About La Zagaleta Golf Club
This isn't millionaires golf, it is zillionaires golf. La Zagaleta Golf Club is a very private golf club set above Marbella. There are two 18 hole courses, but only the New Course is available to non-members. With only 200 members at the club, the New course is never busy.
The New Course has been open for 20 years but only became available to visitors in 2021. From the meet and greet complete with the goodie bag to the spectacular layout this is a real treat, though it comes at a price. The course is set up in the hills with lots of elevated tees, but some of the very clever holes pave their way through the valley. The par threes give you plenty of opportunity for points but others may not be that easy to come by. Book a morning tee time to make the most of your experience.
The peace is only broken occasionally by the sighting of a pheasant, a deer, buck or mouflon, permanent residents in La Zagaleta.

Our take
It's zillionaires' golf, and with 200 members, visitor play only allowed since 2021 and a New Course you will often have to yourselves, it is hard to argue.
- Serious golfersBradford Benz's New Course gets all the space a 200 member club can give it, and with barely any wind up here the course you see is the course you get. You may not pass another group all round.
- CouplesThe meet and greet, the goodie bag, the sense of playing somewhere most visitors never will: if one round of the trip should feel like an occasion, make it this one.
- Buddy tripsBook it as the marquee round of a Costa del Sol week. It is flat enough to walk without complaint, the New Course is never busy, and the clubhouse stories write themselves.

The wind. The wind is usually northerly, averaging 8 km/h. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.
