La Duquesa, Costa Del Sol

[Cheifi0]

Hi

I am going on a winter break to the Costa del Sol in Feb next year. Since we a are on a bit of a budget found this place for 150 euros for a week unlimited play. Was just wondering if anyone had played this course and what your thoughts are on it?

Has no one played it?

At €150 unlimited golf I'd say it must be a field but hope Im wrong.

Not played it, but do know it is very hilly, tight, big doglegs, and some blind tee shots. Think you need a buggy to get round so worth checking out the cost of one. Actually that is probably why I haven't played it. Reviews I have read seem to say it is not bad, great views and clubhouse, and for the money looks a bargain.

I play at the two courses by the Royal Flamingos hotel, which are superb, but are more expensive.

I stayed right across the road from La Duquesa a couple of years ago..... but didn't play it.

We played a place called something like Don Juan, this was OK, if you like your golf course lined by half finished apartments. Also Alcaidesa links, I liked this course, it had lovely views and a top clubhouse. However that doesn't help you much.

La Duquesa looks at Richard described, in good nick, tight and hilly.

I like the area, I had a cracking night out in Estapona and met a lovely Argentinian florist.

Thanks for the replies. Just got an email back from the course and they said that that price includes buggy hire as well! Awesome. I am not expecting it to be on par quality wise with some of the other courses in that area but can always play a one off round at a top end course. As long as its equivalent to a decent muni I will be happy. Just can't wait to go.

It's a Robert Trent Jones designed, so it is going to be a good one...no idea about the condition though, but at that price, dunno. Actually just looked and the normal price for 2 is 90€, which is about normal...so you could get lucky!
