The Monte Mayor Golf & Country Club course, designed by Pepe Gancedo and located in Benahavís, closed its doors in November 2011 due to financial difficulties. It was recognised as one of the most spectacular courses on the Costa del Sol for its integration into a rugged, wooded natural setting. Despite subsequent changes of ownership, the facilities remain closed with no current sporting activity.
