Posted on by

Sergio García made a special trip to Portugal to monitor the progress of his latest golf course design project, The Torre CourseEarlier this month, Ryder Cup legend and 2017 Masters champion Sergio García made a special trip to Portugal to monitor the progress of his latest golf course design project, The Torre Course, at Terras da Comporta, Located 130 km from Lisbon. The eagerly awaited course is set to open next summer, completing a stunning 36-hole venue alongside the acclaimed Dunas Course, designed by David McLay-Kidd. García’s visit allowed him to assess the development first-hand, offering insight into the intricate process of shaping this par-72 course, which measures 6,575 meters from the back tees.

García expressed his excitement about the progress, stating, “It was incredibly exciting to see the progress that has been made since my last visit. Of course, we spent a lot of time visualising each hole, but nothing compares to seeing it in the flesh. The course is really starting to take shape, and the whole team is itching to get out there and play it.”

Inspired by the legendary Real Club Valderrama, García’s favourite course, The Torre Course, will challenge golfers with its unique blend of wide fairways, small greens, and well-placed sandy waste bunkers. The course will perfectly complement the existing Dunas Course, which has already garnered global recognition.

Andalucía Masters: Real Club de Golf Sotogrande is Ready to Host Jon Rahm and the Best Golfers

Posted on by

The 10th edition of the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters is set to take place from October 17 to 20, 2024, at the prestigious Real Club de Golf Sotogrande. This renowned event will welcome top golfers, including Spanish superstar Jon Rahm, adding an extra layer of excitement to the competition. Rahm, a two-time major champion and DP World Tour Championship winner in 2017, 2019 and 2022, will be among the most anticipated participants, making his fourth appearance in this tournament. His past performances in Sotogrande have been impressive, including a close second-place finish in 2019, when he narrowly missed the title to Christiaan Bezuidenhout.

Real Club de Golf Sotogrande Rich History

The Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, one of Europe’s premier golf courses, is known for its rich history and challenging layout. Designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones and inaugurated in 1964, it was the first of his masterpieces in Europe. The course mixes seamlessly with the natural surroundings and presents a stimulating challenge for players of all levels. Its wide fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and elevated, fast greens require precision and strategy. Over the years, Sotogrande has hosted many elite tournaments and champions, including Severiano Ballesteros, Rory McIlroy, José María Olazábal, and Sergio García.

For Rahm, this tournament represents another opportunity to add to his illustrious record on the DP World Tour. With ten wins in just 75 appearances, he boasts one of the best win percentages on the tour, second only to Tiger Woods. In 2024, Rahm will arrive in Sotogrande following an impressive performance at the Acciona Open de España, where he battled for his fourth title before finishing runner-up. A win here would solidify his place among the legends who have triumphed at Sotogrande.

Beyond the tournament, the Real Club de Golf Sotogrande is also a top destination for golfers seeking the ultimate Spain Golf Holidays. Tee Times Golf Agency clients regularly choose Sotogrande to experience world-class golf in one of Europe’s finest settings. Offering the best packages for golf vacations, Tee Times ensures golfers enjoy their holidays to the fullest, making Sotogrande an unforgettable part of their itinerary.
