Calanova Golf course

"Our favorite course! In perfect condition today. But to give some feedback. The ball machine in the driving range must be available for credit cards." - Jan from Sweden

"The course was in good condition. There was some narrow farways and small greens. Surroundings were clean and good taken care. Customer service was very correct and helpful. Buggy is recommended." - Antti

" The course is spectacular and the views on certain holes are amazing. You have to get acquainted with the features of some holes because otherwise you will be adding few strokes to your score. All the personnel is cooperating to help you to have a pleasant game. " - Jean-Yves

"Very well presented. Have everyone a chance. Some tricky greens but will definitely play again" - Anonymous

"I have seen this course in better shape and condition. I think you should have reduced green-fee because of this bad condition. Another thing is, why is it so that we on some hole couldn’t drive on the fairway but need to only drive on the pathway? No explanation why. On this course we have to use buggy and still it is not include in the green-fee." - Nygaard

"Calanova is my favorite course on the Costa del Sol, the nice view from most of the holes , wide fairways, variation of holes is very good. Greens was very fast this time but generally very good. The restaurant and the Golfshop is super nice too." - Morten H

"Second time playing here and always busy but well organised Marshalls on course and for the amount of players in good condition. Mixed layout varied holes decent test." - PW46

"The course was in good shape, with indeed hills and doglegs which are challenging but not too hard. The views are superb. Buggies are quite necessary. Greens were in perfect conditions." - Eric

"We have played Calanova a number of times. The course is quirky but nice to play. The greens were extremely fast. In addition, the clubhouse does very good food and the pro shop is well stocked" - Mike Stephens

"Nice layout. The course had maintenance ongoing this week. Very slow groups in front of us. No marshall that was active" - Bogey golfer

"Helt ok standard" - Arnold

"Lovely facilities with a nice clubhouse and massive golf shop. Course in pretty good condition. Only issue are the bunkers which do not have a sufficient amount of sand in them making it difficult to play a proper shot from them. Buggy highly recommended as course is very hilly in many places and the distance between holes on some of them is quite a distance. The course has a number of exciting holes. The downhill par 4 4th is drivable! Advantage should be taken on the short par 3 8th and 17th. Also the par 5 9th reachable in two for bigger hitters. All the staff were very friendly that we encountered. Playing it for the first time can be tricky as you need to know where to aim. Overall not too silly a price and is another typically Quirky course on the Costa." - Spiggy

"Banan i perfekt skick. Finns inget att klaga på, kan verkligen rekommenderas. Fy" - Anders Nimmerfelt

"The course is challenging but fair. Condition of the course is good and the layout is nice but quite a few steep hills, buggy is recommended. Tees and Greens were good, but most of the bunkers need topping-up with fresh sand. Nice bar/restaurant in the clubhouse overlooking the course with the ocean in the background. Excellent Pro Shop (very big over two floors) with helpful staff." - Brian

"Always good" - Arne

"We had a good time honestly. Great that you offer a safe in the carts, really love that. Troyes and fairways in good shape so are the greens. Only issues i could thinknoff that the front 9 the green were faster than on the back nine. The course seems easy but it’s really not. Some holes need to play strategically. Staff is nice and nice that you have ranger assuring pace of play. Good stuff congrats" - Tgrau

"I really like the Calanova course and have played it several times over the last three years. Basically I can confirm the comments JaCe has made on 2024-10-23. Besides this, some holes were set up pretty short, I.e. #9 Par 5 played about 370m off the yellow tees!!?? And the greens, although in good condition, played way slower than other courses we have visited this January. Anyway, I really recommend playing Calanova Golf Course, It’s worth the money!" - Anonymous

"Course was in a good condition like it has been last few years. I really enjoyed playing. Restaurant and proshop are really good. Mens toilet, changing room, toilets on the course and driving range needs urgent renovation, they are in terrible shape. " - JaCe

Fairways and greens are maintained well. The Pro Shop is amazing, with 2 stories of golf merchandise, from shoes, clothes, to golf equipments, definitely the biggest golf pro shop I have ever seen! Definitely a “repeat” course for me!" - Lee Yu

"Ras terrain parfait" - Harel pascal

"Other than the worn and sometimes parabolic tees, all was in great condition. This is a course you need to have experienced to play well on, so we're looking forward to a return in the not too distant. Buggy defo needed. The golf supermarket is extremely well stocked and worthy of a visit in its own right." - Pete Keena

"The greens were fast with some really tricky pin positions. A rally fun experience. Great value for money." - Stuart Macrae

"We played with 2 couples on 18th December. It was a pleasant day on a beautiful course. We had a booking by „Golfservice“ everything was perfect organised, People at the desk were helpful, as well as the starter and caddymaster. We bought some things in the proshop, which is unbelievable. The stuff was good informed, helping with shoes and sizes. After the round we had a drink on the terrace, also here a good service. One small thing: the men’s toilette is not in a good condition. One room, there is no seat. The other room, the door could not be closed. But this was not important. Wish you all a nice Christmas and happy New Year. Be sure we come back, as well as our friends. Best regards Michael Jutta Claudia and Manfred" - Golfmichael

