The course at Costa Ballena is links style, designed by Spanish great Jose Maria Olazabal, is considered to be one of the best courses in Spain.

Los Olivos and Las Palmeras are the championship nines and the par-3 16th is particularly worth a mention with its intimidating island green making sure you won’t want to make a splash on this one.

Montecastillo was venue of the European Tour’s season-ending Volvo Masters from 1998 to 2001. Designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, it features strategically placed lakes, rolling hills and elevated tees affording spectacular views.

The 18th hole is particularly worthy of note, with the tee 40 metres above the fairway and the green surrounded by a lake.

Sherry Golf regularly hosts the Qualifying Event for the European Tour and is located just 1.5km from Jerez.

The course is reasonably flat with wide fairways and large greens. However, a variety of tee positions make it challenging for all standards of player.

The practice facilities are very good with a large driving range, pitching and putting greens.

Sherry Golf is popular with large groups, with restaurant facilities in the clubhouse (1800m²) and in Torrelaguna, a multi-purpose building capable of hosting up to 500 people.
