Found just outside of Marbella, the club is in a great location for anyone staying in the popular beachside town, making it ideal for those considering a tour in the Costa del Sol. Like many of the other epic courses in the area, Higueron Marbella Golf Resort has become a fan-favourite, once you play it, you’re sure to return.

Golf Course

From the tips, the course is 6,411 yards, which by today’s standards is relatively modest, but the subtle design formulated by RTJ serves up both fantastic entertainment and a stern challenge. Bordered by banks of indigenous bushes and scrub, the fairways twist and turn, demanding accurate driving and precision approach play.

Trent Jones’ creation is much loved by regular visitors to Marbella, and the town’s golf and country club remains among the most desirable golf holiday options along the Costa Del Sol.

Unfortunately the four ahead were playing Texas scramble which was fairly antisocial. So a slow round. The first nine (tight) contrasts with the more open second nine. What views and highly enjoyable. At 58 euros it is remarkably good value for money. Nice restaurant and view from it.

Hard front 9-easier back.Front 9 really needs good golf-and golfers.Could dispirit high handicappers but overall a good experience and nothing wrong with course.Marshalls were a bit weird-on our backs when we still had a four ball on tee about 180 yards away -problem was in front of us by 2 balls(where they had lost 2 holes)-so they were taking easy option rather than dealing with problem.But overall good experience

Don't b e fooled by the view from the clubhouse. The first nine are up and down hills and through valleys. A couple of the holes are so high and back you cannot see the drop zone. Back nine are incredibly picturesque. If you use the webcam on the website on the left you are looking at the par 3 10th and the right the 18th.

The front nine was extremely challenging, with no need for a driver, just plot your way round tricky and quirky nine holes you’ll find hard to beat. The back nine is far more open but the quality and surroundings match the dramatic scenery of the front nine. All aspects are five star including the clubhouse and staff.

A very tough Golf Course which we played with some tricky strong winds. Clubhouse facilities were good but the only Course we played that didn’t have GPS built into the buggies. On some very undulating holes it was tough to work out yardages for club selection which slowed down play for sure. The GPS gives a much quicker guide to distance/layups etc. By far the most intensely sculpted golf course I have played with some impressive holes. Has the similar feel of Aphrodite Hills in Cyprus but not quite as polished. Greens were quick, contoured and better on the back 9. Another great finishing hole leading up to the green overlooked by a terrace. One to say you have played.

The course was in poor condition which was highlighted by the staff, especially the tee boxes. However my biggest compliant was the tee off time, I questioned the tee off time with you before we left and you convinced me that we would get the round in. However when arriving at the course we was informed that we would be unable to finish our round as the course closed at 8 oclock. Also all the facilities was closed with a pick up at 9pm, so I had to phone the transfer company to see if the transfer could come early, this was also our end of trip presentation event, which was conducted in the dark outside. I was not happy with whole experience at this golf course.

Course was a little scabby on day 1, greens were woolly and holes had not been changed for some time. Holes changed for day 2. Two very different 9's, first 9 very tight, second more foregiving but a couple of silly holes including a 215yd par 4. Course felt short all round. Definately needed buggies. Some areas of the course had been overwatered and had casual water.

The first four holes will take you by surprise after which the course settles into a more consistent layout. Some lovely designed holes. The greens were on the slow side and a bit grass variety but they run pure. First time playing so think it will be easier with greater familiarity. Club house was high quality and the staff friendly. Drinks expensive

A great course to finish with and play on the way back to the airport due to great facilities - have bag storage area, you can take a shower and also a full size snooker table in the bar. Course difficulty I would say is average. They supplied safe deposit boxes in buggies as common with a lot of the courses in Marbella area there was potential for items to be pinched from the buggy where they are parked out of your eye line on tee's and greens. Thankfully we didn't have anything taken - but had to be on your guard and meant you couldn't fully relax.

Had an absolutely terrible time at Marbella golf and country (after we eventually got here!) not sure how our transfers can send us to the wrong course - good thing we checked when we tried to sign in otherwise that would have been another hour wasted looking for a taxi. 3 hours for the front 9 waiting on every single shot. We walked in after 9 as it was just ridiculous. Have complained to Yourgolftravel and Alex Mook who booked our trip and have heard nothing back. As always when you’re booking something they’re on the phone non-stop but as as soon as you have an issue they go awol. Never happened on any of the golf trips I’ve organised in the past and very very disappointed in our treatment from Yourgolftravel and lack of response.
