Nueva Andalucía golf courses

Four championship courses packed into a 3.5 km radius form Nueva Andalucía’s “Golf Valley,” laid out between 1964 and 1990 by noted designers like Robert Trent Jones Sr. (Las Brisas) and Javier Arana (Aloha). Expect orange-fringed fairways at Los Naranjos, elevated greens staring at La Concha, and light sea breezes that drift up from the Med—subtle elevation changes, shifting winds, real course management. From Puerto Banús: 8 minutes to Aloha, 10 to Las Brisas, 12 to Los Naranjos, 14 to La Quinta. Early tee times avoid Sierra Blanca casting shade across late-morning greens.

Your Mercedes driver collects you at the marina or Benabola Hotel, sorts bags in the boot, and drops you at the clubhouse while staying on standby for a four-hour round. From there, it’s your call: lunch at The Social at Los Naranjos, a quick roll on Las Brisas’ putting green, or a smooth ride back to your villa in La Cerquilla. The plan flexes if a 1:20 pm slot opens at Aloha, and a cooled onboard stash keeps water ready between holes.
