Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club

8.2
Very Good See all 111 reviews

Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club is a stunning parkland course nestled in the beautiful Ronda Hills near Marbella. Located equidistant between Málaga and Gibraltar, this championship golf course holds the prestigious distinction of being the first golf course designed by legendary Spanish golfer Severiano Seve Ballesteros in 1991.

The course features relatively small greens that are not heavily bunkered, but have tricky slopes that are difficult to negotiate. Strategy is crucial to scoring well at Los Arqueros, which at just over 6,200 yards is not the longest test.

Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club

The tourist friendly, challenging and stunning course commands an enviable mountain setting and magnificent views over Andalusian hills and the Mediterranean. Located in Benahavís, only 5 km. from San Pedro de Alcántara and near beautiful Ronda, on the Ronda road.

Signature Hole: Hole 13, Par 5, 458 metres (501 yards), SI 6

Los Arqueros’ 13th deserves its status as signature hole not just for the challenge that it presents, but also for its magnificent scenery of ‘Mare Nostrum’. On clear days, it is even possible to see the coast of Africa and the Atlas Mountain Range. The golf is nothing short of spectacular either, and from an elevated tee the fairway starts off narrow, before it veers off to the right.

It is possible to attempt a ‘Seve’ in cutting the corner and going for the green in two. However, this is a dangerous approach and anything to the right of the green will result in a lost ball, while anything short will be swallowed up by the greenside bunker. A fade would suit this approach well, as the left side of the green is guarded by an uphill slope. A stunning golf hole, offering much in the way of risk-reward.

The greens were a disgrace to Los Arqueros and how they can charge to play there in that state is beyond my whole group. Honestly it’s the worst condition of any course we’ve ever seen and we’ve been playing 20+ years in this area

Average

Greens were in dreadful state, covered in both sand and animal footprints everywhere. Couple of holes on back 9 bit tricked up, with a 220 yard carry off yellows and another with steep slope rolling down into wide ditch whenever you land ball within 100 yards of it. Walked out of bar after ordering and still not receiving beer 20 minutes later. Have previously visited and been impressed, gone downhill massively

Great course and layout, with some tight holes and therefore a challenge for golfers of all levels. The greens were extremely quick and staff superb with advice and assistance. Would definitely put this place on your list if playing in this part of Spain. Some nice touches with flags and tee markers with the iconic image of Seve Ballesteros, and also different flag colours to assist In identifying pin positions on the greens. Overall superb.

Seemed to be golfers on the course that were on high handicaps, should not really be on a course of this difficulty, it's disheartening for them and frustrating for those behind them. Although we had booked a buggy through YGT the pro shop wanted s to pay for it, we refused and they allowed us a buggy to be sorted out on our return, we weren't charged.

A very good course to finish a golf tour. The course design is a little quirky at times with very narrow fairways but overall a course that improves as the course goes on and one that is very suited to a more relaxing final day of golf after a few days of intense golfing holiday.

I liked it, but my drives off the tee are mainly straight so the course suited me more than my partners who were generally longer hitters with mild to strong fades. Some of the holes just weren’t suited to fades, with steep bankings on the left and steep gorges on the right flanking tight fairways. Good for straight hitters though :-) and someone mentioned that it was a typical Seve Ballesteros designed course. It’s a hilly course so, again, buggies were great, with the added benefit of these, unexpectedly, being included in the package. Lovely views from the restaurant. However, the restaurant didn't open until 11am so we couldn't even get a coffee before we played. Not the end of the world, and perhaps it was just early in the season. They were doing work in the restaurant area and it was open when we finished, although fairly crammed as the course emptied when the rain started late on. The group in front of us were really slow, losing three holes to the group in front. We let two two-balls through to move things along, but the first nine took 40 minutes longer than it needed to. We spoke to the Course Marshall at the turn and he asked the group in front to let us thorough after the 10th, which they did.

I say it is a hard course but that is simply because it is so very hilly. Makes it a different challenge! Club selection very different. Very attractive course and YGT was welcomed in the Pro Shop. Nice chap seeing people off on the 1st Tee with lots of helpful advice. We played without a buggy - my preference - but you really know it at the end. Worth playing, good experience.

This is an extremely difficult course to play, but the views were spectacular, the fairways were very well maintained, would certainly play again. On the web site is states evidence of a handicap is required. We had two golfers in front of us who clearly had no handicap as they struggled to even hit the ball, thus they slowed play and made it frustrating at times.

This was the least popular of the courses we played. Accuracy was vital and off the fairway meant a lost ball. This was a course stuck into an area which really should not have been used for golf! Carved out of hilly scrubland. Clubhouse facilities were very good.

This course is nice, there is a lot better out there. They book far too many close tee times. The pace was painfully slow. At one point there was 4 groups on 1 hole. And a 15 minute wait to tee off on another. Plan for a 6 hour round to play here. The time spoilt the round for us

greens and tee's were not in great condition, and if you cant hit a long drive off the tee (over 200m) then you are in trouble,good coarse but not great.
