Opened in 1965, designed by Javier Arana, this wonderful 18-hole par 72 golf course is set in a beautiful sloping valley just 3 km from Marbella city centre.
El Club de Golf Rio Real is in a marvellous location. The course slopes gently down to the sea and many of the holes provide magnificent views of the Mediterranean. The course crosses the Reo Real river four times which gives the Club and the Hotel their name. The fairways are not too generous but fair, the greens are quite flat, very well maintained and protected by the surrounding bunkers. The 4th is especially worth mentioning due to its fairway which runs down towards the beach.
The spectacular tee of the 11th gives you have a great view down onto the green which is situated on the other side of the river.
