Description:
Real Sotogrande Golf course is a gem of a golf course on the Spanish Costa del Sol that was constructed more than 50 years ago, and it still provides a real test to even the best golfers.
Opened in 1964, the golf course was designed by Robert Trent Jones. It was his first European golf course.It is par 72, 6,224-metre layout Sotogrande is a private members' club, which maintains an air of calm and restrained sophistication, whilst at the same time providing a warm welcome to visitors. The clubhouse is well designed and elegant, the food and drink excellent and well presented, and the changing rooms.
There are many strategically placed bunkers and water hazards. The fairways are wide lined by wonderful cork, eucalyptus, pine, oak and palm trees, making par very difficult for the golfer be able to relax. The greens are fast and true.
The golf course underwent a massive upgrade in 2015-16 which was completed by Roger Rulewich and David Fleury in two stages to allow members the use of one nine at all times. Putting surfaces had grown by up to 40% of their original size over time so green shapes were fully recovered, with sub air systems installed to ensure their optimum performance. Fairways and tees were also reconstructed, using 41,000 kilometres of drainage, 71,000 tonnes of sand and 37 hectares of Bermuda grass.
