Open since April 2001 and perched among umbrella pines above the marina of the same name, Cabopino Golf is Marbella's 12th golf course. Short but sweet is the way to describe Cabopino, which offers three par-3s, two par-5s and 13 par-4s in its 5,170-metre layout. The course is irrigated with recycled water and lakes affect play on the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th holes. The course offers a stiff challenge for high handicap players, who will be rewarded as they use all the clubs in the bag. Low handicappers will have to take risks if they want good results. The greens are large and in excellent condition. After its first three years Cabopino Golf, also the official custom-fitting centre for Titelist and Cobra golf clubs, is rapidly becoming one of the most sought after and most popular courses in the Marbella area.
