Course Description
El Real Guadalhorce club de golf, es una antigua hacienda rural del siglo XVI, que desde 1987 fue acondicionada por un reducido grupo de jugadores de golf malagueños creando la sociedad Guadalhorce club de golf, de la que es presidente de Honor S. Majestad el Rey D. Juan Carlos I.El primer diseño del campo fue realizado por el arquitecto finlandés D. Kosti Kuronen, y rediseñado en el 2009 por nuestro socio D. Miguel Ángel Jiménez.Nuestro recorrido, se encuentra en el centro de la vega del Guadalhorce, como comprobara sin ninguna edificación exterior que pueda molestar su juego. Es un recorrido fácil para hacer a pie, la primera vuelta del recorrido es más técnica con dos pequeñas subidas en los hoyos 1 y 5, siendo la segunda, larga y con trampas de agua. Los greenes son espectaculares por diseño y tamaño.
