La Quinta Golf & Country Club

There are three 9-hole loops at La Quinta, with the ‘tournament routing’ taking in the San Pedro and Guadaiza layouts. It’s been a regular host of Ladies European Tour events as well as prestigious Senior competitions, with quick greens and cavernous bunkers creating a real test for golfers of all abilities. The other 9-holes here ‘Ronda’ is slightly shorter, although as you’d expect, places a higher premium on accuracy from the tee.

Golfers looking for the full Golfbreaks experience can also book a stay & play package at the on-site Westin La Quinta Resort. This is one of our favourite resorts in Marbella and offers five-star opulence from start to finish!
