Hav been to Marbella 2 times now and third trip shortly. Santa Clara is on the list over courses to be played this year also. There are a good mix of holes, some that gives you a good chance and some quite difficult holes. You don't have to be a long hitter - the party of eight whom we are play a competition at Santa Clara where the highest handicap player has taken the price both times. Some fairly nice chances to get in a good score.
Found the staff nice actually - both times we were there.
