About La Duquesa Golf

Designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Sr., this 18-hole, par-72 course wrapped around El Hacho hill offers a masterful layout that perfectly blends the local Andalusian landscape with the refreshing breezes of the Mediterranean Sea. The course presents an intriguing duality, dividing its challenge neatly between the front and back nine. The front nine requires extreme precision with its narrow fairways and elevated greens reminiscent of an English style, while the back nine opens up to broader, more forgiving fairways. Panoramic Views: Notable vantage points offer players stunning expansive views extending all the way across the sea to the African continent and neighboring Marbella. The 17th Hole: The standout signature hole is a short par-three (just 129 meters) that drops 30 meters straight down from tee to green, forcing players to carefully calculate heavy coastal winds. Natural Elements: The course features difficult roughs, strategically placed greenside bunkers, and hundreds of olive trees, concluding with an 18th hole bordered by a large pond populated by local waterfowl.
