Welcome to Malaga Senior Open 2023

​

The format for this three-day tournament is: 18-hole Better Ball followed by a 36-hole Individual event. All three rounds will be played on the Parador Malaga Golf Course in Malaga.

​

Years of history have made this course—the oldest in Andalusia—both challenging for experienced players and achievable for any golf enthusiast. Sand dunes, palms, mimosas, eucalyptus and pines skirt the course. Two of the holes run along the edge of the sea.

 

The course's origins date back to the 1920s and are linked to the British royal family, especially Princess Beatrice of Battenberg, who spent part of the year in the area and was a driving force behind its creation. In 1925, construction began on the original 9-hole course under the technical supervision of Harry Shapland Colt (builder of Wentworth). Under the direction and design of renowned British architect Tom Simpson (creator of such famous courses as Turnberry, Muirfield and Ballybunion), it was expanded to 18 holes (6173 m, par 72). The course record is held by Málaga native Miguel Ángel Jiménez, set during the 1999 PGA Turespaña Masters.

​

The course has been used for several PGA European Tour professional tournaments—Turespaña Masters Open de Andalucia (1992 and 1999) and Open de Andalucía (2010 and 2011)— recognition that its quality standards reflect those of the highest levels of professional golf.
