Welcome round courseReal Guadalhorce Club de Golf: the course and homes for sale nearby
An 18-hole, par-72 course in the Guadalhorce valley at Campanillas, in the municipality of Málaga, with no buildings around it and easy walking. Kosti Kuronen designed the original layout and Miguel Ángel Jiménez redesigned it in 2007; a separate 9-hole par-3 course sits beside it. The club has a Finnish chapter too: the Rastas group joined in 1987 and funded the extension to 18 holes.

The course
The course lies on open land in the middle of the Guadalhorce valley, among citrus groves near the river, and comes in two distinct halves. The front nine is shorter and more technical, English parkland in style over gentle slopes, with only two real climbs, at the 1st and 5th. The back nine is longer and flatter, with raised greens and water on the 10th, 11th, 14th, 16th and 17th.
Miguel Ángel Jiménez, an honorary member, reworked the course in 2007, and the club is proudest of its greens, striking in design and size. The 9-hole par-3 course beside it is very flat, with greens set around two lakes, and doubles as a pitch-and-putt route.
Playing it
This is a private members' club, but visitors can book weekday mornings. It is long for a par 72 and some holes need length, but with wide, open fairways players tend to find it a fair challenge for most handicaps. It is easy to walk – the club says so and walking players agree – and buggies can be hired.
Reviewers repeatedly praise the condition, especially the quick greens, and the friendly staff. The criticism is milder: some find parts of the layout plain, and aircraft noise is noticeable, since the course sits near one end of the runway.
There is a driving range, a pro shop and a restaurant with a large terrace in the clubhouse, the Cortijo Colmenares with its own neo-Gothic chapel; the restaurant is run by Bodegas Campos, a Córdoba house founded in 1908. In 2024 and 2025 the club hosted the Ladies European Tour's season finale, the Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España. Spring and autumn are the most popular seasons; in summer, an early tee time is cooler.
Living nearby
The club is in Campanillas, Málaga's north-western district, north of the airport. Campanillas is also home to the Málaga TechPark, and the city centre, the airport and the coast at Torremolinos are a short drive away.
Homes for sale near the course are mostly apartments in Campanillas and the city, with some townhouses and detached villas and a few rural fincas. It is a quieter, more local setting than the resort coast, and the club is family-minded, with a kids' club and summer camps.
We work only for buyers, and before each viewing we check how far the home is from the course in practice.
