Everything is looking more positive.

There certainly should be,its a disgrace.

Just an update from me, having spent the last weekend out there.

Saturday's weather reminded me just why we bought the place!  Beautiful sunshine and warm.  A chance to lose the socks, long trousers and jumper for sandals, polo shirt and socks.  Wonderful. 

The golf course is gradually coming back to life though we heard from a resident that there is talks that this might not be completed after all.   Anybody know anything about this? 

The tropical garden looks like it will be quite decent.  You get a good view of it from the terracing of the restaurant/bar at Benalmadena Golf. 

The roundabouts that have been finished are fantasticly creative.  The ones that haven't are covered with the previously mentioned excrement. 

Frustrating that the access road to the driving range and around the back of the large pond is still closed but there you go.

Vegetation around Phase 2 in particular is maturing well, as is Phase 1 (see phase 1 forum).  Rest of urbanisation needs to catch up.

Anybody know if there are any shops/supermarkets or bars planned for the area?  All they seem to be building now are more schools.

hi,

is it possible ti get some pictures of the tropical gardens, childrens playground and adults outdoor gym?

thanks,

Hi GMCG,

                  I have just posted some recent photos of the tropical garden , phases 4.phases 5,phases 8.etc.The photos were taken around 27/4/2010.There were quiet a few men working on the tropical garden,quiet a few men working on the sewage works,and a few men working on the golf course,i got the impresion that things were ticking along,but dont expect  things to suddenly complete,and open,the club house remains derelict,no activity there are,no signs of tennis or paddle courts being prepared.I did hear that no other apartments after phase 3 were being sold,the developer aparently is trying to sell the remaining properties on phase 3 before moving on,i know that there are a few people living on phase 4,but no more.On a happy note things are getting done.When we left alot of of the childrens park was complete,and there was an outside gym with various pieces of equiptment,also alot of seating areas had been completed.

Speak soon

Adrian

Hi To Everyone.

                            Could anyone give me an update on how the development is coming along,ie the golf course,is it improving.

Many thanks

 Hi Guys

Don't bother with this referral I have seen them advertising on lots of sites, if you do go onto their site you will note the complete lack of professionalism about the main page with not even an address of where they are located just a limited company no!!!!! Be warned.

Hi To Everyone.

                            I wonder if anyone can bring me up to speed with the state of the development.My son has just arrived at AG today 9th June ,i asked him to ring me with an update of the state of the golf course,he has told me that it looks terrible,is this so,i must say i am a bit surprised as when i was there several weeks ago things were looking quite promising,as i say your comments are greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Adrian

Hello Samste,

Just arrived back from Arenal and things are looking pretty impressive.  During the week we were there, thy the green keepers were working on the course 7 days a week, the final two roundabouts were under construction, and the lower phases had their final layer of tarmac on the roads.  With reference to what your son reported back to you, the course looks in pretty good condition to us, and we are golfers ourselves, especially comparing to our last visit 12 weeks ago. 

The development is now going into its final stages, which we thought we would never see and from 18 months ago when the course turned to waste land and all building work stopped, we are delighted to say the least.

We have uploaded about 10 pics of the course and surrounding areas,(the photos are in several batches 10 July,11th of July and 12th of July) let us know what you think.

Regards

Mr and Mrs Franks

Hi Samste,

I have sent you a pm.

Hi again,

I have just received a News Flash email from Areanl Golf.com stating that the course will be open from Monday???  If anyone is out there, can they find out how this is going to actually work without a club house. 

Thanks

Anthony Franks

 I was out there last week and saw 3 people out playing on the phase 4 golf course as a trial run,I'm not too sure if the course will open or be just ready for play there is no club house only an empty sales office unless its going to be used as a temporary club house!!!!

i see a picture from the main complex forum that they have started working on the clubhouse finally, i have not been out there in a few months now and was just wondering if the new walk, playground and exercise area have opened yet? also does anyone have any pics?

The garden and park areas have not been opened yet but we have been told that they will be handed over to the community soon. Workmen arrived to start work on the club house this morning. Last week they starting clearing an area of waste ground at the bottom of phase 3 which we think may be for Padel courts. There has also been a meeting last week about the golf course and another one is planned for the end of Feb.

Hi Everyone at AG,

                             Has anyone got an update and pictures of the progress,re clubhouse,padel courts and general ammenities,would be appreciated.

Thanks

You`ll find regular updates and pictures on Arenal`s own community website.

 Gggreatt to hear things are getting better cant wait until i have me 1st of many pints in the club house, its your round robert...

 Just got back from a brief visit to our apartment on phase 3. The whole site is looking much better now. the clubhouse is being worked on daily and is probably 6-8 weeks from completion. 9 holes are already open and there is a small portable office for sales of tickets. 10euros for residents, 15 for Antequera golf members (not sure why) and 20 for non-residents. I was told the whole course will be open in 4-6 weeks so prepare for some wayward shots.

 Padel and tennis courts are being worked on, the bases have been laid and I would guess they willl be ready for play in about 4-6 weeks
