Marbella’s golfing lifestyle
January 19th 2015 | by Ginés GarcíaYou could be forgiven for thinking that summer is the most important time of year for visitors to Marbella. You’re right, of course, when it comes to the sun worshipping, beach loving crowd, but winter here is just as busy, albeit a time when the area is populated by a very different clientele.
Attracted by southern Spain’s mild autumns and winters, it is common for golfers to visit year after year. High season starts half way through September and continues on until the middle of May, when temperatures start to increase. The clubhouses really come to life during this period, with many hosting special golf tournaments, team weeks and dinners to welcome their regular players back for the start of the golfing season.
Those who take their golf seriously may play ‘back home’ in Northern Europe over the summer and then relocate to Marbella for several months at a time. For this reason,frontline golf properties are very popular in the Marbella area, where there are many different courses to choose from.
Marbella has its own Golf Valley, an area comprising a number of super high quality golf courses renowned for their challenging design, friendly clubhouses and fine dining restaurants – all within just a few kilometres of the renowned Puerto Banús. Golf La Quinta, Los Naranjos, Las Brisas, Aloha, La Dama de Noche and Magna Marbella bristle with activity from September onwards both out on the course and inside the clubhouse, where many offer additional activities such as bridge, dancing and fitness classes, as well as fundraising events.
Property styles differ greatly around the courses, with frontline golf apartments, townhouses and villas all available to those wanting to overlook the fairways and be close to the social activities offered by their favourite clubhouse.
For example, this unique seven-bedroom mansion with guest house is located frontline to Las Brisas Golf. It has been superbly renovated and boasts views of La Concha mountain, as well as stunning mature gardens, outside entertaining zone, underfloor heating, five car garage and separate staff quarters.
Frontline to Aloha Golf, this spacious two storey, three-bedroom townhouse with solarium is ideal for those looking for a property that they can lock up and leave, complete with well maintained community swimming pool and gardens. Its stylish split-level living space is ideal for entertaining friends after 18 holes!
If golf is your game, then you can’t beat a frontline golf property for convenience before and after your game – conveniently walk home from the clubhouse or, at the very least, aim your buggy in the right direction! Frontline golf properties represent a secure investment for resale purposes, with views guaranteed to last the test of time and a location that’s hard to beat.
