0800 043 6644The course itself was designed by American architect Cabell B. Robinson, whose trademark can also be seen at the nearby La Cala resort, and is an excellent parkland track. Santana measures just short of 7,000 yards from the back tees, and the main difficulty is in avoiding the strategically positioned sand traps, which are filled with sand produced from crushed marble.
The outstanding natural beauty of the surroundings may well be the predominant characteristic here, but the golf course should certainly not be underestimated; each hole is designed to be distinct, and the emphasis is on sound course management and prudent strategy.
There may not be a single signature hole, but notable challenges include the monstrous 650-yard 8th, while the favourite hole of the designer himself is the closing hole, an exacting par-4 that is bordered by a lake all down the right hand side.
The fantastic quality of the layout, all encapsulated in an astounding natural environment, makes Santana a great choice during your golf holiday in the Marbella area.

The course has had alot of rain over the last 2 weeks but still in good condtion.
Awsome course in the middle of nature. Course in superb condition. Very nice terrace to enjoy the sunshine. Tough par 3's and great par 5's.
This was easily the best course if the 3 we played, great variety of long, short, easy & hard holes. The par 5's here are absolute class with 16 being the pick of them. The greens were in really good condition. This is a really good test of golf and i would recommend to anyone.
Considering there wS so much rain before we played it was in good condition
Great track, lots of variety. Fairly open so you can have a smash off the tees. No driving range a small negative.
I have played here before and it all felt a little tired. The facilities needed some upgrade and the overall impression was that it needed some happy input.
Greens had a lot of poor pitch mark repairs, fairways were good.
Great course loved the look, was in great condition. Slightly slow but no issues really. Food at lunch was okay and the staff were great and made it very enjoyable
A flatter course in excellent condition. Different for a Spanish course but really well maintained. Very good.
Always play this one last fantastic place
Excellent course , just unlucky the greens were just after being sanded and plugged before we arrived by next week they will be perfect , otherwise very good
played several times before,never disappointed. overall a great day
Good Course
From morning coffee to the best home cooked lasagne and everything in between just perfect course to end another great trip thanks To James in the office who looks after us brilliant trip 10/10 perfect
Good
Slow late tee just made it round but great course
Lovely course beautiful scenery great condition
Really enjoyable course, not a tight course but a good challenge for golfers of all abilities. The course overall was very tidy and well manicured. The greens although a little on the slow side during our visit were good to putt on. There were a few holes involving water which were very picturesque and challenging to play. The bar was small and very friendly, the staff were really welcoming, drink and food was very reasonably priced and tasty. Overall a great experience.
Lovely place to visit
Best course of our visit. Never disappointed with course as played many times
greens had just been sanded so difficult to rate really. I'm sure they're much better. course was busy hence a little slow. Fairway excellent. Very open parkland course different to the more wooded and undulating courses we played previously
Greens has just been spiked and sanded. Course as ok, not too difficult. Nice layout.
Our favourite course - great for both golfers with medium to high handicaps. Great team in the restaurant - very personal service.
This was the best out of the three we played as it was a very fair course for all four of us
Nice course in good condition staff very nice and friendly
👍👍👍
Relatively flat course with some very wide fairways. In very good condition. Low handicappers should score well and higher handicappers will have chances to get a low round in.
Very enjoyable. Little bit more room than some of the others
Nice course just don't use a buggy it added nearly 30 mins onto round walk if you can or hire trolley it killed the vibe a little but very pretty course.
Staff in clubhouse really attentive, was aloud to play two 3balls with extra buggy at a good price. Over all one of best courses we've played in spain over last 10 years.
Great course, not as severe as others in the area, lovely condition with some great holes.
Could do with a practice area but bar area is nice .
Once again the course was in great shape , played it twice , Brilliant . Also a mention about the STAFF , as always they looked after us , always willing to help.
This was the first time we have played Santana and it was not quite what we expected. It was more like a traditional English parkland course but with sunshine and palm trees! It was in very good condition and the greens were immaculate but not fast. Mixed feedback from the group with some loving it and others a little underwhelmed considering the price. The clubhouse is small and the shop not very well equipped. However, the staff were fantastic and the food and drinks excellent. The gravelly voiced head waiter is great fun and we would return purely for the ambience - well done guys!
Great course in great condition
5 star all day, amazing
Nice resort course and you can see all in front of you - some memorable holes and great fun. As a last course venue before departing direct to the airport it worked well as they have a container lock up for luggage which was helpful. The restaurant was OK but other facilities quite basic.
75% of the holes seemed the same 🤔
Enjoyed course although greens under maintenance so sandy. Post game drinks disappointing as small terrace no view of course.
The greens had been treated but still didn’t distract from the wonderful setting and condition of the course. The restaurant is fantastic as are the staff. Next year will probably just play this three times
Loved the course, long course and great to play, Greens had been hole and tined which made them the poorest greens we played on, however still and excellent and enjoyable round of golf.
Great course very friendly staff, no driving range
Hospitality excellent.
Superb golf course, staff helpful but clubhouse away from course wasn’t the best. Also one of our members had their range finder stolen when bags were outside waiting for transfer back to hotel (we were warned about our valuables by staff before round)
A fantastic course great atmosphere from as soon as we arrived all through the day .Great staff great course great restaurant.
