It was the perfect Open in terms of the field, the weather, the result… Having Azahara Muñoz and Carlota Ciganda fighting for the title, which Azahara finally took in front of their team, was incredible. In fact, it was one of the reasons that led us to think about organizing a new Spanish Open ”, explains Ignacio del Cuvillo, director of the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina. “The Spanish Women’s Open in Guadalmina is a wonderful challenge and the club has turned to this initiative. In addition, we must thank all our partners, both nationals and foreigners (of 17 different nationalities) for their support and generosity, since they gladly give up the field after enjoying a wonderful experience in the Open de España Femenino de 2017 ”.
The marked character of the south course, a design by the renowned Javier Arana remodeled by Stirling & Martin that combines beauty and difficulty, returns to test some golfers from the Ladies European Tour who would do well not to trust the favorable statistics of 2017.

“The facilities of the south field are ideal for the women’s game and this was recognized by the participants of the 2017 Open. The field gives a lot of play, is spectacular and, at the same time, comfortable to walk. It can offer two faces: the most complicated and the most entertaining, ”says Del Cuvillo. “We have done great improvement works over the last two years, especially beautification and aesthetics by expanding the tees platforms, and by the month of November the field will be in perfect condition. If there is one of those wonderful weeks typical of this area in terms of meteorology, it will be a magnificent showcase for the Costa del Sol and Andalusia ”.
