Nearby Golf

NH Collection Marbella is perfectly positioned for golfers looking to experience some of Golf Escapes’ featured courses across Marbella and the Costa del Sol. From classic championship layouts to scenic resort courses, there’s an excellent choice of golf within easy reach of the hotel.

Rio Real Golf Course (6 km | 10 minutes)
Designed by renowned Spanish architect Javier Arana, Rio Real is one of Marbella’s most established courses. Following the Río Real towards the Mediterranean, it combines mature tree-lined fairways with immaculate conditioning and attractive sea views.

Santa Clara Golf Marbella (9 km | 15 minutes)
An enjoyable 18-hole championship course featuring generous fairways, well-maintained greens and beautiful mountain views. Its forgiving layout makes it suitable for golfers of all abilities while still providing an engaging test.

Santa María Golf & Country Club (13 km | 20 minutes)
Set among cork oak woodland in Elviria, Santa María pairs an attractive tree-lined layout with a beautiful 19th-century Andalusian clubhouse. The gently undulating front nine gives way to a more challenging back nine, creating an enjoyable and varied round.

Cabopino Golf Marbella (15 km | 20 minutes)
One of the Costa del Sol’s most memorable courses, Cabopino is renowned for its dramatic elevation changes and spectacular Mediterranean views. Although relatively short, its sloping fairways and well-protected greens reward careful course management.

Calanova Golf Club (18 km | 25 minutes)
Nestled in the hills above La Cala de Mijas, Calanova offers a relaxed resort-style golfing experience with generous fairways, wide greens and sweeping views across the surrounding countryside and coastline.

Marbella Club Golf Resort (20 km | 25 minutes)
Designed by Dave Thomas and set in the hills of Benahavís, Marbella Club Golf Resort is an exclusive championship course offering immaculate conditioning, limited daily tee times and spectacular views stretching across the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and the African coastline.

Higuerón Golf (30 km | 30 minutes)
Designed by Severiano Ballesteros, Higuerón Golf is a distinctive 9-hole, par-36 course that makes clever use of its rolling hillside setting. Strategic bunkering, water hazards and panoramic views combine to create an enjoyable challenge that many golfers choose to play twice for a full 18-hole experience.

What to Do Off the Fairways

Spend an afternoon exploring the whitewashed streets and flower-filled squares of Marbella Old Town, enjoy a walk along the seafront promenade or browse the designer boutiques and luxury marina of Puerto Banús.

Marbella is also renowned for its restaurants, tapas bars, beach clubs and nightlife, giving both golfers and non-golfers plenty to enjoy away from the course.

When to Go

Marbella is a strong year-round golf destination, although spring and autumn generally offer the most comfortable conditions for a full day on the fairways.

The mild winter climate makes the Costa del Sol a popular choice for escaping colder UK weather, while summer is best suited to early tee times followed by an afternoon beside the pool or on the beach.
