Higueron Marbella Golf Resort Golf course

"Tees in poor condition. Front nine were tight, back nine were better presented. The clubhouse is amazing and one of the best on the coast. Windy conditions made the course more difficult" - Anonymous

"SOME GREAT HOLES. FRONT IS VERY DIFFICULT IF ONE IS NOT DRIVING WELL. WELL MAINTAINED AND ONE OF THE BEST CLUBHOUSES IN THE AREA" - DALBINDER

"Första nio var inte roliga men andra nio var ok, hade hoppats på mer så tittar på andra banor. " - Anonymous

"Friendly staff and nice facility’s. Course and practicing area was very dry and hard condition. Not walkable, so buggy recommend. Hilly and narrow. Tricky layout with potential dangerous interaction between wholes." - Anonymous

"always a challenge, esp. the front nine; need buggy; good shape" - Anonymous

"Bra och rolig bana. Fairway ok Greenerna i bra skick. Lite ”bedagad” finishen inte 100%." - Anonymous

"Overlooking the wild boar damage (mostly in the rough) as there's not much they can do about it, the course is not in great condition. Greens were not very reseptive. Layout of the course made for some quirky holes, where driver is usually not the play. Great clubhouse and very friendly staff!" - Anonymous

"A los of areas destroyed by the wild pigs The second half is much better than the first one Greens are ok" - Ed

"The fairways weren’t very lush, they were patchy on places as were the greens. Nice course but wouldn’t rush to play again" - Jayne Coutts

"Marbella Golf Club is a difficult but enjoyable challenge. Front nine more hilly than back nine. Buggies were only allowed on the paths due to recent wet rainfall but it was not a problem getting to your ball. Buggy recommended especially in hot weather. Played it a few times and still one of our favourites. Friendly staff. Very well organised. Excellent food. Highly recommended." - Anonymous

"Heavy rain during the last days made the course by management order kept open! Buggies on slippery pathways only allowed! After hole 5 heavy rain led us to shorten the course back to clubhouse! Club staff advised us to pause until the rain would stop! Other players commented that the club was in urgent need of income resulting in keeping players on the course! Strangest behavior and unfriendly management!" - Anonymous

"Imponerande med hänsyn till att det regnat mycket bara dagar innan. Gillar den här banan mer och mer." - Dan

"Bad layout and condition" - Anonymous

"They had had a torrential amount of rain so it was understandable stick to the buggy paths only, which wasn't ideal. But all things considered it is a fun if not quirky course. The staff were excellent and welcoming and I would give a special mention to the lady in the pro shop who was unbelievably calm and professional with the way she delt with everyone." - Marcus

"Slow but good greens. Course nicely looked after. We were for our tee time but still accommodated " - Dalbinder

"Not in as great an order as other years but still good" - Anonymous

"Front 9 very hilly and difficult,so inability to take buggies close to Green made it hard work! Back 9 much flatter and wider so easier and more enjoyable. Amazingly though,pace of play much quicker on front 9. Greens good Fairways average Buggies good Buggy paths tricky in places Bunkers poor" - Anonymous

"The course was in fabulous condition, just a few bare spots due to heavy buggy traffic. Several holes are visually stunning, tree lined on the front 9 but more open on the back 9, a lot of raised greens making club selection difficult. The greens putted really well, very quick downhill and quite hot of grain on some greens. Having not played it before I found it tricky in several places, but overall it was visually stunning and a real pleasure to play. The par 5 13th especially is a superb hole with water all the way down the left hand side, special mention for the par 3 11th as I made 2 there! The customer service was first class, you definitely need a buggy as some of the hikes from green to tee are very long and hilly, there is still quite a lot of walking required as the buggy paths are well back from all of the greens. " - John Parham

"Course in need of some TLC" - steve byrne

"One of Spains best facilities with regards to course quality, the very friendly reception, good food and most of all the service mind of everyone. Thank you! We’ll be back shortly." - The Northman

"Beautiful views. Front 9 challenging with narrow fairways. Greens in good condition and fast. Fairways in excellent condition. Buggy essential. Staff friendly and helpful." - Gregson Locke

"Very nice course and surely I will return. Some tricky holes but all and all very good experience. I would however change the menu of the restaurant a bit to be more "spannish" than internationa as it lookked. At least for me that would suit better" - jari

"Nice course, friendly staff. Marshal was very helpful." - Anonymous

"A general lack of maintenance on the course in general marred the experience. Especially noticeable on fairways. Greens were acceptable to good. The layout on the first nine holes was not to our liking. As opposed to this the back nine had a well planned and good layout. All staff members were very friendly and helpful." - Jan and Nils

"Well maintained, some blind holes. Very friendly staff, without buggy not possible or very challenging" - Anonymous

"1. Practice facilities and practice putting green. - reasonable facility but the practice balls were like hitting marbles. Neither of us finished our baskets. Putting green in very poor condition. 2. Fairways - clearly suffering from lack of maintenance. We agreed after the 2nd hole to play pick and place as there was a lot of mud on balls. 3. Greens - reasonable to good condition 4. Condition of pathways - some very steep pathways which were wet and slimy. After two close mishaps I asked my wife to get out the buggy as I tentatively took it down some of the steeper pathways. 5. Clubhouse - staff, food and welcome were very good. There is a really interesting course out there that needs some TLC." - The married pair

