Golf courses
18 Hole Par 72 Parkland course designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones. It is voted the 2nd best golf course in Spain and offers a nice parkland layout with fast greens.
Sotogrande (Real Club de Golf Sotogrande)
This was the first European course designed by the famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones Snr. and was voted the second best course in Spain by Golf Digest Magazine. It is the lakes, fast greens and the strong winds that make this track a real challenge to the best of players, although, it does have wide fairways and short rough that allow you to make use of the driver. With virtually every green surrounded by bunkers, you'll need to be accurate with your irons if you're to score well.
18 Holes, Par 72, Yardage 6894. Parkland.
