Golf in Spain

SIGNATURE GOLF

Robert Trent Jones also designed the course at the Real Club de Golf Las Brisas in Malaga. In idyllic natural surroundings, the course has numerous water hazards (there are ten artificial lakes) and a lot of bunkers . Most of the greens are elevated and present quite a challenge even for experienced players. The German landscape architect Thomas Himmel was responsible for the excellent Son Gual course in Mallorca. The design is really quite beautiful and the course integrates over a thousand ancient olive trees which give the course quite a unique character. And it has one of the best final holes in Europe: a par 5 which is ideal for the select few. Javier Arana is the great Spanish golf course designer. One of his best courses is at the Real Sociedad de Golf deNeguri in Vizcaya. Such is the variety that you'll need to master all aspects of the game to finish under par. From the very first holes you'll already have incredible views of the Cantabrian Sea and arriving at the 18th with the Club House in the background is quite spectacular. There are a number of exclusive courses in Spain designed by some of the best architects whose aim is to achieve perfect balance to provide you with an unforgettable experience. They're here for you to discover!
