Play the course that suits the day, then come home to the coast.

Benalmádena is a practical base for a Costa del Sol golf holiday because the choice begins locally. Golf Torrequebrada offers an established 18-hole course between sea and mountains, while Benalmádena Golf provides a technical nine-hole par-3 course and practice facilities for a shorter game. Both are approximately four kilometres by road from Kingfisher.

A wider golf day opens up around Mijas and Alhaurín de la Torre. Mijas Golf has two contrasting 18-hole courses, Lauro Golf has 27 holes in an inland setting, Santana Golf offers an 18-hole parkland course, and La Cala Resort brings three championship layouts together in the Sierra de Mijas. That variety makes it easy to mix full rounds, practice and non-golf days.

If you need a little help finding the right contact or making a general enquiry, Kingfisher will be happy to assist. Tee times, payments and the booking agreement must always be made by the guest directly with the golf club, where the current green fee, dress code, handicap requirement, equipment and maintenance schedule can be confirmed. Distances below are approximate road distances and traffic can affect the journey.

Plan it properly

Five checks before you reserve the round.

A little coordination avoids rushed mornings and surprises at the first tee.

Book direct

Tee time and maintenance

Confirm the live start time and ask whether greens or fairways are under scheduled maintenance. Seasonal demand and daylight affect availability.

  • Book direct
  • Check maintenance
Club rules

Handicap and dress code

Each club sets its own handicap evidence, dress and pace-of-play rules. Read them before paying, especially for mixed-ability groups.

  • Club rules
  • Group planning
Reserve equipment

Clubs, trolley or buggy

Reserve rental equipment directly with the course rather than assuming it will be available on arrival. Ask about transport and storage terms too.

  • Check conditions
Traffic dependent

Travel time

Map the journey for the actual day and time. Traffic can make an early coastal tee time less forgiving than the distance suggests.

  • Allow a margin
Mixed holidays

Non-golf plans

Kingfisher keeps beach, pools, park and local attractions close for rest days and anyone in the party who is not playing.
