Glad you enjoyed it. Out of those only played Los Noranjos which I think is my favourite course ever played.

We used clubstohire at Malaga airport and couldn't have been easier. Good modern clubs for 50 Euros saved me £50 to £100 for a travel carrier, £60 for air carriage and most importantly the worry that my own clubs got lost or damaged.

Stayed in the area last year and played :- Estepona - A nice little budget course. Alcaidesa - Pleasant track but never really warmed to the course despite all of the recommendations. Los Noranjos - Best course I've ever played. Buggies and clubhouse great. Course very picturesque, interesting...

Thanks gents. I probably overstated the "not too challenging" bit. Just don't want to sicken my son. A couple of the courses we played in July required a fair carry before reaching the fairway which meant that unless he caught it reasonably a few of holes were over before they had begun (though...

My Dad, Son and I have booked a week in March 16 staying at La Torre Golf Resort in Murcia for seven days. I stayed there in July with the family and (braving the blistering heat) played the course most mornings and (despite it being a short track) really enjoyed it. I think we will end up...

Tanks simply and I'm sure your right. What will probably work for me is with having three family members with me (two of whom are non golfers) is that me and my son can get a few rounds in without "disappearing" for the day. Also if starting at the ungodly hour of 7am is the best option, being...

Thanks for everyone's comments. Found something which I think fits and offers enough flexibility if it does turn out to be too hot. Looking to rent a villa at La Torre Golf a Resort, Polaris World, Murcia, Spain. A friend has been and recommends it as a nice place for a holiday (and he doesn't...

You live and learn Bobmac. I would have thought that in recording a handicap lower than your actual handicap would still be wrong though apparently not.

Can you Bobmac? I presumed your handicap is your handicap. My issue was 20 years ago so no longer relevant.

Don't think I did declare it when I put the cards in to be fair but I definately did bring it up with him when I went back to him to say 27 was fat too high.

Bandits are as often than not players whose game is coming together quicker than the handicap system can keep up. Reminds me of an awful situation I was in many years ago. I got down to 9 as a "youngster". Then I gave up after moving about a bit before retuning to the game at a different course...

Thanks fellas. Still desperately trying to persuade myself it'll be alright. Played today in 21 degrees which was jolly pleasant. Just not sure how doable it would be in an extra 10 degrees heat! Don't want to build the family hol round me and my son getting two or three rounds in and not...

Hi. I am looking to go on a one week golfing holiday around 20th July. I went to Andalucia Spain inApril, had a great time and would love to go back. I'm a little unsure if it would be too hot to do this again in July. How hot is too hot to play golf? Has anybody played golf in Spain at this...

Was about to pay £50 for a cover and then £60 for return carriage. Became uneasy reading some horror stories about broken drivers before realising that the company I was hiring the car from would hire me the latest clubs for c.£40 per week. Save £50 and not have to worry about damaging my...

Yes speaking to Gemma who has been very helpful (and patient) - wouldn't hesitate to recomend. All booked now so will leave well alone though La Canada was on my shortlist. Also La Cala has changed to the Americas course. Hope to make this an annual event and if so will try La Canada next year...
