Golf Rio Real

Opened in 1965 and designed by Spain’s greatest course architect, Javier Arana, Río Real weaves 18 par-72 holes (6,000 m) through mature pines, olives and casuarinas before meeting the Mediterranean at its celebrated 4th green. The routing follows the Río Real river in a natural valley, delivering gentle elevation changes that keep both walkers and buggy riders happy while challenging every club in the bag. On-site you’ll find a boutique 30-room hotel, rooftop pool, wellness spa, sun-drenched solarium, academy, driving range, pro shop and a clubhouse restaurant famed for Andalusian flavours with coastal views. Thanks to Marbella’s micro-climate, you can tee it up here 365 days a year, earning the course praise from the Royal Spanish Golf Federation and inclusion on countless “best-of” lists.