"Interesting golf course where course management is key. Greens well maintained and rather quick. Pace of play quite ok so we could just get in before darkness." - Anonymous

"We played mid November- the last of 3 courses- this was far and away in the best condition. Mind you don’t end up beyond the hole as the downhill putts were almost impossible. The facilities were excellent and the siting of the on course refreshment meant that you had 3 or 4 opportunities to buy food and drink- another excellent feature. And then there is the shop with an amazing collection of golfing gear for all" - Anonymous

"Great course and restaurant with a wonderful view. Top service from the staff!" - Anonymous

"Play was very slow. Our tee time was moved later by the club and the people ahead of us were drinking and there was several empty holes ahead of them. Besides being annoying we did not have time to play more than 15 holes before it was too dark to play (we had 13.44 tee time). It took one hour to play the first three holes and we called the caddie master but there was no improvement. Best regards, Tomas Hagborg" - Anonymous

"Calanova has a nice lay-out and we all liked it but the greens and the pin position is really ridiculous! on almost every green the pin is on a slope! A big plus is that you visit the bar with food and drinks 3 times! " - Mark

"We have played Calanova several times. It is always in good condition. Changes in elevation add to the challenges with the exception of the 18th which we just can't get the hang of. Staff are efficient and friendly. Buggy is essential as there are steep climbs and long green to tee distances. We will play it again. " - George & Kathryn

"Layout good and condition " - Arne

"fairways in top condition Relatively fast greens" - Anonymous

"Fun course. Hilly with some odd holes, but need to use good course management. A tad slow when I played. Huge pro shop upstairs and downstairs." - Way-aye

"The course was in good condition and produced mixed results for a group of low to middle handicappers (6-18). It is not for the faint-hearted and is a bit of a ball eater. Shots even slightly off the fairway or green are often embedded in impenetrable shrubbery or run off down cart paths for tens of meters. Very hilly with fairways that tend to run the ball to the middle. Tee boxes were good, greens had a lot of unprepared pitchmarks and had difficult pin positions on the edge sloping greens. The greens were faster than other courses we played." - Anonymous

"last of 4 courses &we liked this one best = hope to return" - bob

"I've been playing Calanova since it opened and was disappointed with it today. We've long given up on the restaurant as it certainly doesn't cater for golfers, no mixed grill, no omelettes etc. so we ate in advance. The two main issues today were the locations of the yellow tees and the condition of the fairways. The yellow tees were almost all so far forward, off the red and even blue tee boxes, that some normally good holes became far too short. The fairways were extremely patchy. The problem that arose again and again was that the ball sat on a bare patch with shrubby grass immediately behind and in front of it. This made good striking impossible particularly when playing finesse shots around the greens. The bunkers could also benefit from a lot more sand a s some were like playing off concrete. We've always enjoyed Calanova but now is not a good time to play it." - RemyM

"Fairway is ok Greens is little bit slow" - Lars Thelin

"Again a pleasure to play at Calanova." - Harm Mulder

"Nice course nice people in pro shop great enjoyed" - laurence walsh

"Excellent design of the course. You need à buggy because long distance between holes but included in à global price. Nice club house with panoramic view on the sea. Incredible pro-shop." - Deham

"Greens,fairways und Bunker in sehr guten Konditionen, freundliches Personal. Aufgrund des Geländes Buggy auf jeden Fall empfohlen. Buggy Pfade erhalten gerade eine neue Betondecke, was sich positiv auf die Rutschgefahr auswirkt." - Golfwolli

"Sehr interessanter Platz. Fairways und Grüns in seinem sehr guten Zustand. Restaurant und Service sehr sehr gut." - TomTom

"The course is fun and challenging but this time of year with a bit of rain during the day it was not in good condition. Very muddy fairways, and a lot of water even on greens. Wide and fun course normally and you need a buggy because its a lots of hills." - Nisse

"Some tees are very uneven. Greens average." - Peter

"Good condition, nice undulated tough greens Interesting lay-out Unfortunately slow players in front of us and no sheriff on the course which ment that we couldent play more than 17 holes before darkness arrived 4 hrs and 40 minutes for 17 holes" - Jagaeus Ulf

"Very nice. Challenging Excellent service, nice people" - Anonymous

"the greens could be faster, everything else ok." - Kalle

"A great course with varied challenges. The stroke index for the recently finished 18th is however wrong as this is very tough for a SI 14. The standard of service is first class and the staff are very friendly and helpful more than any other club in the area. The pro shop is also the best around. " - Simes

"Terrible course except for a few holes. The greens were bad and the drivning range was a complete joke with golfballs from 1988 and I paid 1 Euro for 12 balls. Embarrasing golf club." - Andreas Janson

"Please tell customers that hole 18 is a provisional hole again. Some would then decide not to play. Other than that the corse is in excellent condition A buggy is a must" - Happy .. almost

