Designed by Javier Arana and opened in 1965 Rio Real Golf Club is a fantastic 18 hole championship lengthcourse on the outskirts of Marbella.
Certainly one of the most visually spectacular in the area the course is laid out in a beautiful valley with a wide variety of trees and offers stunning views down to the Mediterranean.
The Rio River crosses the course in several places and thedesignermade full use of itplusthe natural ravines to add visual interest andchallengeto the round. As well as the natural obstacles you must successfuly negotiate theman-madelakes and thenumerous strategically placed bunkers if you are to score well.
The front nine is quite tight and requires good shot making skills but the course does open up more on the back nine. However, even if you are not playing well the views from the course more than make up for a bad round.
Rio Real Golf Clubis a hidden gemthat can be found just minutes from the centre of Marbella.
