Parador de Malaga Golf course

"The service in the restaurant was very poor and the old petrol buggies were in a poor state of repair. The course itself has been steadily declining over the past few years and is now very tired and raggedy. It does not present well and is overpriced. It does not bear comparison with Santana or Los Naranjos." - Carlovian

"They should give more time gap between the groups starting the game. The game was slow. I had to wait much at each hole." - Slivka

"Great course for first or last day as less than ten minutes from Malaga Airport. Some interesting holes and super greens. We dined in clubhouse and food was very good. Well worth a visit." - Anonymous

"Great course to play on first or last day as it is less than ten minutes from Malaga Airport. The course was in lovely nick and the greens were excellent. We had some food and drinks at the course and we were very happy with the quality, service and the price. Will book it again next year." - Anonymous

"very scrubby , needs money spent to manicure areas better , greens were OK" - Tony Buckley

"This course is flat and a buggy is not required. The greens and fairways where good but some places off the fairways where not looked after very weedy and overgrown. The course is very forgiving on the front 9. The par 3s are long and challenging. I would like to come back and play here again however 80E with Buggy is not worth it. 60E would be more acceptable. The slow play was ridiculous 5 hours for a two ball we lost interest after 13 holes. I believe this is a common problem this is the main reason I would consider going elsewhere." - Anonymous

"Good fairways and greens which are flat and relatively easy to putt on compared to some of the other big courses. However pace of play was awful and we had to abandon the round after 14 holes! There also other clients in the same position." - Don

"Being on the take off flight path meant that every 3-4 minutes a plane and its shadow flew over us. Conversation had to be curtailed concentration lost etc." - Hugohillsboro

"Course is excellent but the noise from separating planes was significant. There appeared to hardly be any staff around and the service in the cafe was shocking" - Disappointed

"The course was in a terrible condition." - Anonymous

"Played this course many times and always like it. Its a good test of back tees and good fun to play. Course in very good condition although work being done on fairways but did not affect game. Encountered a rude 4 fourball of expats but that is not that common as most are friendly." - Anonymous

"very disappointed with a course I have always enjoyed playing." - Mark Dunlop

"Back nine is in better condition" - Tony Buckley

"The course was very busy. There were a number of high handicap players who were causing hold ups and stewards were in constant harrying mode. We took 3 hours to complete 9 holes and 5.5 hours for the round. They need to give longer intervals between games, this is too long for a round of golf. There is a hotel with bars and restaurants at the course but the facilities for those here for the golf are poor. Nowhere to get a coffee when you arrive in your golf gear. The course itself is nice , if a little long but playable across all handicaps. It is a noisy experience on the course with parakeets screeching and planes landing close over your head. " - Ian Crighton

"the bunkers were the worst we have seen in Parador for many years. We played them as FUR." - RGG

"Having now played this course for the last three years I would recommend that a patience 5 1/2 hours buggy ride is the call. The course in places is getting tired and probably needs some investment. Nice course, long but will probably next year give it a miss." - mark chennell

"Restaurant service poor we ordered 8 meals 7 came out together the 8th came out cold although a fresh one was later brought out it just was not good enough. The course requires improvement before it is on the same level as others in the area." - Anonymous

"Course very good. Bunkers very bad." - RGG

"Greens :-( Terrible not good. Fairways under repair blue and in overall bad condition. not expected from a former European tour course. Most likely will not play again. Sorry price/service was not good. Maybe 30 euros worth." - Mike

"Booked twilight and due to slow play, would have still been out playing in head torch. Recommend course and a nice easy walk, no buggy required" - boggie

"Played here a few times. Tee off time good and price good. You eventually get used to the planes." - Anonymous

"Noisy noisy noisy. Constant Aircraft and birds it is at the end of the runway Electric cart went round in a circle Nice lay out but fairways missing on some holes - just sand -perhaps a design feature but looked a mess" - Alistair

"The worst day we have had on this course for many years. To many on on course. No course ranger. Single player allowed to play course. Left course after 4.50 hours at hole 14hole." - RGG AB

"Maintence period had, apparently, been finished the previous week, but hole 15th closed and two other fairways had been returfed and were GUR. The greens are usually a feature of the course and, although recently hollow tinned, were in good condition. Very convenient for the airport, but you have to expect noise from arriving and departing aircraft." - English Ramon

"Played Parador last year and it was in much better condition. The greens were poor compared to last year. All courses should look to follow Santana for top quality greens and fairways" - Escotia

"the service can be faster, but ok" - Anonymous

"Beautiful course, just a shame the greens were sandy!" - Luke

"Nice course, easy walking, not overly difficult off the yellows, but worse playing again. Only downside, right next to Malaga airport with jets only a few feet in the air after take off." - Lanky

"Clubs we hired where according to their website top brands however they only had one brand of club on offer, which was anything but top brand. Very disappointing. Played Lauro the day before paid 6 euro less and was offered top brands there." - Kevin Crumley

"Sorry, For me is this course to noisy. To many airplanes." - Susie

"not as good as previous visits" - fluffy

"Overall very nice course in good condition . You will get use to the planes above after a few holes would play again good course" - J.mead uk

"Bar and restaurant facilities were very bad, very unpleasant servers. Something you cannot help is that the planes flying over distract seriously. Shower and storage facilities/ towels were minimal. Overall layout of the course is beautiful, would remove the ugly fences at sea side." - Klaver5

"The course was in fantastic condition, green were excellent and true. Great track and all for 50 Euros" - escotia
