Santa Maria Golf course

"The course was a lot better than the last time we played it " - Anonymous

"All was perfect." - Giorgio

"Good course; First 9 holes super. 10 and 11 holes very tricky. buggy remaining on the paths makes it very tiring; " - stevie

"Well kept course. Spectacular holes. Beautiful views. Due to the wet conditions we had to stay on the buggy paths which was not an issue. No need for a buggy but might be advisable in very hot weather. Friendly staff and very accommodating when we had to change our tee time. Lovely clubhouse. Excellent food. Great pro shop for all your golf needs and clothes." - Anonymous

"Not an easy course for us - fairways are good but greens were not in a good condition- playable but not perfect Unfortunately buggy was only allowed to stay on the path - therefore you can also walk the course" - Tobias

"Winter course" - Arne

"If the round takes five and a half hour something must be wrong! Every 8 Min. a 4ball flight with this course layout is mot makable. My score was ok but the overall experience very poor." - Christian

"Mostly in good condition but some of the greens were very slow whilst others were very quick. For the time of year it was good but there are definitely areas that need cutting. A very difficult, long and tiring hole is number 9 and I am sure it could be alleviated to make it a little less stressful. On the whole a good course to play on holiday. Very helpful staff" - Anonymous

"Best value for money course this side of Marbella." - Anonymous

"Good lay out - busy every hole waiting - hole 9 very very difficult - Beautiful surroundings - fairways not so good - Overall course very nice to play" - Ton

"El tiempo de juego fue demasiado largo (5,30 horas) un mariscal activo" - Freyne

"Good condtion But very Full we Must wait on every hole. We Player 5.30 Hours. It was terrible. When we are ready the Kitchen was closed and the staff was unfriendly." - Anonymous

"Unglücklicherweise waren viel zu viele Leute auf dem Platz, wir mussten viel warten. Schade dass anscheinend jedermann auf den Platz darf und niemand nach dem Handicap fragt. Anfänger sollten den Platz meiden und eher auf flachen Plätzen spielen Das Layout des Platzes ist wunderschön und alles war sehr gepflegt. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist absolut in Ordnung. Es gab sogar ein Freigetränk nach der Runde." - Hendrika

"Interesting layout with at some points very nice views. Challenging due to mostly narrow teeboxes or landing zones - some blind drives! Very nice staff in restaurant, pro shop and caddy master! Buggy highly recommended. Condition of teeboxes could be improved, most of them were not flat. We were missing some distance indication on the course but might have gotten confused as they were colored red and yellow, maybe not the best choice of colors! Overall good experience on a challenging course with some conditions to improve." - Anonymous

"Not so well maintained Green poor condition Layout is nice" - Amigo

"Significantly worse quality on the golf course than in many years. Far too frequent start times which meant that we had to wait almost 20 minutes already on hole 2. The round took well over 5 hours and no one from the club was out on the course to try to speed up the game." - Kjelle

"The greens and bunkers in a terrible condition!" - The tiger!

"Greens not to good It was to busy Starting times now every eight minutes instead of 10 At the start no buggies because all were in the course To busy lot of waiting, played 5 1/2 hours" - Ab Bruinekool

"It was a wet course So I will give it a new chans later on in good weather and dry conditions" - Arne

"Terrible greens, but the season has been very dry. The rest was very good." - Anonymous

"Course has continued to deteriorate. Have played at Santa Maria for over 25 years. No more. They altered the course a few years ago and have ruined its character. Although our 4 ball played in 4 hours 10 minutes ( time allowed 4.28) we were hounded by the marshals. The reason being they are overbooking the course and are short of buggies and are hurrying players along so they can reuse buggies. Overall experience was very poor." - Bill Houghton

"Course totally overcrowded. Golfers lined up like taxi ranks on about 40% of the holes. Would seriously wonder about going back again after today’s 5 hours 15 minutes 18 holes" - Anonymous

"They allowed too many people on the course. Our tee time was delayed by 30 minutes when we got there and we then had to wait on every tee." - Anonymous

"Trevlig och intressant bana. Lättspelad Behöver mer skötsel dock. " - Eric

"To much work on the course." - Anonymous

"2 holes out under repair. Some others altered to compensate, but this spoilt the experience as temporary greens, shorter holes and poor conditions. Greens generally very slow Pace of play was good as few playing- we wish we hadn’t either! Used to enjoy a round here but not yesterday. Suggest golfers avoid this course until all work’s finished" - Anonymous

"Very good course. Tight. They’ve ruined the 9th" - Anonymous

"I have been playing golf @ Santa Maria on various holidays for more than 20 years. However, the greens were absolutely terrible and the green fees didn’t justify what we all had to putt on. Very disappointing!" - Mr Gary Firth

