La Cala Resort and Spa is the biggest golf complex in Spain and offers three superb 18 hole golf courses.

La Cala America Course (Par 73 - formerly North Course) is a very undulating and spectacular golf course with the course designed to use the natural features of the terrain to a challenging effect. Long drivers will have a distinct advantage as the course measures over 6,700 yards but they must to avoid the deep gorges lining the fairways.

La Cala Asia Course (Par 72 - formerly South Course) is somewhat flatter and an easier test of golf than the North course but still offers a challenge for all levels of golfer. On this tighter but slightly shorter golf course, accuracy is rewarded rather than the long drive. Golfers are rewarded for hitting irons off the tee as on many tee shots driver is not an option due to the small hitting areas.

The brand new Campo Europa Course (Par 71) will offer similar challenges to the other La Cala golf courses but is more suited to the average golfer. The fairways are far more generous from the tee and the greens are slightly larger than on the other two golf courses. The scenery is no less dramatic with the river Ojen playing a part in eight holes and cutting across three fairways.

In addition to the 54 holes of golf, there is also a recently renovated David Leadbetter Golf Academy. Practice facilities include a driving range and putting green with premium practice balls.

La Cala Resort and Spa is located near Marbella in the Costa del Sol and incorporates a luxury golf hotel and exclusive spa, real estate property developments with luxury homes, villas and apartments for sale and rent and three of the best golf courses on the Costa del Sol. La Cala's Hotel is ideally situated between the America and Asia golf courses. Designed in a traditional Andalusia style, it offers 107 outstanding rooms and breathtaking views of the South Course. Each bedroom offers all the facilities that come as standard with a five star hotel. Dining options include La Terraza, a splendid restaurant that offers a fine selection of national and international gastronomy.
