Golf courses in Benalmádena

Benalmádena is one of the most convenient golf bases on the Costa del Sol, and convenience is genuinely its strongest card. The town is fifteen minutes from Málaga Airport — meaning minimal transfer time after a flight — and sits centrally between the courses of Fuengirola and Mijas to the west and the city courses around Málaga to the east. Torrequebrada Golf Club in Benalmádena itself is the town's own course: a competently maintained layout with sea views, popular with visitors staying in the town's hotels and apartment complexes. Within twenty to thirty minutes you can reach Mijas Golf, Lauro Golf and Guadalhorce Golf Club; within forty-five minutes, the broad and varied offering of the Marbella area begins. The town has a well-developed tourist infrastructure with a wide range of hotels, restaurants and a cable car up to the Calamorro mountain that offers views across to Africa on clear days. For golfers arriving from the Netherlands or northern Europe who want to minimise travel time and maximise time on course, the combination of Málaga Airport, the volume of nearby courses and the central Costa del Sol location makes Benalmádena a very practical and unfussy base.
