Estepona Golf |
Estepona offers two superb golf courses: the Estepona Golf Club and the Los Flamingos Golf & Country Club. From the centre of the town it only takes a short 15 minute drive to get to both.
Estepona Golf Club in Estepona:
 The course can be found on the right side (coming from Marbella) of the coastal road, at only 1.5 km from the centre of the town of Estepona. It was inaugurated in 1989 and designed by the famous Jose Luis Lopez.
It fits wonderfully in the Mediterranean landscapes as it has the Sierra Bermeja mountains as its backdrop. From many parts of the golf course you can also enjoy magnificent views of the sea. It is a course for all players, from beginners to the more advanced golfer as it offers large greens and wide fairways as well as one or the other challenge.

Los Flamingos Golf & Country Club:
 This truly stunning course opened in 2001 and therefore belongs to the younger golf courses in the area. It can be easily accessed from the N340 road which connects Malaga with Estepona, Marbella and San Pedro de Alcántara where the course is located.
As the Los Flamingos Golf & Country Club is situated on a hill, golfers can enjoy great views of the shores of Africa, Gibraltar and the sea.
