Marbella Golf Country Club

What Marbella Golf Country Club does

Marbella Golf Country Club, now operating as Higuerón Marbella Golf Resort following its November 2025 acquisition by Higuerón Developments, is an 18-hole golf resort located in Marbella on Spain's Costa del Sol. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in the late 1980s and operates as a mid-market destination facility serving a mix of international golf tourists, local members, families, and corporate groups. On-site amenities include the El Olivo restaurant, The Japo Japanese restaurant, and dedicated event and tournament hosting, supported by a staff of approximately 17 employees.

The core product is the 18-hole course, augmented by a structured mix of access mechanisms: individual and small-group green fees (e.g., a €345 day pass for two, summer offers from €195, 9-hole rounds at €67), prepaid 10-green-fee vouchers at €600, and two monthly subscription tiers at €810 and €1,520. A Summer Junior Camp extends the addressable base into families and youth, while the F&B outlets and event hosting generate ancillary revenue per visitor beyond green fees. Tee-time distribution runs through the open.teeone.golf platform alongside direct phone, email, and walk-in channels.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and asset-anchored: revenue is generated from green fees, membership and voucher subscriptions, F&B sales, and event/tournament bookings, with cross-property bundling now being layered in via the parent group's beach club and hospitality portfolio. Following the rebrand, the resort is positioned as the golf pillar of a broader Higuerón lifestyle ecosystem rather than a standalone course, which should support higher average spend per guest but also ties the operation's performance to group-level strategic and capital decisions.
