Real Club de Golf Sotogrande
Course Overview
Real Club de Golf Sotogrande is one of Europe’s most respected golf courses, known for its timeless design, rich history, and consistent tournament pedigree. Opened in 1964 and designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., it was his first European project and remains a benchmark of strategic, elegant golf architecture.
Located just moments from the Mediterranean, the course features wide, gently undulating fairways, well-placed bunkers, and elevated greens that demand precision and thoughtful play. Mature trees, water hazards, and ocean breezes add subtle complexity to the round, while the layout’s natural flow ensures a rewarding experience for all skill levels.
Meticulously maintained and regularly ranked among Spain’s best, Sotogrande has hosted numerous elite amateur and professional events, including the Spanish Amateur Championship and the European Nations Cup. It stands as a model of classic design enhanced by modern conditioning, making it a must-play for serious golfers who are happy to pay a little more for the experience.
