La Quinta Golf & Country Club

La Quinta Golf and Country Club is a 27-hole club in the hills above San Pedro, at the mouth of the Benahavís golf valley. Manuel Piñero designed it with Antonio García Garrido. It opened in 1989 with 18 holes and grew into three nine-hole loops: San Pedro (par 35), Ronda (par 35) and Guadaiza (par 36). You play any two loops as your 18. San Pedro is the widest, Ronda is narrow, and Guadaiza is the most technical. The greens are firm and quick, and the green fee includes range balls before you start. The Westin La Quinta hotel sits on the course. The club hosted the Benahavís Senior Masters, a European Senior Tour event, from 2009 to 2012, and the Women's Spanish Open in 2011 and 2018. Public green fees for 2026/27 run from 126 to 160 euros by season. Online tee times start near 98 euros in summer 2026. Buggies cost extra outside package offers.

Online times from about 98 in summer; peak spring reaches 160. Range balls come with the fee.

What the internet says

On Leadingcourses, La Quinta scores 7.9 from 214 reviews (read 2026) and holds a Golfers Choice 2026 badge. Golfshake shows 4.1 of 5 from 49 reviews, and 96 percent would play again. The Albrecht Golf Guide gives 4.0 of 5 from 29 reviews, and Top100 user reviews average 4.0. Players praise the condition, the quick greens, the staff and the choice of loops. The repeated warnings: five-hour rounds when the tee sheet is full, no marshal on the course, and buggies and extras that raise the real cost.

The course and the greens

Recent reviews are split. Some players praise fast, true greens and good fairways, while others found the greens recovering from repair work.

Arrival and the welcome

TripAdvisor reviewers mostly find the starter, caddie master and pro shop staff helpful and relaxed. A few visitors felt the course marshals were unfriendly.
