Designed by Scottish Tom Simpson, famous for his golfing layouts at Tumberry and Mairfield, the Costa's oldest course was opened by the Spanish Royal Family in 1925. The course is part links with seawater lagoons, and part parkland with the fairways forming avenues between the trees which are home to flocks of colourful para keets.
The Parador Málaga de Golf hosted the Turespaña Masters Open de España in 1992 and 1999, which were won by Vijay Singh and Miguel Angel Jiménez. The course measures 6.204 metres in length and is suitable for players of all levels of ability, though some holes present a real challenge. At the 12th, for example, a perfect drive is required in order to reach the green in two and avoid the eucalyptus grove on the right. Guests staying at the adjoining Parador, part of the state-owned hotel chain, can play 50% green fee between November and February.
