Address: Cerca de, 11310 San Roque, Cádiz
A legend in European golf history, Real Club de Golf Sotogrande was the first course designed by Robert Trent Jones on the continent—and still one of his all-time favorites. Opened in 1964, just 150 metres from the Mediterranean, the course merges sea breeze, natural cork oak forest, and precision design into one seamless experience. It’s beautiful, but don’t let that distract you—this place will test you.
Wide fairways, slick elevated greens, and over 100 cleverly placed bunkers mean every shot matters. Trent Jones designed it to challenge pros and welcome amateurs, and the list of champions who’ve played here—Seve, Olazábal, Rory—backs that up. Whether you’re here for the history or just a bucket-list round in the sunshine, Sotogrande delivers pure golf heritage wrapped in Andalusian charm.
