La Resina Golf & Country Club

This is considered one of the best 9-hole par-3 and 4 courses on the Costa del Sol due to its abundant, semi-tropical gardens and the landscaping that makes good use of natural contours. Designed with care by Craig Cooke and Bradley Smith, the course was opened in 2005 and has an attractive layout that weaves around lakes and ancient olive trees. The tees are kept immaculate and the slightly undulating fairways and greens are maintained to a very high standard indeed.
