Sotogrande Golf Club - Sotogrande only improves with age. Opened in 1964, it is still voted among the top ten courses in Europe. Like the course at Valderrama, it too was designed by Robert Trent Jones. Its most outstanding feature is its natural beauty with views out over the sea. The variety of vegetation gives this course a very special feeling, as it is covered by cork trees, pines and eucalyptus which apart from adding beauty to the course can make for quite a tricky round of golf.

The main hazards on the course, apart from the trees, are the big lakes, where the water will significantly complicate the game, and makes this an extremely entertaining round. Because of the virtual absence of rough, the course enables long-hitters to open their shoulders with no worries other than avoiding the pre mentioned water hazards, concentrated over the last few holes. The greens are huge, very undulating and often murderous for the scorecard.
