First European course designed by Robert Trent Jones and rated among the 100 best courses in the world since its foundation (1964). The course championship distance is 6224 metres, par 72 and SSS 74 on its longest distance. Although the course has wide fairways and very little semi rough on its fairways, its lakes, fast greens and the strong winds in this area make it a real challenge to the best of players.
Real Club de Golf Sotogrande´s golf architect, Robert Trent Jones, once described a golf course as a battleground: the players attack the course, and it is the architect´s obligation to defend it. And defend our course he had, by means of strategically placed bunkers, water hazards, rough and the general layout of the course itself, as well as having holes of great beauty such as the seventh and twelfth. Therefore, when you step out onto the first tee, prepare to assume the offensive.
