Real Club de Golf Sotogrande

Founded in 1964, Real Club de Golf Sotogrande is located on prime golfing land close to the beachfront between the river Guadiaro and Sotogrande marina in Andalusia. RCG Sotogrande is often voted to be among the top ten golf courses in Europe. “Sotogrande Old”, as it is called by the locals, boasts mature vegetation with pine, cork oaks, eucalyptus, and giant palm trees enhancing the natural beauty of the surroundings. The greens are large and the tees are very long, some would say excessively so, but they allow for variations in pin placement and the length of the hole. The contours of the greens are typical Trent Jones and the bunkers were the first in Europe to be filled with brilliant white crushed marble. Another 'first' at Sotogrande was the use of Bermuda grass on fairways. Visitor Days are Monday through Friday from 10:54 to 12:06 (excluding Easter week, from 15th July to 31st August and Bank Holidays). The maximum permitted handicap is 24 for men and 30 for ladies.More
