Description
After playing in Valderrama or in Son Gual (Mallorca), one can think that Spain has no better course to play. But Real Club de Golf Sotogrande is, for some, the best of them all. It´s spectacular design, so varied, the terrain that no other golf course offers in Spain, the views, and the level of challenge, including the fast greens, make this a must play when visiting Spain.
Signature Hole
There are several holes that, thanks to the awesome terrain where the golf course was built, allowed Robert Trent Jones Sr to design this incredible golf course. Such is the case of the 3rd hole, the 5th, the 11th, and so on. But the 7th hole surely belongs in the top-100 golf holes in the world. A 420 yard par 4 with an elevated tee to a fairway protected with a crossbunker on the right and a green with trees to its left, water right, and two distinct platforms to which you must not only hit the right line, you must also pick the right club, as the wrong club might lead to a 3-putt.
