Aloha
Club de Golf Aloha is home to one of a strong triumvirate of golf courses in Nueva Andalucia (Las Brisas and Los Naranjos are the other two). The effect created by one of Spain's top golf course architects, Javier Arana, is rather akin to a typical English parkland course. However, many of the trees here are of a decidedly more exotic nature, and the mountainous backdrop of La Concha looks somewhat drier than the Pennines.
Laid out over gently undulating terrain, there are a few tight drives to make, some blind shots to rather small greens and ever present trees and foliage lining the fairways. Add in a few water features on different parts of the course and a good level of bunkering, and it all combines to provide a challenging test of golf in a very pleasant Spanish parkland setting.
Aloha is a private club, which permits a limited amount of outside visitor play on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: men 25.7; women 32.7.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

Aloha has hosted several top-level tournaments, including the Spanish Amateur Championship (1978), Spain v England amateur match (1993) and more recently the European PGA Tour's Open de Andalucía (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Aloha).
