Marbella Golf y Country Club

Overview: Marbella Golf y Country Club is the directory identity for the 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Sr course east of Marbella, now presented by the operator as Higueron Marbella Golf Resort. The course is set among wooded hills rather than beside the resort coastline, so elevation changes, mature trees and changing views shape the round. The federation’s white-tee total is 5,867 metres, approximately 6,412 yards, and the layout is listed as par 72. The current name change is important for visitors searching for tee times or local information.

History: The course was developed in the late 1980s and is recorded by the federation under a 1994 foundation date. It belongs to the generation of Costa del Sol courses that brought championship-style golf into the hills around Marbella. Since November 2025 the resort has used the Higueron Marbella Golf Resort identity, while the directory’s historical name remains a useful alias for golfers who know the course as Marbella Golf & Country Club.

Did You Know? This is not the Marbella Club Golf Resort course, which is a different Dave Thomas layout. Keeping Robert Trent Jones Sr and the Higueron rebrand attached to this profile prevents a common destination-search mix-up between two Marbella-area courses.
