Monte Mayor - Marbella

Monte Mayor is one of the most spectacular golf course in Andalucia. Getting there is an adventure in itself, for the course is up in the mountain of Benahavis. Turn off the coastal highway between San Pedro and Estepona at the Cancelada exit, follow the signpost inland and upward for about seven kilometres. Your patience will be well rewarded. It is a challenging course.

The tees at the long 4th hole are on a raised platform and your drive must land on an isolated plateau. Your second shot must be aimed at yet another plateau. Your second shot must be aimed at yet another plateau. Beside the green is a beautiful cascading waterfall.
