Santana's location between La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola gives golfers the chance to enjoy amazing views of the Mijas mountains whilst enjoying the terrific golf course, set beautifully within the groves of orange and avocado plantations.
Cabell B. Robinson, known for his meticulous design approach, carefully crafted the course to integrate the natural landscape, creating a unique golfing experience that blends nature and golf seamlessly.

0800 043 6644The course itself was designed by American architect Cabell B. Robinson, whose trademark can also be seen at the nearby La Cala resort, and is an excellent parkland track. Santana measures just short of 7,000 yards from the back tees, and the main difficulty is in avoiding the strategically positioned sand traps, which are filled with sand produced from crushed marble.
The outstanding natural beauty of the surroundings may well be the predominant characteristic here, but the golf course should certainly not be underestimated; each hole is designed to be distinct, and the emphasis is on sound course management and prudent strategy.
There may not be a single signature hole, but notable challenges include the monstrous 650-yard 8th, while the favourite hole of the designer himself is the closing hole, an exacting par-4 that is bordered by a lake all down the right hand side.
The fantastic quality of the layout, all encapsulated in an astounding natural environment, makes Santana a great choice during your golf holiday in the Marbella area.

Sadly my wife had her bag stolen on the course. However we enjoyed the course which was relatively flat.The greens were very fast ( maybe 11 or 12). Staff were very helpful allowing us to phone U.K. to cancel cards etc.

The first hole is a bit bland, also you do have a few holes that are up and down which make it more boring than the others we played. However if you think this course is easy, think again as the Greens are Brutal, undulating, various levels and very quick. 3 Putting is not unusual, even for the better Golfers.

The course was exactly as I remember it, beautiful course, amazing greens and a great challenge to your golf game. The play was pretty slow because there seemed to be too many on the course. The process in the clubhouse were pretty high for some of the drinks, I had a small "chupitto" of rum, too go with my coffee, and they charged me €4.50 which is crazy. The clubhouse changing rooms and toilets had not been cleaned and they smelled pretty bad. It looked tired as if they have not put any money into it for quite a while. Still, the course is phenomenal
