Los
Arqueros Golf & Country Club is set in the hills
with views overlooking the sea. Throughout the course,
you will see several old watchtowers that are now
listed as historic monuments. Los Arqueros or "the
archers" is so named because of the medieval
lookouts that protected the coast. Should they see
any sign of invaders, arrows were sent from tower
to tower all the way up to Ronda to warn the Overlords
of impending danger.
|
The
18-hole course was originally designed by Seve Ballasteros,
but over the past 4 years, many modifications have been
made. Plans are now underway to introduce a further 9 holes,
giving players the option of two different courses.
The
map below highlights how challenging the Los Arqueros course
can be and has something to offer the high, medium and low
handicapper as well as good practice for any pro.
You
must be able to produce your handicap certificate on request
- a handicap of 27 or under for men and 35 or under for
ladies.

The
18-hole course at Los Arqueros is situated ten minutes drive
north of Puerto Banus, just off the Ronda road. Designed by
the master himself, Seve Ballesteros, you know it's going
to be a course to be reckoned with. As you drive towards the
splendid clubhouse you will see Los Arqueros in its full glory.
Beautifully lush, curvaceous fairways, golden bunkers and
immaculate greens invite even the best of golfers to come
and take on the challenge. |
| The
1st hole at Los Arqueros replicates Seve's description
of his ideal opening hole, teeing off down hill with nothing
but open fairway views. It is a straightforward, confidence
building first hole that fools you into thinking the whole
course will be this easy. It's not!!!
The
3rd hole is a long uphill par 4 and the first of 6 holes
where water comes into play. It takes a good long 250 metre
drive to reach the fairway, so make sure you're on form
with your driver .
|
|
|
|
The
6th hole is said to be the hardest hole on the course
and is a 510 metre par 5 with a narrow fairway and a water
hazard.
The
13th hole has breathtaking views of the glistening blue
Mediterranean and could almost be the 7th water hazard on
the course.
The
18th hole is a long dogleg right with a blind green
so you're tested all the way.
|
 |
|
The
19th hole and time to relate your golfing triumphs of
the day over a nice cold beer or glass of Spanish wine.
Savour the fine, cosmopolitan menu whilst looking across
the Mediterranean to the north African coast.
The
Club House is open daily from 8.00am to 8.00pm *.
