Marbella Golf & Country Club, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1989, occupies gently rolling terrain in the hills above the Costa del Sol resort town of Marbella. The course sits inland from the Mediterranean coastline, offering views toward the sea and the surrounding Andalusian landscape. Jones, known for his strategic design philosophy and emphasis on target golf, routed the course to take advantage of the natural elevation changes and incorporated his characteristic large, contoured greens and strategically placed bunkers. The layout plays through a mix of pine and olive trees, with fairways that demand accurate placement from the tee. Water comes into play on several holes, and the green complexes require careful approach work, reflecting Jones's preference for rewarding precise shot-making. The course measures over 6,000 meters from the back tees and provides a variety of hole lengths and angles, with doglegs and elevation shifts that add dimension to club selection and strategy. Marbella Golf & Country Club serves both members and visiting golfers in a region dense with golf courses. The club operates within the broader Marbella tourism and residential community, where golf is a central amenity. The course remains one of the established Jones designs on the Costa del Sol, part of the architect's extensive portfolio of international work during the latter decades of his career.
