Located just 30 minutes from the Costa del Sol capital, in the eastern part of M\u00e1laga province, is a golfing jewel relatively unknown to many people: Baviera Golf, an 18-hole layout designed by Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Ca\u00f1izares in a privileged setting only 500 metres from the sea.<\/p>\n

his par-71 course is highlighted by its expansive greens and a diverse array of hazards that offer golfers great variety in their shot-making. A layout aimed at players of all handicaps while also providing an excellent challenge for professionals. Located in Caleta de V\u00e9lez, halfway between the picturesque municipality of Nerja – famous for its beaches and white-hued, Andalucian architectural-style streets – and M\u00e1laga, the course offers an ideal getaway for golfers enjoying a holiday on the Coast. <\/p>\n

The surrounding Mediterranean landscape provides an excellent setting for a second home for numerous tourists who opt for towns such as C\u00f3mpeta, Frigiliana and Torrox to spend long stays in winter and play golf. One reason why there is such a large community of British, German and Nordic visitors and residents. <\/p>\n

The majestic clubhouse, inaugurated in November 2008, includes amenities with every luxury detail, highlighted by spacious changing rooms, a pro shop and a restaurant with a terrace offering superb sea views.<\/p>\n

During the year this venue is chosen by many couples keen to hold their weddings in its stunning gardens; while another key attraction is its underground parking for 200 vehicles.<\/p>\n

In addition, Bavaria ensures that the course is kept in excellent condition throughout the year, thanks to the maintenance team’s hard work.<\/p>\n

This course, inaugurated with nine holes in 2000, opened a second nine in 2004. Baviera Golf, designed by former Ryder Cup star Ca\u00f1izares, is a flat course, fairly easy except for the greens (which are large, on average), 700 square meters with slopes and swales. The fairways are very forgiving, 80 to 90 meters wide and without climbs or drops. There are four lakes on the first nine, affecting the 3rd, 4th and 5th holes. The signature hole is the 4th, a par-5 of 500 meters where two lakes come into play. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4792,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[217,133,218],"class_list":["post-15184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-destinations","tag-andalucia-golf-en","tag-costa-del-sol-en","tag-golf-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
