Sotogrande was founded in 1964 and is located on prime golfing land close to the beachfront between the river Guadiaro and Sotogrande marina. It is regularly voted in the top 10 courses in Europe.
This testing layout from legendary designer Robert Trent Jones features lakes, fast greens, white crushed marble bunkers and a frequently testing wind. There are Bermuda grass fairways while the greens feature typical Trent Jones contours.
Mature vegetation with pine, cork oaks, eucalyptus and giant palm trees add to the natural beauty of the surroundings.
Many top events have been played at Sotogrande with the great Seve Ballesteros clinching the Spanish PGA here in 1987.
