About this course

Lauro Golf sits in the hills northeast of Málaga, part of the broader Costa del Sol golf corridor that has developed since the mid-twentieth century. Designed by Italian architect Folco Nardi and opened in the 1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain with views toward the Mediterranean and the surrounding Andalusian landscape. Nardi, who worked on several Spanish courses during this period of resort development, routed the layout to incorporate the natural elevation changes and existing vegetation of the site. The course plays through a mix of olive and citrus groves characteristic of the region, with fairways that move across hillsides and through valleys. Water features appear on several holes, and the design emphasizes strategic bunkering around greens and landing areas. The routing takes advantage of the topography to create variety in hole length and shot requirements, with elevated tees and approach shots that demand accuracy given the sloped lies and green complexes. Lauro Golf serves both visitors to the Costa del Sol and local members, operating as part of the area's year-round golf tourism infrastructure. The climate allows play in most months, and the course is maintained to accommodate steady traffic typical of Mediterranean resort venues. The clubhouse offers standard amenities and dining, positioned to overlook the course and surrounding countryside.
