Real Club de Golf El Candado: A Historic Golf Course in Málaga
The Real Club de Golf El Candado, located just minutes from the center of Málaga and close to the Mediterranean Sea, is a unique golf course on the Costa del Sol that has left its mark on the history of golf in the region.
The Golf Course
The Real Club de Golf El Candado consists of nine holes and offers a course of over 2,300 meters. Nestled in a small valley, its long fairways are surrounded by abundant trees and beautiful vegetation. The greens are smooth and challenging due to their strategic locations and the terrain drops they present.
The course itself is a par 33 nine-hole layout that is fun to play, allowing for 18 holes to be completed with a par of 64. This makes it an ideal choice for those starting to play golf. The greens, though somewhat small, offer interesting lines of play.
Challenging and Exciting Layout
The El Candado golf course in Málaga offers a challenging and exciting layout that has been visited by numerous professionals and golf enthusiasts over the years.
Each hole has its own personality and requires strategic skills and precision from players. Notable holes include “El Olivo,” with its strategic obstacles and captivating green, and “El Lobo,” an uphill par 3 with a small ravine and a challenging bunker.
The layout is tricky and short, with uneven terrain. Technique is required more than strength to overcome the challenges presented. Hole 4, a par 5, is especially complex due to its leftward curve, making it difficult to play from the tee to the green.
A Landmark in Málaga
It holds a prominent place in the history of golf in Málaga, thanks to its privileged location and commitment to excellence. Both golf enthusiasts and those seeking an exceptional sports environment will find in this club a place to live unforgettable experiences and enjoy top-notch facilities.
Visited by numerous professionals and golf lovers, the course has been described by Manolo Lucas, a veteran of the club, as “a course with many obstacles, but not difficult, where the player’s mindset must focus on precision.”
