Such a prospect is by no means limited to active lovers of the game, as life in the lush green surroundings of a Costa del Sol golf course is so appealing that even non-players rank it right at the top of their property wish list.
Many a person in search of a Marbella apartment for sale or frontline golf villa – be it newly built or existing – will want nothing more than to find a beautiful home set within the leafy, private environs of a golf course, with stunning views over its fairways to mountains and the sea glistening in the sun.
Many of the best courses are in fact no more than five or ten minutes away from Marbella’s beaches, including the likes of Santa Clara, Aloha, Las Brisas, Los Naranjos, La Quinta, Atalaya, El Paraíso and Los Flamingos, while the courses of Guadalmina and Río Real even skirt the shoreline to provide spectacular views to accompany your seaside game of golf.
Each of the Marbella courses mentioned, and many more, is lined with stylish frontline golf villas and golf-fronting apartment complexes with wonderful front-row views of all that lush landscaped beauty flanked by wooded hills and distant views. The settings and course designs may vary considerably from one location to another, and in so doing offer many distinct ambiences, but the refinement, space and peace of living along the fairways is unmistakable in all.
Some properties even offer direct access to the course, complete with a special golf buggy ‘garage’ and sometimes even come with club membership included. The elegant clubhouses, moreover, are a social hub with attractive lounge and bar areas, panoramic terrace cafés, restaurants, pro shops, coaching, and sometimes even spas, gyms, beauty salons, driving ranges and golf academies.
It’s a privileged way of life that has become a part of the Marbella lifestyle, and adds to the value of golf properties marked by natural beauty, space, peace, privacy, exclusivity and wonderful views.
