Sotogrande prepared unique events

Sotogrande is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year with a series of activities that will highlight the transformation that has taken place in this ideal destination for golf holidays over the last 60 years.

This is a diamond anniversary, so there will be lots of fun things to do for locals and tourists.

The 60th anniversary celebrations go off on April 23, with a paddle surfing competition, which is guaranteed to be a hit with the younger crowd. There will be a series of races separated into several categories, then an awards presentation and a cocktail party.

And then, on May 1st, there will be a solidarity race at the Puerto Deportivo de Sotogrande. Participants will have the option of running either 5 or 10 km. All proceeds will be donated to two local charities, Coordinadora Alternativas and Por Una Sonrisa.

The Sotogrande way of life will be celebrated all spring and summer long with a full schedule of golf, polo, music, and cultural activities.

The final event of this special year is a golf tournament, on August 5th, at La Reserva Club golf course.

Sotogrande, in the Costa del Sol, is one of the most popular golf holiday destinations in Europe due to the world-class golf courses, like Valderrama and Real Sotogrande, often among the best courses in Europe.

It’s also important to mention that this area was officially declared the best golf destination in Spain recently.

Izki Golf hosts the XIX Spanish PGA Doubles Championship

The PGA Spain Golf Tour 2023 returns to the scene, in Izki Golf, almost without time to celebrate Jon Rahm’s victory in the Augusta Masters, the 6th “Green Jacket” for Spain.

Adrian Otaegui, Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño, José Manuel Carriles and Natalia Escuriola are some of the stars that will be in the golf tournament.

To mark the occasion, the XIX PGA Doubles Championship of Spain has been reinstated. This tournament is beloved by pros and is unlike any other on the Spanish national calendar.

The Izki Golf course, in the North of Spain, is ideal for golf tournaments since it was constructed by Seve Ballesteros and is open to the public, fulfilling one of his lifelong goals.

“We have a plaque placed at the entrance to the golf course since his death, but he will be safe in our thoughts”, said Jon Ander Sánchez, director of Izki Golf.

When the Provincial Council and Izki Golf met with PGA of Spain President Ander Martinez last November, the idea of reviving this competition in pairs quickly gained traction.

“We wanted to do something different and special and to recover this tournament was the perfect combination”, explained Jon Ander.

“Izki Golf is much more than a regular golf course. There’s a lot more in it for residents and tourists alike. It is promotion, closeness, accessible and public. And that is why we carry out actions in schools in the area, collaborations with associations and companies, and whatever arises in order to bring golf closer to the population that unfortunately is unaware of it”, added Jon Ander.

The XIX Spanish PGA Doubles Championship will be held between April 12 and 13 at Izki Golf.

The website Top100GolfCourses.com, which is devoted to ranking and analysing golf courses, has recently determined that Sotogrande, which is located on the Costa del Sol, is the best destination to play golf in Spain.

The Real Club Valderrama has been named the best golf course in Spain for the second year in a row. The golf course is used to host elite events, like the Ryder Cup in 1997, and it will host a LIV Golf event in June.

Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, the area’s oldest golf course, recently jumped to second place in the national rating, highlighting the high calibre of the area’s golfing options, which are among the best in Europe.

La Reserva Club, ranked 13th, adds credibility to the region’s golf scenario, as does Almenara Golf, a club with 27 holes that was recently remodelled by the renowned Manuel Piñero.

“According to the most up-to-date standings in Spain, Sotogrande is hands down the finest place to play golf. Having the area’s golf facilities rated so highly is especially satisfying because the strength of golf throughout the region is recognized”, said Rita Jordão, Sotogrande’s Director of Sales and Marketing.

“We are constantly investing in our properties in Sotogrande SA and, together with the other Sotogrande clubs, we are committed to continually providing the best facilities for our residents, members and visitors”, added Rita Jordão.
