

LOS NARANJOS GOLF CLUB

CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE IN MARBELLA

Opened in 1977, Los Naranjos offers golfers a richly multicultural welcome, with a distinctly Nordic touch. It is one of an elite group of courses on the Costa del Sol designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones, and subsequent upgrades have maintained the essence of his classic original layout while adding major improvements.

The course extends over 70 hectares of superb golfing land, including an orange grove that gave it its name. Trent Jones’ remit was to create a top championship course suitable for players of all levels, and he achieved that to perfection.

In 1989, Severiano Ballesteros was beaten by José Rivero on the first hole of sudden-death in a play-off for the Spanish PGA Championship title, while one year earlier the club hosted the Marbella Ladies Open. Its Ladies European Tour history will come full circle from 25 to 28 November 2021 when it is the venue for the Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España.

ROYAL LAS BRISAS CLUB

IMMACULATE MARBELLA COURSE WITH A VENERABLE HISTORY

Apart from Valderrama, no other club on the Costa del Sol has had as stellar an international tournament history as Royal Las Brisas. In 1973, at the time still known as “Nueva Andalucia”, the club hosted a memorable World Cup eventually won by the United States pairing of Jack Nicklaus and Johnny Miller. Later, in 1989, the re-named Las Brisas was the venue for a second World Cup, where Australia’s Wayne Grady and Peter Fowler triumphed. Another historic highlight was the 1987 Spanish Open (on the European Tour), which Nick Faldo won just months before becoming British Open champion for the first time.

In recent years, Las Brisas has undergone a major upgrade – of both the course and the club’s other top-class amenities – to consolidate its objective of being “the private club of choice for those who appreciate an exceptional golf experience in a relaxing social environment”.

ALOHA GOLF CLUB

GATEWAY TO MARBELLA’S GOLF VALLEY

Since its inauguration in 1975, Aloha has become established as a social and sporting haven for golfers from around the world. It is a private members club but also welcomes green-paying visitors at certain times.

Those who book a tee time will find one of the Costa del Sol’s most cordial and cosmopolitan golf clubs, with a pleasant and active social atmosphere. They will also be stepping out onto a meticulously maintained course that was designed by the renowned Spanish architect Javier Arana, who sadly didn’t live to see his creation open for play, but whose legacy remains preserved in its vividly colourful natural surroundings.

As befits a course of its exceptional design pedigree, Aloha has hosted numerous major tournaments over the decades, including both men’s and women’s European Tour events. One memorable highlight was the 2007 Open de Andalucia won by Lee Westwood, who set the course record of 64 and later went on to become number one in the world.