"too many runoff fairways. get ride of hole 9 and 10. Absolutely dreadfull " - Anonymous

"It is a nice course, in a lovely surrounding and in ok condition. Even if some of the wholes have blind spot when you hit the ball. Buggy is recommended!" - Anonymous

"Nice layout, a couple of holes is a bit too much. Condition could be better." - Anonymous

"Always good value Never understand why the change the holes 9 and 10 9th is not well designed appears to be added to just increase yards 10th he you catch the ridge drives of 350 yards balls tend to be found in the same spot Apart from those two course always gives you a chance to score" - Anonymous

"This is a very scenic hilly course with some good holes on it. Definitely get a buggy. The course was generally in good condition but sadly many of the greens are not. They have not been in the best condition for the last 2 years. Also there can be long wait on the tees at the opening holes and then speeds up. It’s a fun course to play for the price. All in all however I enjoy coming back to play it. Friendly staff and a free drink included." - Spiggy

"Well prepared - good conditions" - Anonymous

"5.35 hours a round, disgracefull" - Alan Oslington

"Sa lot of Tee Shorts are Not in a Good condition. Today we plaid after a group of English people who are playing tournament, because some of them played not verve good, it was very awful playing behind. Waiting at every hole!! We need 5 hours with cart! " - Karla

"Course was in good condition and we enjoyed our round. Speed of play was a little slow at 4.5 hours but acceptable. Warm welcome in the pro shop and very well organised by the caddy master on the first tee. We were paired with a couple from Denmark who were delightful to play with. Would recommend a buggy as the course is quite steep in parts." - Fearnsie

"Well kept course. Wide. Wonderful staff and nice restaurant. Clean facilities. No driving range." - Geir Konsmo

"I get a lot of points and the course is in good condition. It is slow with many waiting times." - Janny

"No driving range. Start times every 8 mins which cause delays on almost every hole. Our round tokk five hours with buggy. Play was ruined due to waiting on every tee. Would not play here again. Greens in poor condition." - Jonathan

"Der Platz ist sehr abwechslungsreich, viele Löcher fordern das ganze Können des Spielers. Alles ist sehr gepflegt. Bei unserem 2. Besuch von Santa Maria war das 'Fairway der Löcher 9 und 10 komplett aufgerissen, so daß keinerlei roll out möglich war. Erfreulich wiederum war der Gutschein über ein Getränk nach der Runde im Restaurant. Leider fehlt der Anlage eine driving range. Ein Buggy ist sehr zu empfehlen, das es immer bergauf oder bergab geht. Auf jeden Fall werden wir den Platz wieder spielen." - prh72

"Traps were in poor condition due to recent Rain. Layout interesting. The two par 5 doglegs are very difficult Hilly we have played 11 different courses here and they are hilly. Service excellent. Food very good." - Jacques from Boucherville Québec Canada

"¡El campo, no el campo de prácticas! todo tiene altibajos y es difícil leer y jugar... los greens son lentos y están mal mantenidos. El hoyo 9 es una infracción al juego de golf: ¡¡¡no se puede jugar!!! en la recepción en el bar y en la salida poco hospitalarios, algo que no sucede en la costa del golf. Nos llevó casi 6 horas... ¡¡No se lo recomendaría a nadie!! Giulio" - Anonymous

"Course in very good condition, some holes are rather difficult to play. All the employees are very friendly. It is recommended to use a buggy, some of the holes are extremely steep. The buggy paths are in good condition, all the holes are easy to find thanks to intelligent sign posts. The greens were not too fast, yet even without any bumps. The golf course of Santa Maria is highly recommendable, We will play it again soon. " - Anonymous

"Thé layout is interesting except for a few Mickey Mouse holes. The greens had many brown spots. The sand trap were missing sand. The staff and marshal very friendly, we had dinner after our round and the food was excellent. Overall very nice day." - Claude Fournier

"Too crowded, 4 groups on the 2nd teebox" - Anonymous

"All good, but the greens were not in perfect condition" - Lars

"Tee boxes were terrible, greens were not in good condition. These need attention Nice layout, some holes awkward but a very pretty course with fantastic views Definitely recommend a buggy Not a good course for the higher handicap players" - Neil Corden

"Dry fairways, very good greens!" - Tiger

"All was in good condition but the pace of play was excruciatingly slow with no marshals in sight to set an appropriate pace - we ended up skipping one hole to get past a threeball that were doing a good impression of glaciers!! The ninth hole needs redesigning with a flat landing area for your second shot to stop the ball rolling 150yards downhill into a lateral penalty area." - Pete Keena

"Have always liked the layout but condition was terrible, should have been reduced greenfee as some of the green were horrific." - Anonymous

