The truly Spanish Top Golf Course

The best Spanish top golf course is hidden in Sotogrande (Cádiz), a town located in Andalusia. Considered as one of the best golf courses of the province, it is also recognised as the best in the country (i.e. Spain) and in Europe.

The reason can be found in the excellence of its surroundings, and the course itself which was designed by Robert Trent Jones, considered by some experts on golf as the best architect of golf courses that history has given. His excellent golf design is shown in the courses of Valderrama Golf Club, which makes them become as the perfect place for practising a sport like golf.

In 1974, the present Valderrama Golf Club, was named "Las Aves" and it was already known by professional golfers who used to practice their favourite sport in its courses. Sir Henry Cotton was one of the important golfers who helped the club acquired the prestige it has still today. By 1985, Mr. Jaime Ortiz Patiño changed its name and it has been known since then as "Valderrama".

With this new name, Mr. Ortiz provided the club with an exceptional excellence, and because of this fact, it is nowadays considered as one of the best Spanish top golf course that can be found in Europe. Soon, it also became home to many prestige tournaments such as the Volvo Masters, the Amex World Championships, the Andalucía Masters, or the well-known Ryder Cup. Among the important golf figures from the 20th century that have practised their golf in these splendid courses, you can find Seve Ballesteros, Tyger Wood or Sergio García.