Had a bad days golf but that doesn't take away from the spender of this golf course. Everything on the course was in the right place and the green were some of the best I've ever played on.
Best course we played all week, fantastic condition lovely condition very enjoyable
Enjoyed course. Not best one I've played.
First class golf day
Good course in good condition a very enjoyable days golf
Loved this course great playability and exact the type I would expect on a trip to Spain. Greens were superb, great water features. would say most forgiving of all the courses of the tee and staff very friendly. No driving range was only really negative but everything else top notch
We really like this place. Good condition and speed of play and always friendly in the club house.
Lovely holiday golf course. Nice condition & mostly open holes. No driving range.
As usual, Santana did not disappoint.
Very good would go back again knowing the course. The food/service in the clubhouse really good worth going back just for a meal.
My favourite of the three we played. A lovely challenging course but not ridiculously hilly or difficult. It was bus but kept moving very well. I'd mention the food and service in the small clubhouse was excellent.
Once again a fair course, but it was the greens which made the course hard. Birdie and par putts were hard to sink! No driving range and very small shop. Hot too in the valley. But, what a fantastic setting.
Stunning course definitely be going back to play
Best condition of all courses played
This is a complex of golf courses and was very busy on the day of our visit consequently the round was around 5 hours but enjoyable nevertheless. Some of the greens were showing signs of the heavy use but primarily due to previous players not repairing pitch marks.
Very enjoyable
best course we played,looking forward to next time,i run the trip and all my fellow golfers have asked to play it twice the next trip,regards Kevin.
Considering the local terain this is a flat course.This is a very pretty course in great condition.The clubhouse is a bit quirky with excellent food and service.
This was the first time we included this course on our trip. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to play because I wasn't well. Having listened to the other members of the group, I don't think that we will be visiting again next year. Nothing desperately wrong, just not as good as our other choices.
Lovely course and very hospitable club house staff.
Always a good course to play and a very good experience
Not a great track, open fairways but not a particularly picturesque course. Greens and fairways average. Nice food at the club house, but disappointing vista from the club house. Won't be returning
Once again Santana delivered on all points ; Club House excellent ; Staff Excellent ; Golf course was a lovely Experience.
Great course beautiful food as well
Overall not bad
Nice golf course, good value for money
We always play here on our way from the airport, course is normally in good condition and the service before and after the golf is excellent.
Sadly my wife had her bag stolen on the course. However we enjoyed the course which was relatively flat.The greens were very fast ( maybe 11 or 12). Staff were very helpful allowing us to phone U.K. to cancel cards etc.
Always a great round at Santana
Stunning
Nice course in good condition and the welcome by the staff was superb.
greens wasnt up to usual standard
Excellent
We have played Santana for the past 3/4 years so It's know surprise to say it's a lovely well managed course and a joy to play , the club house is welcoming and cosy plus the staff members are very professional .
Grea5 Course.
Beautiful course, wide fairways great greens, we had a party of 4-28 handicappers and everyone enjoyed it, would love to go back, clubhouse small and staff very friendly and welcoming
Forgiving course depending on ability.
Best course in this area always play it, friendly club house, a course with NO adjacent properties, a rarity
Fantastic course, very well maintained, one negative it ws unseasonally hot and yet the drinks cart only cam by once. The staff back at the restaurant were the best we have encountered in the many many years we have been doing this, will definitely want this one again on our schedule next year
My favourite course out of the 4 played. Carpark and clubhouse facility greatly improved. Course always in top A1 condition.
This was how all golf should be in Spain. Great course in great condition with superb customer service and friendly staff.
Excellent course with extremely helpful and friendly staff especially the bar staff.
We were told free range balls they don't have a range !!! Lol. Was pretty course guys enjoyed it in the main.
The first hole is a bit bland, also you do have a few holes that are up and down which make it more boring than the others we played. However if you think this course is easy, think again as the Greens are Brutal, undulating, various levels and very quick. 3 Putting is not unusual, even for the better Golfers.
Exceptional course. Best by far
The course was exactly as I remember it, beautiful course, amazing greens and a great challenge to your golf game. The play was pretty slow because there seemed to be too many on the course. The process in the clubhouse were pretty high for some of the drinks, I had a small "chupitto" of rum, too go with my coffee, and they charged me €4.50 which is crazy. The clubhouse changing rooms and toilets had not been cleaned and they smelled pretty bad. It looked tired as if they have not put any money into it for quite a while. Still, the course is phenomenal
Our flight was delayed our golf rep talked to the course to ask for our tee times to be put back which they did and were very helpful in looking after all our luggage as we came straight from the airport and got changed into our golf gear at the course
First time here will come again
Always a good course to play on boys holiday trip
Good course that was a fair challenge of golf.
Great course in really good condition.
Quite an easy open course played it many times and will poss play next time we go
Enjoyable well kept
FANTASTIC course and in fantastic condition. Top 3 on the costa under 100 💶.
Fantastic course, with the best food and service in the area. Looking forward to returning next year.
Santana is well known to us and is a quality experience - perfect for high handicappers.
A lovely course for all golfers , a few holes with water , well kept and a nice club house.

Outstanding as always.
Stunning course, great all conditions, well maintained , would play there again
