Designed by Spain´s number one architect, Javier
Arana, Rio Real opened in 1965 and follows a wide
incline down towards the sea. Otherwise the course
is flat.
With wonderful views, well-established trees that
offer much appreciated shade, and the River Real
intersecting the course at various points golf here
is a very pleasant experience.
Holes 4 and 5 run close to the sea and are reached
by an underpass beneath the Malaga-Cadiz coast road.
The 6th, a par three requires a particularly
accurate tee shot to avoid the hillside on the right
whilst at the 8th, although it is not especially
difficult hole, one must avoid the bunkers which
protect a raised green.
The dogleg 10th is a pretty par four leading to a
spectacular 11th tee which looks down to a green
whose access lies across the river which gives the
course its name - Rio Real.
