Aloha Golf Club
Aloha Golf Club · Andalucía, Málaga
Por Top 100 Golf Courses ·
There are at least twenty top class golf courses laid out like pearls on a necklace along an eighty-mile stretch of the Costa del Sol between Malaga and San Roque. Created in 1975 at the start of the Spanish golf course development boom, Club de Golf Aloha has remained one of Spain’s top tracks for more than forty years and it’s set in the heart of the country’s golfing Mecca.
The well known course architect Javier Arana is credited with the design but Enrique Canales must also take some of the plaudits for a great layout as he actually completed the course due to the untimely death of Arana before Aloha Golf Club opened – the 18 holes had their greens seeded and bunkers had been set out but they were without drainage and sand so Canales finished off the work.
Immaculately maintained, the course has a par of 72 and an overall length of 6,900 yards so don’t believe other course reviews that say Aloha is not a long course – it certainly is off the back markers! Length is not the only factor hindering a good score here – the holes are laid out on hilly, sometimes tight terrain – with several blind approaches to greens. The many multi-tiered putting surfaces will also test your putting to the limit.
