During a clear day it is possible to see all the African coast as well as Gibraltar from La Duquesa golf course. In terms of facilities it is the most complete club on the Costa del Sol offering tennis and squash courses, gym, sauna, jacuzzi and yacht harbour. The 18 holes course was designed by Robert Trent Jones and it was opened in 1985. The first 9 holes, English-style, have high greens and narrow fairways. The latest holes are easier thanks to its wider fairways, though its greens are more difficult. To sum up, it is a narrow hilly course with very difficult tee shots.
