Monte
Mayor is one of the most spectacular golf courses in Andalucía.
Getting there is an adventure in itself, for the course is up
in the mountains of Benahavis. Turn off the coastal highway between
San Pedro and Estepona at the Cancelada exit, follow the signposts
inland and upwad for about seven kilometres. Your patience will
be well rewarded.
It is a challenging course. The tees at the long 4th hole are
on a raised platform and your drive must land on an isolated plateau.
Beside the green is a beautiful cascading waterfall. At the 18th
the tees are set on three levels, from which there are fabulous
views across a shallow river to the green 140 metres away. The
estate's residential development, being carried out by La Perla
Developers is now underway with land plots and villas available.
