Santana Golf Course
Santana Golf on the Costa del Sol Golf is an 18-hole golf course par 72 of approx. 6207m in length, set in 138 acres of picturesque parkland.
The golf course, sympathetically laid out by the architect Cabell B. Robinson, is set in a former avocado plantation which provided a natural solution to many problems.
Each hole has two championship tees and two tees for general play for both men and ladies - wide and well manicured putting greens surrounded by strategically placed bunkers, filled with sand produced from crushed marble.
Buggy paths are provided throughout the golf course, beautifully integrated between the rows of fruit trees.
Santana Golf Course is technically speaking a demanding course the layout of the greens, well protected by greenside bunkers, as well as the many water hazards spread throughout the course, will challenge every golfer and require good course management as well as the use of every golf shot in the bag.
The long par-4 18th is one of the most demanding finishing holes on the Costa del Sol Golf according to the designer, with the lake along the right hand side and a narrow approach to the green.
The 4th hole can only be defined with one word: spectacular. The views from the tee are magnificent and the 'Campillos' stream provides a challenging approach to the green or what about the 8th hole, with a length of 602 metre (658 yards) considered to be the longest hole of the Costa del Sol, Spain and favoring the longer hitter.
Don’t forget the 12th Par 3, playing downhill, with a very large undulating green, many a golfer would be happy to walk away with a three here.
