Marbella has a wealth of golfing gems, but few are as celebrated as Higueron Marbella Golf Resort, laid out by the esteemed Robert Trent Jones. Set over the rolling hills of the Costa del Sol, it's a proper championship test and sits among the top-rated layouts in Spain.
Found just outside of Marbella, the club sits in a great location for anyone staying in the popular beachside town, making it ideal for those building a Costa del Sol golf tour.
On the course, expect the hallmarks of Trent Jones design: smart bunkering, raised targets and plenty of holes where positioning matters as much as power. Fairways rise and fall with the terrain, and you'll often be picking lines into elevated greens that ask for a confident approach shot and a tidy putt. There's enough variety to keep a mixed-ability group interested, from tighter holes where accuracy wins the day to more generous par fives that invite you to have a go.
The conditioning is strong throughout the year, and if you're planning a winter escape, the local climate is a big part of the appeal. Include Higueron Marbella Golf Resort on your next Costa del Sol golf break and we'll help you build the tee times around Marbella.
Who is this for? Golfers chasing a high-quality Costa del Sol round with a big-name designer and a Marbella-friendly location.
Who is it best for? Confident mid to low handicappers, plus groups who want a standout course to anchor a Marbella itinerary.
