San Roque Golf Courses

On June 1st, the renowned Old Course of The San Roque Golf Courses reopened after having undergone an intense renovation that lasted almost a year.

The golf course opened in 1991 and quickly became one of Sotogrande’s preferred golf courses, with its Old Course, originally designed by Dave Thomas, known alongside the Real Club Valderrama Golf Course and the Real Club Sotogrande Golf Course, like the ‘golden triangle’ of golf in Spain.

The clubhouse, former residence of the Domecq family, now totally renovated and with a fresh and classic look at the same time, becomes an unbeatable setting to start a round on the Old Course, a golf course that winds gently and pleasantly surrounded by leafy trees rolling hills, majestic cork oaks and charming villa.

Regarding the technical aspects of the Old Course and after a comprehensive renovation that lasted eleven months, the best golf course in the San Roque estate confirms its commitment to excellence, implementing the highest standards of maintenance that can be found on the best golf courses in Europe.

The first thought was to make the golf course as dry as possible, to be played firm and fast but it also had to be sustainable.

On the renovated golf course, the new layout that eliminates the old hilly areas and replaces them with fertilizer areas is surprising. This produces and gives it a very different personality from the rest of the golf courses in the area.

The greens, bunkers and all game elements have been redesigned to improve the playing experience. The goal of the golf course is that players choose The San Roque Golf Course year after year as a destination for their golf breaks or as their golf course of reference for residents in the area.

On the other hand, and to make the visitor experience even more enriching, the golf course is working on the opening of a hotel and several villas that will be available in 2023.

Tee Times Golf Agency considers these 2 golf courses of great excellence which are as fun to play as they are beautiful, within a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

This renovation of the Old Course designed by the legendary Dave Thomas and already rated amongst the finest golf courses in Europe and always within the top 5 in Spain will make it even more appreciated and desired.

A visit to these magnificent golf courses is imperative and to better appreciate and enjoy it, we suggest the Special Golf Packages Spain Finest Golf Pack 1 (4 x rounds) & 2 (5 x rounds), to choose from among the golf courses; Valderrama Golf Course, Real Sotogrande Golf Course, La Reserva at Sotogrande Golf Course, San Roque Old Golf Course and Finca Cortesin Golf Course.
