Los Naranjos Golf Club | |
Los Naranjos Golf Club I situated right in the middle of the wellknown Golf Valley of Marbella. Robert Trent Jones Senior designed and built the course in the middle of the 70´s and the beautiful club house was inaugurated in the end of 1991. A total length of more than 6.000 metres from the yellow tee, Par 72 , (and almost 6.500 metres from the white) makes Los Naranjos Golf course, a challenge not only for the average player but even for the very best professionals! Although the fairways, like the bunkers, are wide, it is not an easy round and you will need to hit long and accurate shots to continue to make par hole after hole.
There is a big difference between the first 9 holes and the back 9, so much so that you might almost think you were playing on two different courses. On the first 9 holes of Los Naranjos course, the fairways are quite wide though pretty uneven and both the trees and the water act as natural hazards. On the second stretch, the course is flatter and sown with orange trees ( naranjos in Spanish), so its not hard to guess where the club gets its name. |

| Patrizia's comment: |
Los Naranjos Golf is for me a course for golfers of all abilities and ages. It is notable for its design which is chiefly long, wide and relatively flat. | | |
