Santana Golf club
Santana Golf & Country Club is an 18 Hole golf course par 72 of approx. 6203 metres (just under 7000 yards) in length, set in 138 acres of picturesque parkland. The golf course, sympathetically laid out by the architect Cabell B. Robinson, is set in a former avocado plantation. The final result is a magnificent course with wide and well defined fairways on level terrain, hence easily walkable, where water features play an important albeit not excessive part in the overall design. Each hole has two championship tees and two tees for general play for both men and ladies– wide and well manicured putting greens surrounded by strategically placed bunkers, filled with sand produced from crushed marble. Buggy paths are provided throughout the golf course, beautifully integrated between the rows of fruit trees. Santana Golf course is technically speaking a demanding golf course as the unique design of each hole is intended to give a continuous challenge, even for the more experienced player. The layout of the greens, well protected by greenside bunkers, as well as the many water hazards spread throughout the golf course, will challenge every golfer and require good course management as well as the use of every golf club in the bag. It is difficult to speak of a signature hole at Santana Golf as they all have something special to offer. The long Par-4 18th is one of the most demanding finishing holes along the coast according to the designer, with the lake along the right hand side and a narrow approach to the green. The 4th hole can only be defined with one word: spectacular. The views from the tee are magnificent and the ‘Campillos’ stream provides a challenging approach to the green; or what about the 8th hole, with a length of 595 metre (650 yards) considered to be the longest hole of the Costa del Sol and favouring the longer hitter; not to forget the 12th Par 3, playing downhill, with a very large undulating green, many a golfer would be happy to walk away with a three here... One of the most outstanding features of Santana Golf is without a doubt the variety in design, as each and every hole is differentiated by its own characteristics.

On arrival I was warmly welcomed by all staff, buggy master, caddy master & admin. I even got out before my allocated tee time. It was all going do smoothly then the brakes came on. 1.5 hrs later I'd played 4 holes. As I kept running into the couple in front at each tee, they asked me to join up. Couldn't tell where the slow play was coming from but failed to see any course ranger checking.
Anyway, Santana is a beautifully manicured course, quality receptive greens stimp at about 11-12. Wide fairways, grit rock sand bunkers are very consistent. Relatively small clubhouse but it's got everything, restaurant had an expansive menu and it was busy.
All in all enjoyed my round at Santana and would definitely go back, but with an earlier tee time. Slow play is killing golf.

Decent course, poor facilities. No range is a handicap.
Marshall wanted to directly put us on yellow tees due to slow play. He didnt give a notice earlier. He also drove past our group although we were just about to hit.
