Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande

Service

The reception was very friendly – we were already expected, our golf bags were collected directly from the car and loaded onto a buggy. The friendly caddie explained to us where we could find everything and we went straight to the golf reception. We received warm welcome there too and we were even able to go out for a round before our actual start time – but not without buying a few souvenirs in the pro shop. 

The pro shop has a great selection of everything you need (or even just want).

All around the course

The restaurant also offered good food at fair prices, but unfortunately we were unable to try it out. Instead, we had chocolate cake and protein balls at the halfway house on recommendation – all at a fair price and it tasted great.

The course

The championship course was designed by Robert Trent Jones and is never boring. Every hole is a change and every shot needs to be planned.

This is a golf course to our taste. If you’re looking for a “baller meadow”, you’ve come to the wrong place, even if there are one or two holes in between where you can “go all out”. It was recently a DP World Tour destination for a good reason.

Hole 1 starts off a little less spectacular – great for warming up – but this changes immediately from hole 2, where the hilly terrain and an olive tree that is hanging out onto the fairway come into play if you want to reach the green.
