Lovely course with great facilities although green staff were rude and and wondered on to the green as we were teeing off then gave us a mouthful when we asked him to move ,they also carried on mowing the grass and generally making a racket when we were on the tee or taking a shot no thought of etiquette, if i had to complaint it would be that the bus could do with coming about 6.30 to allow the players in and get a drink,overall we had a fantastic time and will be doing it again,but maybe try a different place,not because we were not happy but just try a different country

I’d play this course again happily but the facilities were tired and it had the feel of a supermarket rather than a club. It was evident they were in the process of refurbishing the club house. The course itself was pretty impressive although there were quite a few areas where things were dumped or poorly maintained so it took away the feel of quality. And unfortunately there was a lot of development surrounding the course.

Great course. Same problem with the buggy scenario though. Was told we’d booked a 4 ball and a 2 ball and had to play with two other players. I disagreed and explained this was not how I booked with YGT and they told me nothing could be done. They also only offered us 3 buggies because of this. I requested we pay for an extra buggy and play as two balls and was told this wasn’t possible. It took me to personally speak to the starter and pay an extra charge for an additional buggy to play in the way we’d booked. Not very impressed as overall the trip cost us an additional 85 euro from what we expected. But the cheek of saying no additional buggies or changes could be made and soon as we offered to pay extra there somehow become availability

Plenty of interesting holes to make you think about your position off the tee. Our round very a little slow due to the group in front and took a little under five hours. The only disappointment was the last hole which they have made into a temporary par3. Last year it was an impressive par5 but we were told it is going to be a par4 once the work is completed.

Just as well since the club hire shop at Malaga airport was closed on Sunday morning when I arrived. BTW.. Best to get train from Malaga airport to Fuengirola as quick and super cheap. Taxis in town are inexpensive compared to car rental. The course was well maintained with many holes that made you pause on the tee to figure out the best strategy rather than hit just long and straight with a driver. Only 8 members apparently at the club with evidence of money not being a concern when it comes to maintenance. Very well watered during the 30 degree heat which kept the condition soft and lush. Not much run on the ball but not an issue for big hitters. Greens held the lofty balls up well. The 18th had a temporary par 3 as the fairway was being reworked. I would play there again.

Calanova is undoubtedly a nice course but not as good as other nearby courses, such as Chaparral. There are certainly some great holes and I enjoyed the course but it just lacked that little bit extra to make it a great course. However, it does have a driving range and putting green, and also a huge pro shop. The major downside was that one member of our group did have their wallet stolen from the bag during the round. We had been warned about thiefs before play at Chaparral but not here. Obviously, that event did somewhat taint the experience. But I would still recommend.

We had a couple of slow fourballs in front of us that kept us waiting on a number of shots. Pro shop is huge and well stocked. Bar area is nice with great views over the course.
