Guadalmina south: This is the oldest course of the Gualdalmina complex which comprises two eighteen-hole courses and one short nine-hole course. It was designed by Javier Arana in 1959 and is renowned for its difficulty, thus making it more suitable for experienced players. Wide fairways, without rough or water hazards. Guadalmina north: Designed by Folco Nardo in 1973, this course runs almost parallel to its southern “brother”. It is shorter and hillier than the south course and has more water obstacles. The course requires straight drives down the middle of the fairways as failure to do so may have one ending up in one of the numerous water hazards hidden in the rough.
