Teeing of on the first hole of this long golf course will probably be a terrifying experience for most among us because of the steep ravines.
After a couple of holes, however, the course, designed by Robert Trent Jones and opened in 1990, transforms to more reasonable standards but will still require all your attention. The 6th hole (par 5) is one of the most spectacular we ever played (see top picture). From the tee you are able to drive on two different plateaus. Go for the right elevated plateau. from here you will have a clear view to the green. A stream crosses the fairway twice which makes the second stroke tricky. The relatively small green is protected by severe bushes at the hilly back and a lake in front of it.
From both the terrace of the luxurious clubhouse and the course you will enjoy some superb panoramic views over the sea and Marbella while the large undulated greens are a pleasure on their own right. Golf Club Marbella is located about 5 kilometers east of Marbella.
