Golf at H10 Andalucia Plaza

Located a short 20-minute drive away from the hotel, is the spectacular Marbella Golf and Country Club . The course is a traditional championship layout designed by the famous Robert Trent Jones Senior, and provides both a testing but enjoyable round of golf. The 6th hole is considered to be the course’s signature hole with the long par five providing players with both a tempting but daunting approach shot as the water hazard in front of the green does more than just add to the aesthetics of the hole. After your round, if you feel like you have done enough “driving” for the day the clubhouse restaurant provides a magnificent sea view which is able to be admired from a choice of two shaded terraces. The Club House’s menu is the perfect complement to the most beautiful Spanish sunset.

Only 20 minutes from H10 Andalucia Plaza is the glorious Cabopino Golf Club. This  incredible par 71 golf course caters to all golfing abilities and with the beautiful backdrop of the Costa del Sol coastline , even your worst round of golf is made enjoyable.

Golf at H10 Estepona Palace

El Paraiso Golf Resort is only 16 minutes from H10 Estepona Palace and is  designed by nine-time major champion Gary Player, it is unsurprising that it is arguably one of the most established courses in the Costa del Sol region. The dog-legged, par 5, 6th hole is labelled as El Paraiso’s signature hole and in typical Gary Player fashion risk is often met with reward, as if you choose to play on the side of caution a bogey is almost inevitable. The layout of the course with its two lakes and meandering streams tests even the best golfers ability to keep the ball straight and in play.

Rated as one of Your Golf Travel’s top 100 European courses, San Roque Club’s New Course  is a must play when staying at H10 Estepona Palace. Only a 20-minute drive from your fantastic accommodation, the par 72 Perry Dye designed course has some of the most scenic views of all the golf courses on offer. The large greens allow good shots to be rewarded but the array of steep bunkers means bad shots may be punished, so accuracy is no.1 when plotting your way around the course.

Other courses in the area include the stunning Finca Cortesin Golf Resort. Overlooking the beautiful Costa Del Sol coastline, the Finca Cortesin course is designed by renowned golf course architect Herald Huggan and measures up to 7,500 yards from the championship tees. The venue had played host to the European Tour’s Volvo World Matchplay and is regarded as one of Europe’s finest golf courses.
