Los Naranjos Golf Course
Los Naranjos Golf on the Costa del Sol Golf is one the oldest and most prestigious golf courses on the Costa del Sol, Spain and has hosted a number of championships including the Spanish PGA championship. You will find it is one of the friendliest golf courses on the Costa del Sol.
Set amongst the remains of orange groves from which the golf course derives its name, this is an extremely pleasant course to play.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones it opened in 1977 and over the years has undergone a program of improvements including new greens and a controlled irrigation system to ensure the course is always in excellent condition.
Los Naranjos Golf Course is a very mature course and as with many Trent Jones designs there are long terraced tees. The main feature of the course is how the front nine holes differ from the back nine and some say playing here is like playing two different golf courses.
The front nine has wide sweeping fairways, gentle slopes, trees and water whereas the back nine runs through the orange groves and is significantly flatter and tighter. The course is not that difficult but provides a good test of golf for all standards. There is a very good mixture of holes that will always keep you fascinated and beware the water holes just when you think you are scoring well.
The finishing hole is a par 5 and arguably the most difficult hole on Los Naranjos Golf Course. A good drive will leave the better golfer a shot to the green over the pond with the entire clubhouse watching from the large terrace! For those who choose to lay up even the simplest chip is under scrutiny from the watching audience.
