Located on a small wooded peninsula jutting into the Bay of Santander, Real Pedrena is a Harry Colt design that dates back to 1928, so golf has been played on this hilly parkland layout for a very long time. The eighteen holes of the 6340-yard, par 70 main course were augmented in 1992 when a further 9-hole layout was created on the property.
The course has hosted the Spanish Open three times – the last was in 1988 when Mark James won – but perhaps its greatest moment came in 1975 when it held the under-25 Spanish championship which was won by a 17-year-old local lad with quite a few family connections to the club, one Seve Ballesteros. It was in many ways fitting that the launch pad to such a highly successful professional career was on his home course.

Real Golf de Pedreña was Harry Colt’s second and final 18-hole golf course design in Spain. Opened in 1928, the course has been made more famous in recent years by its association with Seve Ballesteros, who was born in Pedreña and played almost all his early golf at the club.
