Monte Mayor Golf was designed by José Cancedo and opened in 1989.
This is a fantastic and challenging golf course, known as one of the most spectacular on the Costa del Sol. The course itself is surrounded by outstanding natural beauty, a valley in which the course appears to be clinging to the slopes of Monte Mayor (Big Mountain, in English). The ruins of a 10th Century Moorish Fort, crown the summit.
The grass used for the Monte Mayor Fairways are is Bermuda 419. The Driving Range is breathtaking and buggies are included with the Green Fee. What’s more, if you’re looking for a course played by the pros, Alex Cejka has spent much time practicing on this course and has very much enjoyed working on his shots at Monte Mayor. Hardly surprpising, he is also the course record holder with a score of just 66.
Monte Mayor is frequently voted into the Top 5 courses as a “must play” course, so don’t miss it!
Here is a round of of Monte Mayor’s Signature Holes:
Hole 3:
Par 3 – 165 m from the yellow tees (193m from the white tees).
Probably one of the best Par 3’s on the Costa del Sol. Very intimidating, but a good shot slightly on the right of the pin will take you safely home. If not, dropping zone, close to the green …
Hole 4:
Par 5 – 419m from yellow tees (425m from the white tees).
A drive then a dilemma: do you go for the green - Glory or Misery - or do you lag your second shot on to the intermediary plateau? Then, to go to the green, you will pass across a lovely rustic bridge and discover the glorious water-fall cascading over natural marble stone …
Hole 13:
Par 4 – 284m from the yellow tees (291m from the white tees).
An short Par 4, but the elevated tee offers you a panoramic view over the course and out to the sea - Simply astounding!
Again – Monte Mayor is one course not to be missed when golfing on the Costa del Sol.
