Top hint for this course

We've got a tip for you to ace the 14th. Favour the right side of the fairway, as the entire left side is out-of-bounds. The approach is also downhill, so hit a smaller club than usual to avoid the back bunker.

Course Top Tip

Overview

This championship loop has hosted plenty of tournaments, so it's the crown jewel of Villa Padierna's three tracks.

Lots of natural hazards feature on the fairways. From the strategically placed sand bunkers to the large bodies of water, this round is no walk in the park.

Who will come out on top and win your own European Tour?

Course

On the 1st, take advantage of the slope and favour the left side of the fairway-it will push the ball to the centre. The second shot is blind, so plan the approach carefully.

The 7th, a par-4, is a risk-reward scenario. If you fancy your chances as a big hitter, the green is reachable in one. Those with a shorter drive should consider the bunkers halfway and those dotted around the dancefloor.

At the end of the front nine, it gets tricky. Don't bottle it before the final nine! This par-4 is reachable in one; favour the left to avoid the water. Choose your club carefully-distance is vital here to avoid the bunkers.

Hole 12 is a par-3 that demands accuracy. Yes, there's only one hazard, but the green is harder to hit than you think.

What a finisher. This par-4 demands one hell of a tee shot without sacrificing accuracy. Anything wayward will hit the water, so favour accuracy and bring that trophy home to its rightful owner.

Clubhouse

This luxurious 19th hole guarantees the ultimate spot to unwind and celebrate after a killer round.

The food and beverages are spot-on, from the tasty breakfast before a round to the clubhouse menu classics to refuel after walking the fairways.

Head out to the terrace, top up your tan, and sip a well-earned ice-cold pint.

The Location

On the cusp of Marbella, you're in an iconic golf holiday location.

As you're surrounded by plenty of hotels, with a range for all budgets, sorting a place to stay is an absolute cinch.

You're also just 2.6km away from the local beach. It's perfect for drinks, sunbathing, or recovering from the heavy night before.

On top of this, Puerto Banus is 11.1km away. If you're looking for bouncing and extravagant nightlife, then look no further than Marbella's world-famous party strip.

Malaga Airport is 69.9km, so it will take around an hour to arrive. Just hop in a taxi and you'll be hitting the opening tee shot of the holiday ASAP.
