The Club de Golf Aloha in Spain was the last course designed by that country's most noted golf architect, Javier Arana, who died a few months before completion. While less impressive than something like El Saler, the layout Arana created is reasonably good given the restrictions of working on the Costa del Sol and when compared to the more formulaic tracks built around this time by American firms. Nothing really stands out as exceptional at Aloha, the green sites are quite good but they lack the outrageous contours or creativity of El Saler and some of the actual shapes seem a little goofy.

The biggest problem with the course, however, is the balance of the routing and the flow and difficulty of the holes. Three of the par threes are likely to require fairway woods, but there is only one semi-long par four and that is the 18th. Technology has not been kind to Aloha, but even for previous eras this was neither a challenging nor overly diverse collection of golf holes. With the exception of the 18th hole, the remaining nine par fours measure between 315 and 377 metres, only the really tight 2nd and uphill 9th likely to cause good players problems. Further the cross-rise and then plunging 7th doesn't really work, nor does the uphill 14th.

Holes like the 1st, 4th, 9th, 10th, 12th and 18th are all quite good and, as a group better, than most on the Costa del Sol, but in general this is a solid yet unspectacular design from Arana and probably not worth traveling from afar to play.
