Bil Bil Golf is another good course in Benalmádena, with 18 par-3 holes ranging from 42 metres to 115 metres at the longest. The holes are entertaining, and some are tricky, such as 3, 4 and 5. In particular, holes 4 and 5 require a good strike to clear the lake with the first shot.

The central part of the course is crossed by a stream that weaves through the holes, demanding excellent distance control from the player due to the smaller greens. The finale comes at the 18th, which features an island green surrounded by a bunker.