"Fairways and tees ok, green a real disaster st some holes" - Anonymous

"Too many people on the course. Very slow round with no marshals keeping it flowing. Very pleasant layout in good condition with some nice views" - Steve and Rich

"fairways and greens are well kept, the path are clean and the road signs are excellently describing one's way round the course. The only problem was that there was too many flights slowing us down to a degree, which had meant it better to buy a twilight round. We accurately just made all 18 holes, but then had no interest to go and have the free drink, we were offered." - Rene

"A beautiful golfcourse , wonderful views, in a good condition" - Anonymous

"Bra bana , men ibland lite dolda hål …" - Anonymous

"They let far too many players out on the course. Many holes had up to 5 teams playing or waiting for play. 9 holes took 3 hours to play! And no marshall on sight. Never again! Robbery by daylight. We left the course after the 9 holes!" - Torben Goldin

"This was a good golf course with interesting holes. It is a fair challenge for a mid handicap golf. The greens were in a reasonable condition. We had read reviews that said there was a shortage of buggies, but this was not the case when we played. The one issue here was the pace of play. It took over five hours for our round and we had to wait on every shot. Though this is not entirely the fault of the course, but there did not seen any effort by the course Marshall to speed up play. We played the last 2 holes as a 6 ball with the two people in the group behind us and were still being held up. Having said this, the round was enjoyable and the course is good value for money compared with others in the area." - Peter Le Vey

"It was 'extremely' slow. Had to wait min 10' on each hole ! No marshall on the course (didn't see one onyhow) and it took 5h30 to finish !! " - Patrick

"The course was in good condition. Great service at the Proshop both days we played. Lucky we did book boogies as this is not a course to walk??. Lots of hills bit a great Golfcourse" - Anonymous

"Takes to long time, again??" - Stiken

"Tre provisoriska greener." - Anonymous

"The layout of the course is fine with quiet surroundings. The course is not easy, some holes are very defiant ( long tee-offs, hilly and narrow fareways). The general condition of the course is good, but the some greens are not in the best condition ( also course management on some holes). A buggy is recommended ( hilly, long distance between some holes). The buggy paths are good, large, but some very hilly! The bunkers I don’t know ( did not get in…??)." - Van Baden Marc

"The course was in very good condition . Work is being carried out on the course therefore 3 temporary greens are in play. This did not affect our round or enjoyment of the course." - Gregson Locke

"Great course for all golfers. Good condition and good service. However very busy and the round took more than 5 hours due to waiting which is a little too long. The buggies are a fast for the hilly area, especially when it rains." - Anonymous

"Played it for the first time and like most courses always a disadvantage especially on some holes around half way which were hard to read due to blind zones." - Anonymous

"Buggy guy was rude. After the 1st hole there were 4 groups on the 2nd tee ahead of us. No course marshals. Then on the short par 3 a marshal starting waving at us from the green indicating we should hurry up. Rude! Will not be returning." - The Nailers Arms

"Good well kept course with some nice holes spoilt by the remodelling of holes 9 and 10. I have played it 3 times since the change and always found hole 9 to be a nightmare, with balls rolling back down the steep hill which is too long to clear for a medium handicapper. Also tends to be a long round with waits on most tees. The free drinks voucher provided was very welcome!" - The Captain

"Nice and varied golf course with well kept fairways and greens. Buggy recommended." - Anonymous

"In general average conditions on a lovely golfcourse. Tees, greens, fairways very average. Good customer service as always. "New" holes 9 and 10 are horrible. " - Anonymous

"Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in very good condition. Generous fairways but still very testing course." - Anonymous

"Santa Maria is a fairly short course, but it challenges the players precision, especially of the tee. A couple of gimmicky holes right around the turn, but in general a very nice layout. The surroundings are very nice, with a park-like character for portions of the course, but with a very scenic, and more woodland character for the middle portions. All facets of the course were in good condition at the time when I played the course. I would definetely play it again, given the chance." - Etuag

"Played this course last year but in bad weather and did'nt get the feeling of it that time. This year back for a round and it was really good, greens and fairwayes in super condition for a resonalble cost. Some tricky holes but not as bad as other cources down here. We liket the course so much so we beged to get a second tee time and somehow thay managed to get us out in the afternoon as well. Buggy is recommended." - Zlobban from Sweden

"t was one of the few courses in early March that still had grass on the fairway. Course was in good condition, despite dry phase. Interesting holes with great views, good golf store, no driving range." - Otto

"Average course, nice view to the sea after hole 9. Hole 9 terrible! Bad Tees and dirty buggies. Buggy recommended. Nice pro shop and friendly staff." - Bruno1955

