I have not found much information about golf on your site. We are coming to Marbella for 2 weeks with a 9 year old boy. Is there any place for him to take golf lessons?

Golf in Marbella with children
by: Marbella Family

As Marbella is certainly one of the golf meccas of the world there are a million and one places to play golf here. We are not golfers ourselves, so haven´t posted anything on golf yet in Marbella and can´t give you a personal recommendation. However, I suggest you play golf near where you are staying. Where will you be spending your holiday?

Our friends are golfers and their daughter is quite good now. She´s been playing for four years at Aloha Golf Club in Nueva Andalucia not far from Puerto Banus, which is very central. Usually Aloha Golf club is open only to members and accept non-members from May to September. However, with the crisis ensuing here they are willing to accept non-members off season. Aloha Golf Club charges 120 euros for playing 28 holes. Their hours run approximately from 8:00am - 3:00pm, but this changes depending on the time of year. You would need to make a reservation regardless. They speak English.

Aloha Golf Club also has a children´s club where kids can play on a 9 hole golf course with an instructor. The age for this runs from approximately 6 years old and costs 25 euros for half an hour and 50 euros for an hour. The golf school is open from 9:00am - 2:00pm, closes for a break and re-opens from 4:00pm - 6:00pm, however I imagine this might change as well according to season. For more information you may contact the Aloha Golf Club at +34 952 812 388. The children´s golf school and golf shop is +34 952 814 755.

We also have friends who play golf in Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club with their two sons aged 11 and 7. This course is located in the mountains about 15 minutes from Puerto Banus. Their children take lessons and are very happy with their teacher. His name is Miguel and can be contacted at +34 626 434 018. You may also contact him at may.parrado@hotmail.com. If you need more information about Los Arqueros Golf and Country Club call +34 952 784 600.

Good luck and have fun golfing!

Adam Freeman Golf Academy
by: Marbella Family

One more recommendation:

My friend´s brother is an instructor who teaches at various golf courses in Marbella and has his own academy called the Adam Freeman Golf Academy. He´s taught a couple of kids at our school and they seemed to be happy. He teaches adults and children everything from putting, chipping, swinging and course management. If you are coming during the summer months (July - October) he organizes a summer camp for kids which costs 199 euros for 5 days of golf (3 hours a day) Monday through Friday. In addition he offers packages in golf teaching holidays, golf rehabilitation, and masterclasses.

Adam can organize play at Marbella Golf and Country Club, Santa Clara Golf Club (Marbella), Aloha Golf Club (Marbella) or La Resina Golf and Country Club in Estepona (20 - 30 minutes west of Marbella). For more information you may contact Adam at +34 656 321 139 or send him an email at info@adamfreemangolfacademy.com.
