Set just east of the town, Higueron Marbella Golf Resort offers a challenging and varied layout on the Costa del Sol. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr and opened in 1989, this par-72 course is laid out across rolling terrain with notable elevation changes and a series of natural valleys shaping many of the holes.

Fairways can be tight in places, placing an emphasis on accuracy from the tee, while well-guarded greens demand a precise approach. The exposed setting also means wind can influence play, particularly on the higher ground. For those planning a golf break in Marbella, it provides a scenic and testing round close to the coast.
