Information about Dona Julia Golf Course on the Costa del Sol, Spain
Dona Julia Golf on the Costa del Sol has only been opened since January 2006.
Located in Casares on the Costa del Sol Golf, which is 88 km from Malaga and 50 km from Gibraltar. Situated just 150 metres from the beach and surrounded on all sides by nature, and for a course so young in construction, it has matured superbly and is in excellent condition throughout. It has two different layouts and will entertain high handicappers as well as true golf professionals.
As for the golf course itself, it was designed by the renowned Malaga architect Antonio Garcia Garrido, the creator of several prestigious golf courses and is notable for the way it blends in with the natural landscape of the area and the wonderful Mediterranean views it offers.
The first 9 holes are longer and perhaps more difficult winding between indigenous trees, lakes and rivers, whilst the other 9 holes are perhaps more manageable with a gentle incline. The main feature of almost every hole is the spaciousness of the greens, which have an average area of 700 square metres! Our advice would be to take advantage of the buggies that are available, as this is not a true walking course due mainly to the distances between greens and tees.
At the moment there is a temporary club- house and pro-shop but that and all the ongoing development, does not detract from the facilities on offer at the moment.
You will certainly be made very welcome at Dona Julia Golf and you cannot help but enjoy your round here.
