The Real Club de Sotogrande has marvellous 18-hole course and one of 9 par-3’s, but its most outstanding feature is its natural beauty, and the wonderful climate which makes it possible to play all year round. It was inaugurated in 1964 and, like the course at Valderrama, was designed by Robert Trent Jones. The variety of vegetation which gives this course a very special feeling; it is covered by cork trees, pines and eucalyptus which apart from adding beauty to the course can make for quite a tricky round. The course is situated in Sotogrande, in Cádiz, and offers views out over the sea. The main hazards on the course, apart from the trees, are the big lakes, where the water will significantly complicate the game and makes this an extremely entertaining round. The course has been the venue for the Jerez Cup International Tournament since 1969. There is a wide variety of accommodation in the vicinity of the course as this is an area which attracts a lot of tourism.
