The Rio Real is a par 72, 18 hole golf course which is located in stunning surroundings with views of the mountains and the sea. The Real River wends a path through the course.
The course is considered quite difficult though the ground is mostly on a level. In order to succeed at the eleventh hole, you would need to tee your shot so that is crosses a gorge so that it reaches the fairway on the other side, then there is a stream in the way of the green.
The Rio Real was opened in 1965 and created by Javier Arana. Holes one to nine are very unyielding but the rest of the holes ease off, and there are a couple of raised tees and there are several mature trees dotted around the fairway.
The Club has recently been renovated and upgraded with new greens, replanted fairways, an improvement to the cart paths and a modernised club house and associated services.
Rio Real is thought to be one of the best three golf courses in the area and in 2002 was deemed to be the best upgraded course that year.
The course covers 129, has par 72 and a slope rating of 129. It should be noted that the course lengths have been confirmed in yards and from the yellow tees. In addition, the rating for the slope level is off the yellow tees.
Rio Real is about twenty minutes drive from Fuengirola and half an hour from Puerto Banus.
