Featured Golf Course

 

CLUB DE GOLF VALDERRAMA - Sotogrande
Not much introduction is needed for Valderrama, voted Europe’s #1 course by the PGA members, and site of the annual Volvo Masters on the European Tour and the 1997 Ryder Cup. Valderrama has gained international fame through the energy of the proprietor, Jose Ortiz-Patino, who not only insisted on making changes to the original RT Jones Sr. layout (notably to the 17th hole), but also demanded exceptional standards of course upkeep (you hardly dare take a divot!). The strategic difficulty, omnipresent trees, the size of the bunkers and a few water hazards will keep you “on your toes”. On most holes, keep the driver in the bag and play for the center of the fairway, as many people can be in the fairway and not have a shot! Don’t bother playing to your handicap, as even the top champions find making par a tough task. Make sure the visit the excellent pro shop and restaurant too, among the best anywhere. WWG Grade: A+
