Almenara Golf
One of the newest golf complexes on the Costa del Sol, Almenara boasts of 27 holes that are always in immaculate condition. The whole complex is a spectacular layout located near the Almenara hills amongst stunning surroundings with magnificent views.
Almenara was originally designed by Dave Thomas and the first eighteen holes were opened in 1998 and the latest nine added in 2001. The fairways run through cork oaks and wild pines accompanied by several meandering streams and natural lakes. The setting is one of the finest on the Costa del Sol and only 500 metres from Valderrama.
As for the course itself, the three nines are called Los Pinos, Los Alcornoques and Los Lagos. A mixture of the three make up course A (Los Pinos and Los Alcornoques), course B (Los Alcornoques and Los Lagos) and Course C (Los Lagos and Los Pinos) and these are rotated to ensure they are all kept in such immaculate condition and a pleasure to play. Each course is different with a mixture of undulating fairways, deep bunkers and several water hazards making this a challenge for even the most accomplished golfer. The opening of the third nine gives a nice mixture and balance of holes. On some holes you are winding your way through cork oaks and others negotiating the streams and lakes that always seem to come in to play. The greens are always in superb condition and it may take a while to judge the pace depending on the conditions. Almenara overlooks its counterparts in the area and this leads to several of the tees being elevated where you can admire the scenery. Sprinkler heads give you the distances to the middle of the green.
There are excellent facilities at Almenara with a superb practice area located nearby consisting of 27 driving bays which is the envy of many clubs. In this practice area there are three full-length holes to enjoy, chipping and putting greens as well practice bunkers. You can also have your swing analysed to see where you are going wrong or golf tuition either individually or in a group basis.
The clubhouse offers bar and restaurant facilities and the large terrace offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area that has to be seen to be believed. There is a well- stocked pro shop, ample parking and though you can easily walk, ample buggies available. The staff will always make you feel very welcome.
Almenara also has its own 5-star hotel and spa where you can live on the first tee and enjoy the best comfort and luxury that is available.
The Almenara School of Excellence boasts the most modern golf practice facilities in Southern Spain. With a simultaneous practice capacity of 90 players, 3 normal size practice holes, separate approach and putting areas, and a video studio for swing analysis, this is a highly sought-after centre
