Arcos Gardens was designed specifically for an exclusive lifestyle in one of the lowest density luxury golf communities in Europe, with a superb Hotel and Spa thrown in for good measure.

The golf course sits amongst high quality residences, with equestrian and sailing facilities also on hand. In the heart of Western Andalucia, Arcos de la Frontera overlooks the most alluring of the pueblo blanco villages and is a gateway to the wonders of this rich and diverse region.

The Landmark Group designed the championship course and it marks the first development by them in Spain. They are known for their world-class golf courses, with five of them being in the top 100. The Arcos Gardens site is quite stunning with 360-degree views over the rolling countryside and the dramatic backdrop of Arcos de la Frontera.

As for the course itself, it is versatile enough to challenge even the top-level professionals and amateurs but user friendly enough to allow the handicap golfer to enjoy their round. It does not have to rely on long rough, as strategically located hazards are always in play. The course has wide, forgiving fairways but there is still a premium on accuracy, as bunkers do come in to play to make it an even greater challenge. The greens are of medium size with moderate but not severe contours. The designers have certainly put a lot of thought in to making this a good test of golf, without spoiling the natural contours and superb location.
