The magnificent course of La Quinta Golf & Country Club once again lived up to expectations and highlighted its great quality to the participants in the last stage of the XIII Andalucía Golf Challenge-Destination PGA Riviera Maya Circuit.
The course was in perfect condition, both in terms of presentation and maintenance, with fast greens that were especially appreciated by the players. This design by Manuel Piñero and Antonio García Garrido is one of the magnificent golf courses located in Benahavís, which has the third largest number of courses of any municipality in Spain.
The morning threatened rain, but fortunately it did not appear during the competition. The tournament went at a very good pace and by 14.00 hours the awards ceremony had already taken place, preceded by refreshments served on the terrace of the club and presented by the director of La Quinta Golf, José Luis Gómez.
La Quinta Golf & Country Club is managed by the prestigious Marriott hotel chain.
