Santana Golf course

"Very playable layout with no. Major elevation changes, hence a very enjoyable course to walk and play. Still quite strategic because of clever design particularly around the greens. The back nine is a little easier so don’t Worry if you struggle on the front. No need for a buggy unless the weather is very hot. The course was in good to very good condition except the greens were left quite long and thus were a little slow probably due to the time of year. Still one of the best courses on the Costa del sol." - Paul Twigden

"The course has a nice layout, and is well maintained. The bunkers was in bad shape After the Heavy rains. Very hard and almost impossible to play from, you could have wished that they have been raked in the morning" - Leif

"Fabulous course, immaculate fairways and tee boxes, a good but fair test of your golfing skills, the only one down side is that the 17th spoils the course but the 18th more than makes up for this, a fantastic finishing hole to have." - Paul Grainger

"This is a very likable course and I understand why have play the course it is so popular. Can recommend the course without doubt" - Allan

"We only recently played Santana for the first time and we wanted to return this time because we enjoyed it a lot. Friendly staff, course in good condition and not too challenging. Very nice clubhouse with excellent food and wine. IF I lived in Spain permanently this would be my go-to club" - Anonymous

"Detta är min lilla favorit bana, kort men klurig. Några svåra par 5 hål och några lättare par 4 hål. Allt är oftast i bra skick när vi besökt banan och det har vi gjort några gånger det senaste året. Men alltid en fröjd att komma till Santana utan ranch, vilket gör starten lite klurig. Absolut en bana man skall spela om man i krokarna. " - Nutte

"Nice course som skall spelas från Svart om man har under 15 hcp." - Stiken

"Course in excellent condition Best we played our group of 8 Shower area needs to be updated " - Jack Ireland

"The condition of Santana was second to none, not a blade of grass out of place or a blemish on the course. The starter was very attentive and had a good discussion with group prior to playing. The course itself is very lush and relatively open which suits all handicap ranges. This is a must for our group in future." - Moosie2019

"The course was stunning! But not impossible encouraging scores to be achieved although there are some unexpected hazards. My favorite hole was the 3rd, the approach to the Green was exciting and rewarding." - Brummie Mike

"Slightly overpriced" - Anonymous

"I just love Santana.." - Jon Magne Karlstad

"Santana (bara namnet inger respekt för en musiker som jag) är väldigt trevlig att spela med alla avokado träd och vacker omgivning. Buggey är inte nödvändig. Bra fairway ärliga greener. Lagom med vatten som ibland är i speloch ibland bara vackrt tillskot. 18 härliga hål med egen karaktär på samtligs ger en mycket trevlig runda. Att vi sedan fick två härliga skottar i bollen blev ett ytterligare plus. De har så naturlig inställning till golfen så det blev många skratt och roliga kommentarer oss emellan. Kommer snart spela Santana igen, både på golfbanan och på skivspelaren.!" - Totte

"Vi spelade ganska sent så greenerna var väldigt upptrampade och mjuka. Annars var allt ok" - Anonymous

"Trevlig bana för medelgolfare. Inga större svårigheter och inte så lång. Hål 18 väldigt trevligt med vatten i spel och där man måste placera sig rätt för att få ett bra inspelsläge till den upphöjda greenen. Vid vårt besök var banan ganska blöt annars hade betyget varit ännu bättre." - Håkan

"The lack of a diving range was a minus but it was a beutiful course to play" - Mikael Söderberg

"Trevlig bana med advokado träd längs banan. Bra skick på banan, roliga hål. Lite besviken över att de pressade på angående speltiden. Betalar man en såpass saftig greenfee och har med sig en 36 hcp i 3-bollen känns det lite surt att de fyller på med en extra spelare samt pressar på att vi skall spela snabbare. Men på det stora hela, mycket bra!" - Linus

"We waithed one hour for the food in the restaurant. No driving range, they should at least have net or simular for warm up. Otherewise the course is fine, but as other courses in the earea it is overpriced. Santana is always on my list when playing golf in Marbella." - Per

"To say that when we played was the first day of the high season price I expected n excellent condition course. The maintenance was complete a few weeks earlier but we started on the 10th because they were fertilising that day the first 9 greens. Rather annoyed as resulted in a bouncing roll on those greens when putting. The greens were slower than when we played last year at the same time of the year. Fairways were ok but not excellent as I expected for the money. Probably will drop now this course on our tour next year." - Mutley

"The price is to high. IKEA model, cheaper price more golfers!! A guide to the various holes is missing. Very good starters before first tee. Good service in restaurant. We come back some day, but next trip shall I visit another courses. Valle Romano was better and cheaper but this is also to expensive." - De la Garde

"As a group we have played Santana six times and enjoyed it .We always play it as our last round and make a presentation to the winner in their clubhouse and the bar staff help make it a great occasion.But on Sunday May 3rd I walked off the course after nine holes in protest as they simply let to many people on it.Slow is not the word ,after the second hole we were waiting around to play evey shot.I complained to the ranger and to the the staff in the pro shop which fell on deaf ears as I was told no one else complained.Hope they resolve their issues" - Brian Dolan
