Santana Golf Club
Santana Golf & Country Club is an 18 Hole golf course par 72 of approx. 6203 metres (just under 7000 yards) in length, set in 138 acres of picturesque parkland. The golf course, sympathetically laid out by the architect Cabell B. Robinson, is set in a former avocado plantation. The final result is a magnificent course with wide and well defined fairways on level terrain, hence easily walkable, where water features play an important albeit not excessive part in the overall design. Each hole has two championship tees and two tees for general play for both men and ladies– wide and well manicured putting greens surrounded by strategically placed bunkers, filled with sand produced from crushed marble. Buggy paths are provided throughout the golf course, beautifully integrated between the rows of fruit trees. Santana Golf course is technically speaking a demanding golf course as the unique design of each hole is intended to give a continuous challenge, even for the more experienced player. The layout of the greens, well protected by greenside bunkers, as well as the many water hazards spread throughout the golf course, will challenge every golfer and require good course management as well as the use of every golf club in the bag. It is difficult to speak of a signature hole at Santana Golf as they all have something special to offer. The long Par-4 18th is one of the most demanding finishing holes along the coast according to the designer, with the lake along the right hand side and a narrow approach to the green. The 4th hole can only be defined with one word: spectacular. The views from the tee are magnificent and the ‘Campillos’ stream provides a challenging approach to the green; or what about the 8th hole, with a length of 595 metre (650 yards) considered to be the longest hole of the Costa del Sol and favouring the longer hitter; not to forget the 12th Par 3, playing downhill, with a very large undulating green, many a golfer would be happy to walk away with a three here... One of the most outstanding features of Santana Golf is without a doubt the variety in design, as each and every hole is differentiated by its own characteristics.

Disappointing but understandable that buggies only on paths, but course was in good condition and the staff are always welcoming. Food and hospitality were excellent.

In comparison to other close by golf courses Santana is relatively flat. I enjoyed the large number of parrots/parakeets on one side of the course and the large number of avocado trees on the other side of the course. Quality of the course is good. When I played only the bunkers were rockhard. Also enjoyed the food and the wine in the clubhouse.

A nice parkland course that´s walkable. Interesting layout and good greens. Sometimes the pin position is absolutely unfair. It seems, as if the whole club is a bit worn out. Rotten buggies, no water in the ball-washer, a lot of stones in the bunkers, no water bottles from the starter. It´s very overpriced at the moment. 70€ would be ok, 120€ is a bad joke. That was our first and last visit.

Santana is a beautiful course, it was a bit dry, but hey what can they do... before us, there were some very slow flights, so the round lasted too long at the end.

Im Gegensatz zu vielen Plätzen an der Costa del Sol hat Santana ein eher flaches Design mit Tour- Charakter. Die großen Grüns sind mit einer Vielzahl von Bunkern gut verteidigt und etliche Schräglagen erfordern gut überlegte Landepunkte . Ein Cart ist nicht zwingend, aber für das Spieltempo zu empfehlen.

It’s a very nice course, generally well kept and nice and open. We were a 4 ball and we all enjoyed the round. One thing that did upset us was the controlling of tee times. The 2 ball behind us were released 30 mins early straight behind us and so we felt under pressure from the start. We let them play through only to have another 4 ball race up behind us, and again they were aggressively pressurising our game to the point that it became intimidating, and it spoilt out round from there in.
The staff are very nice, the restaurant food is excellent, but in our opinion they let too many players on too quickly and with a lack of observing tee times.
Tee Times reply: Hello Roger Thanks for your feedback. A golf round in Iberia is supposed to take between 4 hours 20 minutes and 4 hours 45 minutes with 8 to 10 minutes interval. Sorry if you felt unconfortable.
