GOLF
COURSES IN AND AROUND THE SOTOGRANDE AREA
|
| SAN ROQUE Designed by Dave Thomas
in 1990, this course features wide fairways, and several holes with
elevated surrounds, making it suitable for the holding of major
competitions. Its design shows two distinctive sectors: one, of
the "woodland" type, and the other, with water having
the leading role; both, amidst thick vegetation, with old cork trees
and a fair amount of streams and waterfalls that enhance the beauty
of the place.It is a spacious and stimulating golf course thought
out for players of any level.The Club House is attached to a hotel
built from a fully restored Andalucian mansion.

VALDERRAMA
GOLF CLUB
Although Valderrama is
a private club, nine starting times for visitors are available daily
between 12.00 and 2.00pm with green fees costing around £125
per round!!. However it is a wonderful course, worthy of a pilgrimage
by any serious golfer.

|
| SOTOGRANDE Opened in 1964 and considered
to be amongst the best ten golf courses in the world, Sotogrande
is yet another masterpiece designed by Robert Trent Jones. Known
as "Old Sotogrande" so as to differentiate it from its
younger neighbour, Valderrama, it is situated on the other side
of the road. It's a private club open to visitors but reservations
must be made well in advance. With more than 30 years of history,
Sotogrande has mature and beautiful trees, including cork oaks and
palms, all of which serve as added obstacles. Other than making
it seem larger than its 6,820 yards, the water hazards play an important
part on this course

|
| LA CAÑADA A 9 hole par 35 course
of 2599m. Surely unique amongst municipal courses, this course was
designed by Robert Trent Jones. Situated high above the town there
are superb views to the Rio Guadiaro, the Mediterranean and Valderrama
Golf. Some challenging holes - most especially the 9th which is
played over a dramatic gully.

|
| ALMENARA
The Almenara School of
Excellence boasts the most modern golf practice facilities in Southern
Spain. With a simultaneous practice capacity of 90 players, 3 normal
size practice holes, separate approach and putting areas, and a
video studio for swing analysis, this is a highly sought-after centre
