5 kilometres from Marbella is Calanova Golf Club; an 18-hole, par-72 of 5.866 metres long and has been built according to USGA rules and regulations.
It includes amazing views, including Mediterranean Sea and Mijas Mountains at almost every hole. What Calanova really pride themselves on though is hospitality, putting the golfer at the heart of their ethos.
Set beside the Mediterranean Sea, the Villa Padierna Golf Resort enjoys an beautiful atmosphere with state of the art facilities and a personalised service.

The Marbella Club Golf Resort has a simple but stylish design, and the stunning 18 hole course was designed by Dave Thomas.
It’s based in the hills of Benahavis in the heart of the Costa del Sol, and boosts spectacular views of Gibraltar, the Coast of Africa, the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding mountains. It avoids overcrowding with limited play and twelve minutes between tee times, so it’s a relaxing game.
Situated between La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola, Santana Golf Course and Country Club lies right next to the Mediterranean sea with breathtaking views of the Mijas mountains.
The course is set in 138 acres of picturesque parkland, formerly an avocado plantation. It was sympathetically designed by the architect Cabell B. Robinson who aimed to provide a natural solution to any problems. The result is wide and well-defined fairways on easy to walk terrain with water features to compliment the views.
