Doña Julia Golf Course

Doña Julia Golf Resort is located in Estepona, just a short drive away from the Marinas of Sotogrande, Duquesa, Estepona and Puerto Banus. This is a newly constructed golf course which makes the most of the natural landscape of the area, notable for its wonderful views of the Mediterranean. It was designed by highly-acclaimed Malagan architect, Antonio Garcia Garrido, responsible for some of Spain most distinctive golf courses.

The course, 18 holes, par 72 and 6.100 metres long, has been built according to United States Golf Association (USGA) rules and regulations with regard to the tees, bunkers, drainage and greens. The most outstanding feature of this course however, constructed by Grupo Evamaria, is the spacious feel of the greens with an average area of 700m2.

The course contains two very varied layouts, being suitable for all types of player. The first 9 holes are longer and more difficult, winding between indigenous trees, lakes and rivers, while the other nine holes, next to the sea and with mild inclines, represent a more comfortable round; a challenge both for professional and low-handicap players.
