Here are some of the best courses in the area.
Top of our list is Valderrama Golf Club in Sotogrande. This course, which is considered one of the best in Europe, has hosted the Ryder Cup. This world-famous golf course has also hosted a number of other international competitions. The course has difficult holes, beautiful surroundings and a club with a long history.
The next private golf course is the Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, which has hosted the Spanish Open in the past. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr, the course has elevated greens, breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and difficult holes that require precision.
Along the coast we reach the Finca Cortesin Golf Club in Casares. This course has perfectly maintained fairways and greens and is set against the backdrop of the magnificent Sierra Bermeja mountain range. The course has an excellent reputation, with difficult holes and wide fairways that give opportunities for long drives.
Also worthy of note is the La Reserva Golf Club, located in Sotogrande. The unique scenery of this course with its cork trees, wild flowers and sloping hills was created by Cabell B. Robinson. The course has large fairways that provide plenty of room for error, and is very difficult. The course is a popular choice for golfers of all skill levels due to its excellent practice facilities, which include a driving range and putting green.
The Real Club Sevilla golf course is a great choice if you are looking for a course with a long history. It was founded in 1929 and is located in the centre of Seville. The Guadalquivir River serves as the course’s backdrop and features tree-lined fairways, tricky greens and challenging bunkers. Visitors can book tee times directly with the club or through tour operators.
Another golf course that we definitely recommend visiting is the course at Alcaidesa Links Golf Resort, located in La Linea de la Concepción. The special feature of this course is that it includes both links and parkland courses, giving golfers a variety of possible terrains and obstacles. While playing, the course offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Rock of Gibraltar. The course attracts players of all skill levels with its difficult bunkers, steep greens and wide fairways.
If you are thinking of a golf trip to Andalusia, there are many tour operators that can help you plan your itinerary and book a golf course. As some courses are private and require nearby hotel accommodation to play, it’s a good idea to book accommodation close to the ones you intend to play.
