El Rompido South Course

at Precise Resort El Rompido

Location: Huelva | Par: 72 | Architect: Álvaro Arana | Opened: 2003

The South Course at Precise Resort El Rompido is a beautifully crafted parkland layout designed by Álvaro Arana. Opened in 2003, it quickly earned a reputation as one of the best golf courses in Costa de la Luz. Set within a peaceful natural park near Huelva, the course combines classic parkland features with stretches of protected marshland, creating both variety and challenge.

Framed by pine forests and fragrant orange groves, the South Course is perfect for golfers who enjoy a traditional layout with strategic elements. Wide fairways and subtle doglegs call for accuracy over raw power, making it a rewarding test for all handicaps.

Travel tip: Thanks to Andalucía’s mild climate, the South Course offers excellent year-round play – an ideal choice for winter golf in Spain.

Signature Holes

One of the most memorable stretches of the South Course comes late in the round, between the 17th and 18th holes. Golfers cross a wooden pontoon over the protected marsh, enjoying panoramic views of the Río Piedras estuary – a truly unique golfing experience.

The par-5 13th is another standout hole, requiring thoughtful shot placement to navigate tree-lined fairways before approaching a well-protected green. Throughout the course, natural scenery and clever design combine to create holes that are both strategic and visually striking.

Although the South Course only opened in 2003, it was immediately hailed as one of Spain’s hidden gems. Its blend of classic wooded parkland and marshland terrain makes it distinct from many other golf courses in Andalucía. The use of natural surroundings ensures every round feels connected to the environment, with birdlife and coastal views adding to the experience.
