La Duquesa Golf Club

Designed by Robert Trent Jones and established in 1985, La Duquesa winds round El Hacho beacon hill with magnificent views over the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and to Africa. 18 holes and entertaining fairways will allow you to enjoy rounds of golf reserved for players who enjoy the sun and Mediterranean breezes. Spectacular tees from which you can see the African continent and neighbouring Marbella.

The first 9 holes are of a certain "english style" with narrow fairways and high greens. Particularly beautiful is hole 4 for its magnificent views, but it can also easily give you trouble for your score card. The second nine are easier with wide fairways, although the greens will supply additional difficulties. Teeing off from the 17th hole will convince you that there are very few courses in which nature and design merge so beautifully.

The Club has a wide practice area, which includes a driving range, which can hold up to 20 positions, a putting-green in the short play practice area, and a pitching-green. In addition to playing golf, fans of other sports such as tennis, swimming, etc will be able to enjoy them in our top quality facilities.

In the Clubhouse you will be able to enjoy the exquisite dishes offered by the Restaurant, rest or read in the television room, play a game of billiards, or relax in the Spa having a massage, sauna, Jacuzzi or Turkish bath.
