The elevated tee on the 13th gives Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club one of its defining moments. This par 5 asks for a committed strike into a hole with danger on both sides, while clear days bring the Mediterranean, Africa and the Atlas Mountains into view. Designed by Seve Ballesteros, the 6,234 yard, par 71 layout follows the folds of the Benahavís hills rather than forcing a route across them. Water appears at key points and fairways can tighten quickly, so placement from the tee matters more than trying to overpower the course.
The stretch from the sixth to the eighth is known at the club as its Amen Corner. The sixth is a lengthy, narrow par 5, then the seventh presents a fairway only around 30 metres wide, demanding a controlled tee shot before the round moves on. The 12th, another elevated par 4, leads into the memorable 13th and makes this section particularly rewarding for golfers who enjoy shaping shots and choosing a sensible target. Before teeing off, there is a driving range, putting greens, a chipping green and practice bunkers, enough space to sharpen the parts of the game the course is likely to test.
After the round, the terrace, bar and restaurant provide an easy place to sit over a drink, with a gym, beauty salon, padel and tennis also on site. The billiard room opens daily from 18:00 until 23:00, while free parking keeps the practical side straightforward. Benahavís is close by for an evening away from the club, and Marbella’s beaches, restaurants and hotels are within the surrounding area.
