La Zagaleta Country Club - La Zagaleta Course, Private golf course in Benahavís, Spain.
La Zagaleta Country Club is a private golf facility in Benahavís with two courses spread across a protected nature reserve. Both layouts contain 18 holes set among pine forests with views toward the surrounding mountains and Gibraltar.
The first course opened in 1991, while a second course was added about a decade later. This expansion allowed the club to welcome more golfers while respecting the protected woodland setting.
The name comes from traditional Andalusian shepherding culture, a heritage reflected in the landscape design and architectural details throughout the grounds. This connection to local history shapes how the place looks and feels today.
The location sits on rolling terrain with multiple pathways between fairways, requiring attention when navigating the grounds. Plan for variable weather conditions as the elevation influences wind patterns and temperature throughout the day.
The two courses were designed by different renowned architects, each bringing its own style and challenge to the layout. This variety means members can enjoy two entirely different playing experiences without leaving the property.
