Aloha Golf is widely regarded as one of the top courses in Andalucia. It is situated just a few miles from Marbella in the famous ‘Golf Valley‘, along with two other well-known championship courses, Las Brisas and Los Naranjos. Aloha is renowned for its thick vegetation, abundance of trees, difficult greens and large number of water hazards. This beautiful course in an attractive setting was designed by Javier Arana and opened in 1975, making it one of the oldest on the Costa. A par 3 course was added afterwards. In recent years a number of improvements have been made, such as the replanting of fairways and upgrades to the clubhouse. Please note that Aloha requires a maximum handicap of 24 for men and 28 for ladies, and is a soft spikes only course.

A peculiar characteristic of Aloha Golf is that all the holes have been given apt names in Euskadi (the language of the Basque region of northern Spain). For instance, the second hole is called ‘uresandi’ meaning lots of water, while the third is named ‘Los Olivos’ meaning olive trees.

One of the most difficult holes at Aloha, and certainly not one for beginners, is the par 5 first hole, with a dog-leg to the left. The second hole has many hazards, with a line of trees on the left, water and rough to the right and, in front of the green, a huge bunker. The tenth (par 5) is a long and tight hole with a tricky green and is another with a large water hazard. Other difficult holes include the 12th (par 4) and the18th (par 4), both with undulating greens. In summary, Aloha is a challenging course which requires a lot of concentration and a cool head, and where no two holes are the same.

Facilities
