Karakas

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Karakas without battling the heat or crowds?

We always recommend visiting Karakas in late spring, around May, or early autumn, like September. You'll enjoy comfortably warm temperatures perfect for golf, and you'll avoid the peak summer tourist rush that can make tee times scarce and prices higher.

What makes Karakas unique, and what's the most memorable hole to look out for?

Karakas truly stands out with its dramatic elevation changes and the way it weaves through ancient olive groves - it's a real test of course management. Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; its elevated tee offers breathtaking views of the distant mountains, but the green is guarded by a tricky ravine.

How do the green fees at Karakas compare to other top courses in the region, and is it worth the price?

Karakas sits in the mid-to-upper tier for green fees, typically ranging from €120-€180 depending on the season and time of day. We absolutely believe it's worth every penny for the immaculate conditioning and the unique, memorable layout you won't find just anywhere.

After a challenging round at Karakas, what's the best way to unwind and experience some local flavor?

Don't miss the clubhouse terrace at Karakas; it offers fantastic views and their local tapas selection, especially the jamón ibérico, is superb. We always grab a cold cerveza and soak in the atmosphere, reflecting on the round while enjoying the Spanish sunshine.

Is Karakas easily accessible, and do you recommend renting a car or relying on taxis?

Karakas is about a 45-minute drive from Malaga Airport, making it quite convenient. While taxis are available, we strongly recommend renting a car for the flexibility to explore the charming nearby towns and make the most of your trip beyond the course.