"Easy parking. Remember to drop the golf bags at the front of the club house before parking. Buggy is only available 10 min before tee-off. The front 9 holes are very challenging :-) the holes have quite big elevation differences. Some holes have the green very high, some have the green very low. The back 9 holes are more "normal". The views from the front 9 holes were in some places stunning. The fairways are in ok condition, greens good. Buggy is a good idea because of the big elevation differences. The staff was friendly and the service was good. We enjoyed very much to play Marbella Golf Country Club, will for sure come back." - Morten Christensen

"We were made feel very welcome in the pro shop and by the starter. Course in excellent conditioning. Buggy recommended as course is quite hilly. We’ve played at this course a few times and one of our favourites." - Anonymous

"Great customer service. Course in good condition." - Anonymous

"Terrible layout of the first 9 holes, should not be called golf course. Also the tees and greens was not in good condition even though this is considered high season. Back nine was better. I will not get back to this course." - Anonymous

"This is a very enjoyable golf course to play with a number of interesting holes. Some of the par 4’s are potentially driveable. The greens were in good condition." - Peter Le Vey

"The course and clubhouse are beautiful . When we played there was a lot of damage from animals digging in the fairways and neer the greens. The hole's are nice and fair to play." - Fred

"FUN! Great clubhouse, very well kept. Good range, fun puttinggreen and all close by. Beware of wind! Some high tees among trees and a high shot will blow away… We’ll be back!" - Per Dahlstrom

"Great course Poor attitude of staff" - Anonymous

"Really nice course beautiful view." - Psr

"Course in very good shape, however the front 9 holes are more difficult than the back nine. Would play again having know how the course is laid out. Make sure you take a few extra balls as you may well need them." - Kaz

"Front 9 looks difficult but be brave and you will score well. Do leave time an excellent lu ch on a super terrace" - Dalbinder

"I played only 9 holes in end. This is the third time I have had the same issue. Extremely busy!! Same excuse every time that there is a competition. Why not advise the prospective golfers before they book. It took 245 min for front 9. Sorry will not be using this course again and I hope golf service in future check the status of courses before suggesting to prospective golfers." - Sharad Saraogi

"I do not understand why a visiting player can only collect a buggy 10-15 min before its tee-off time. As a 70 year old golfer I do not want to carry my golfbag all the way up to the driving range." - Ivan

"The front nine holes are short but really tricky. Hole 4 offers a particular challenge . You need a few rounds on this course to choose the right way . Due to weather conditions, the course was very hard and dry. Back nine holes are easier to play. Other aspects were in line with my expentations. " - Deham

"A great course with many challenges for different handicaps" - Anonymous

"Fairways a bit patchy. Nice greens, especially on the back nine. Challenging front nine." - Anonymous

"Especially front 9 homes are quite interesting. Course is in reasonable condition but needs some work. Bunkers are very good to play because of perfect sand. Buggy paths are sometimes very slippery after rain. Drive carefully." - Anonymous

"First 9 holes too difficult For us but the second 9 Was ok." - Anonymous

"Did not like the course at all. You never know where to play to. If you think you have a good shot, the ball rolls down for many nettes. Not well signposted, several times one does not know where to go. Never again !" - Anonymous

"Challenging course with many interesting holes.We play it every year as its such good value and so welcoming." - Paul Greenwood- Golf club Secretary England

"The First Nine Holes are very interesting but difficult to Play because they are narrow, blind holes and hilly. But beautiful,surroundings like a Wild Park. The second Nine are very nice, and fair. The Fairways and the greens are in a very Good condition. Even so the Paths The staff has been very friendly " - Astrid

"Being from Canada, I found the courses in Costa Del Sol very narrow and with small greens which makes it difficult to score in the low seventies. However, the view on every hole makes up fir a bad score on any given day ! Outstanding restaurant with the best terrace in the city." - Marc

"Not a course we will play again, to many blind holes, Clubhouse weary good, practice airier not good, I made 33 points witch was ok" - Kim Borch-Kristensen

"Quite a difficult course specially the first 9 holes and ‘t was very nice to play there again on the old course ! View is marvelous" - The golfer

"I was told this was a hard course in the mountains and they weren't wrong! Really enjoyed it as its technically hard. You need a buggy! Some great holes and the scenery is spectacular. Recommended and worth the money." - Stuart

"Some holes the first 9 was´nt that good, but the second nine was nice. And a very nice clubhouse. The view from the terass must be the best in costa del sol? " - PG

"First time on this excellent and testing course. Buggy a must as very hilly. Front 9 in particular and some interesting drive holes. Slick greens. Welcoming clubhouse and patio overlooking the shared 9th and 18th Green.......with not many reaching the par 3 9th green, including us. A must play again, and very enjoyable" - Guy Deatker

"Course was in good condition with fast greens. Quite a tough track and you need to be accurate to negotiate your way round. Will benefit from some rain which Is due this week. Overall very enjoyable with excellent service in the shop and bar. Very impressive club house." - Fearnsie

"Fine Greens and a nice Club" - Stiken

"Fairway and greens not good at first 8" - Anonymous

"Love this course having played it a no. of times. Fair to say it's like 2 courses in one with the front 9 using the hills and natural surroundings in providing a very challenging 9 holes and the back 9 being more like a UK parkland course. You need to be accurate and pick your way around the front 9 as anything out of place is in the laps of the gods! The course it's self was in great nick and the greens ran true. Busy on the day with a fair bit of waiting time in places." - Dave B

"great course, buggy bar was frequently driving around." - Anonymous