"Very good course, many players this day" - Stiken

"Always liked this course however they have changed holes 9 and 10. Hole 9 is now a stupid par 5 as is the 10th a new par 4. Unusually for here the round took 5 hours. Some of the greens could have been better too. The views are lovely. The staff friendly. Hopefully it will improve as it’s normally a good one to play but not this time. " - Spiggy

"Too much water on the Course. We were the first that day. Otherwise the layout were Nice. " - Caj

"Nice course in good condition greens only fair due to pitch marks not being repaired by unconsiderate golfers Restaurant staff very good and good food and drink with free drink for each player Buggies essential due to distance between tees and hills in places Beautiful surroundings and views Some blind holes first time playing Some very steep buggy paths, may be difficult in rainy conditions" - Harryb

"The condition of the course was very good but unfortunately there were too many slow players in the course and there was not a Marshall to sort out the slow play" - Anonymous

"One of the best course at costa del sol Perfect fairways, greens and suroundings. Very friendly people. Always a perfect experience." - Anonymous

"Greens slow Rough near boundaries could be thicker to keep balls in play as course is not very wide and fairways are very hard. Course overall very good and holes well marked. Bunkers are well sanded and a pleasure to play. Fairways well maintained and all staff in every area a pleasure to deal with and quality of food excellent. Index one seemed unfair as having not played here previous I didn't know where I was going not helped by being g unable to drive onto fairway. Buggy paths good You have no business playing here without a buggy" - Declan Small

"the Course is in very good shape now!" - Stiken

"Very good layout bar the ridiculous new par 5. Nice surroundings Yes the new 5 - see above Pretty fair but a few blind holes- if you know the courses,it’s fine Customer service was ok Buggies definitely recommended but the 2 we had were useless. No brakes- very dangerous and told the staff who listened,shrugged their shoulders and disappeared, Course was in decent condition for a course that’s frequently overplayed" - Anonymous

"Prachtige baan om te spelen" - Theo

"The greens was a little bit to slow." - OPA

"I love this golf course but for the last time I was surprised and disappointed that without warnings the second 9 holes of the course were under maintenance and I had to play the first 9 holes twice. The worst on the situation was that in the second 9 holes there were more people between regular flights playing the first half of course. We had to wait too much than was acceptable and pleasant and I had to finish playing until finishign the course, it means on the 17th hoel because of delay of standard time of playing (and my following program). It was a very pity becasue I like Santa Clara golf course so much." - Nadia Teuberova

Super, super ! The layouts and the surroundings in good condition and the buggy paths where on this day in repair.

"Lot’s of courses were not green but total Sandy like a dessert" - Anonymous

"The new holes at the top of the course are a real disappointment. Not a course, now, for beginners or people who want to walk. I cannot understand why a club would put in a hole like the new one. It is very long, very doglegged, very steep and not a pleasure to play at all. The rest of the course was in fair condition and the greens unremarkable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would not play it again." - Anonymous

"We arrived early to find a regular monday society had too many players. Instead of 30 they had 46 i think. They squeezed them in so we teed off later than expecyed by 20 minutes or so. That was the start of one of the slowest rounds i can remember. Our tee time was 11.12 and we walked off the 18th just after 5pm. My advice is do not play on a Monday. The course was challenging and super greens." - Donald

"A good price for a course in reasonable condition. All fairways were great, some greens were a bit bobbly due to pitch marks but the tee boxes could do with some attention." - Graeme

"Woolly and slow greens. Very little run on fairways Change in course layout to 9th and 10th holes has added yardage to the course but not necessarily enjoyment. Bar facilities at the 19th hole closed - very disappointing for 4 hot and thirsty golfers having completed their round in searing temperatures. No halfway house or refreshment cart" - Anonymous

"Nice course in good condition. Some holes come with restricted view and are a bit risky, in particular when you are catching up the ball in front of you and you are not fully aware if there is someone in front of you. It's a hilly course and the breakes on the buggies could have been better. The staff was very friendly." - Anonymous

"gut zu spielender Kurs für jedes HCP; gepflegter Allgemein Zustand; nach dem neuen Layout Umbau von Loch 9 (mitsamt 10) ist die 9 doch eine echte, neue Herausforderung. Bei den vorhandenen Ballreinigern sollte entweder überall ein Trocken-Tuch, oder gar keines sein. Leider sind die aktuellen Spieler zu faul oder "bück-müde", um Ihre Ball Marker auf den Greens auszubessern! Sehr schade. Bunker waren sehr unterschiedlich mit Sand gefüllt. Zeitweise schlicht keiner (steiniger Untergrund), dann wieder hervorragend. Preis/Leistung trotz allem sehr angemessen. Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit." - Eddy Rauch
