Parador Málaga Golf

Established in 1925, Parador Málaga Golf stands as one of the historic courses on the Costa del Sol. Designed by Tom Simpson, a renowned British architect linked to many of the 20th century’s influential courses, it features a classic, open, and straightforward layout crafted for the flat coastal terrain.

The course includes 27 holes: an 18-hole main course (par 72) and a 9-hole par-3 course. The main course has wide fairways, few water hazards, and vegetation combining pine, eucalyptus, and mimosa trees. Two holes run parallel to the Mediterranean, making wind a strategic factor rather than just a scenic view. The course is easy to walk and requires precision on second shots rather than power off the tee. Its minimal elevation changes emphasize shot placement and reading greens.

The course layout encourages a quick pace of play and is suitable for players with average handicaps, yet it remains challenging for seasoned golfers. Throughout the years, it has hosted European Tour events, solidifying its status in the Andalusian golf community. Its location near the airport and its connection to the Parador make it a convenient option for visitors who want to combine a stay with golf, with scenic sea views always in sight.