"One of the best for the money" - Stiken

"This course is beautiful and maintained super well, fairways as well as greens. However, the green is a little slower than the greens in the US so it took a little adjustment for me. Btw, it’s always useful to ask the starter about the green speed first, ie, 6, or 8, or 10. The landscape and mountain/ocean view is just breathtaking. Course management is a must, especially in a big wind you must hit your shots straight and low. A lot of elevated greens so add a couple of clubs for your approach shots! The pro shop is very impressive with 2 floors of all kinds of golf attires and equipments, with lots of discounts too. The restaurant terrace has a terrific view of the Mediterranean , great to have a cold beer or a meal after the round! A definite course to return!" - Anonymous

"Excellent course in very good condition post maintenance. The ´supermarket´ is every golfers dream! The price of balls, shoes, shirts through to bags and clubsis very,very reasonable. Great names, great quality, low prices! A must visit! The course well worth a visit and highly recommended by Golf Service" - Phill Littlejohn

"This is one of my favourite courses and been playing there for more than 10 years.

"Es war eine tolle Frühjahrsrunde bei bestem Sonnenschein. Die Tage davor hat die Costa del Sol ein Regenchaos erlebt, dennoch war der Platz top in Schuss. Die Übungsanlage ist ausbaufähig, die Abschlagmatten müssten dringend mal erneuert werden. Wir kommen aber sicher nochmal hierher, weil der Platz wirklich ansprechend, reizvoll und sportlich anspruchsvoll ist. Ein Buggy ist sehr zum empfehlen. Im Clubhaus gibt es einen extrem großen Proshop /Discount." - Lutz

"Somehow challenging but to many holes which changed the difficulties … greens not so fast but tricky … personelle on the clubhouse very nice … course very hilly but with nice view to the sea … biggest outlet store in golfing what I seen so fare in clubhouses … overall I should go there …" - Marcello

"Very nice Golf course. One of my Favoriten. Good mix of challenging and rather easy to holes. Biggy clearly to recommend. One of the biggest Pro Shop I have ever Seen with all Major Brands and very good prices." - Anonymous

"18 very different holes and 3 drivable par 4s for the long hitters. Some of the greens have some wicked slopes so make sure you don't have too many downhill putts as the greens are quick enough. The course is reasonably tight in places, but they've made those areas hazards, so a penalty drop keeps the pace of play going. All the staff are very helpful and friendly and the pro shop is the best by a long shot and has some great bargains" - John Coulson

"The course is not that bad - cart was in bad condition" - Anonymous

"Calanova has developed into one of the best challenges around with great facilities.The proshop is mindblowingly huge and the restaurant is great value.Excellent general condition of course but be careful on the steep buggy paths." - Paul Greenwood- Golf club Secretary England

"Great clubhouse with good food. Playable course and greens jn good condition. It was a shame many of the challenging and interesting yellow tees had been moved forward too much. The remodelled 18th was a bit of a let down since it was far more interesting as a par 4." - LLGS founding member

"Good condition but pace of play was extremely slow - we had to leave after 12 holes as it had already taken 4.15 hours! We were stuck behind a group of 5 golfers. Nice course but very disappointing that we couldn’t finish the course as was far too slow waiting 10 mins on each tee box for the group in front." - Parker

"Everything on the Course is good ! But it was two things before the game That was bad . We miss the teemaster , it two persons WHO Werner 30 min Late to there Teetime that just tryed too step before Verry irritating. No buckets for rangeballs . The resturant is verry good . So we vill be back for sure. Christer Larsson" - Christer Larsson

"Calanova is a pleasant course, not too difficult. I don't like the new layout of the 18th. It's a par 5 but I, and I'm not a long hitter, could reach it in 2 and a birdie resulted. The real problem with Calanova is the same as many other trips there....the restaurant. On this occasion only a breakfast buffet was available. Not what a diabetic wants! The staff were not particularly pleasant and you could only eat in one section of the restaurant. It is a nice course with a superb golf shop but the restaurant always let's it down." - RemyM

"Everyting is as before exept 18th hole WHO is New and in my opinion a Donald Duck hole" - Arne

"Nice and easy to play." - PG

"Great variety of holes, greens in fantastic condition. Lot s of risk and reward type shots, plenty of elevated tees which is something I kike to see. Every member of staff we came across were very friendly and welcoming. You need a buggy as lots of walks from greens to tees and quite hilly." - Tim Jacobs

"A great course with nice view. I like the course layout with a perfect match of par 3,4 and 5 holes. Great location of the snackbar that you pass several times during your round. Best shop I have ever seen in Spain." - Tomas Åström

"Incheckning gick snabbt och de var effektiva med att få ut alla på banan i tid eller som för oss tidigare. Fantastisk kvalitet på banan, mycket upp och ner, så bil rekommenderas. Många roliga hål och en del dolda. Motorvägen ligger intill några av hålen, men vi upplevde inte detta som ett problem, då vi var så nöjda med resten. Gillar man shopping, så finns det en otroligt stor golfaffär på två våningar, med massor av golfkläder. Det gick dock inte att testa klubbor,. Vi kommer tillbaka!" - Jessicka

"The course had a everything what a need for a nice game : holes where you need length , holes to play om a smart way , but all holes are very fair ! Nice vieuw and it is difficult to löss balls ." - Huub vd Vrande
