El Candado features small undulating greens and rolling fairways.
From the highway towards Motril take the exit for el Candado. The course, which is about 7 kilometres from the centre o Málaga, can be seen from the highway.

Se trata de un campo muy corto de unos 2.500 metros, encajado en un pequeño valle. Su recorrido es muy tecnico y atractivo por el diseño, que presenta muchos desniveles, calles relativamente estrechas y por sus greenes.
