Sotogrande Golf Course
Royal Sotogrande Golf was Robert Trent Jones' first golf course design on the Costa del Sol Golf and opened in 1964. It is still considered to be in the top ten of Europe's finest golf courses and forms part of the "Golden Triangle" with Valderrama Golf and San Roque Golf.
The golf course itself is located in a perfectly natural surrounding and this very special design has matured beautifully over the years. The mature trees and natural vegetation that follow the wide luscious fairways enhance the beauty of this golf course which make this a pleasure to play.
The holes on Royal Sotogrande Golf Course are varied with a good mixture of varying lengths and degrees of difficulty particularly where the water starts to encroach on to the course. This is particularly noticeable towards the end of the round and it has the ability to ruin a good card. There are strategically placed bunkers, water hazards and the fast greens do not make it any easier. Another feature is the wind that has the habit of picking up during the round that gives the golfer no respite.
Royal Sotogrande Golf is a club with extremely high standards where golf naturally comes first. You must ensure you have your handicap certificate with you with some form of identification. The clubhouse has recently been modernised and looks out over the first tee and eighteenth green.
On arrival at Royal Sotogrande Golf Course you will find ample parking, clubhouse and well-stocked pro shop. There are good changing facilities and although the golf course can be easily walked, there are buggies on offer. The clubhouse also provides bar and snack facilities as well as a restaurant. There is practice area and group or individual tuition if required.
