Its friendly family atmosphere is probably the main feature of this golf course. Located at 7 km from Malaga International Airport and inaugurated in 1990, it offers many additional features such as pools, tennis courts, paddle tennis, saunas and recreation area.

The design by Kosti Kuronen, clearly splits the course in two. The first nine has an English "parkland" type design, whereas the second has more elevated greens and hillier fairways, making play a little more difficult.

Guadalhorce golf course has a distinctly European feel about it, with its slightly rolling terrain and tricky greens, especially the long green at the 4th. On the back nine the layout is more American in style with lakes, tropical vegetation and raised greens.

Throughout the course many of the greens are extremely large, and in some cases they are shared between two holes, the 6th and the 8th, for example, also the 12th and 16th.
