Por Top 100 Golf Courses ·
Close by, are three of Europe's finest courses - Valderrama, Sotogrande and San Roque. The San Roque Club lies nestled at the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja Mountains, which eventually peter out into the Mediterranean.
The Old course is set in a 340-acre estate where there was once a luxury hotel and spa (formerly the summer residence of the Domecq sherry dynasty) which has since closed.
Dave Thomas and Tony Jacklin designed the Old course and it opened for play in 1990 at an alleged cost of one million dollars per hole. It remained pretty much unaltered until Seve Ballesteros made changes to the bunkering. The Old was joined by the Perry Dye-designed New Course in 2003.
From day one, San Roque was heralded as a great test of golf, even for the best players. Measuring 6,494 metres, this par 72 layout has been used on many occasions for professional tournaments and it's now the winter home of the European PGA Tour School.
