Set between Estepona and Marbella and only a short hop from Puerto Banús, Sol Marbella Estepona Atalaya Park is a handy Costa del Sol base if you want plenty of golf with proper resort facilities on tap. You're slightly inland, so it's quieter than the beachfront strips, but you're still close enough to mix morning tee times with an afternoon on the sand or an evening out.
Golf-wise, the big pull is the 36 holes at Atalaya's Old and New courses nearby, with plenty more options along the coast if your group fancies variety. If you're the sort who likes to keep transfers simple, you can focus on Atalaya and settle into a routine. If you're on a tour-style trip, you can add in other favourites within an easy drive, including El Paraiso Golf Club.
Málaga Airport is roughly 45 to 60 minutes away depending on traffic, which makes it workable for a long weekend as well as a full week in the sun. And when you're not playing, you've got pools, bars and entertainment on site, so non-golfers won't feel like they're just tagging along.
If your priority is maximum golf with minimum hassle, this is the kind of place that makes it easy.
