One of the jewels in The Costa del Sol's golfing crown, San Roque Old Course often tops the lists for must-plays in Spain. The Old Course is one of the most challenging in Sotogrande with the original design by Dave Thomas being heralded among professionals and amateurs alike.

Framed by rolling hills and established cork trees, The Old Course is truly unique golfing experience. Expect course management to be tested with plenty of bunkers in play and greens are smaller than you'd see at other courses.

Memorable holes include the 17th that is a great par-5 that meanders through cork trees with an elevated green surrounded by bunkers. Reachable in two but one that can easily ruin a round.

As a previous host of European Tour Qualifying School as well as The Spanish Open, golfers playing The Old Course at San Roque are ticking off one of the very best in Spain and Europe that golfers return to year-after-year.

San Roque Club, Old Course

San Roque's Old Course was officially unveiled in 1990, and was designed by the legendary Dave Thomas, the man responsible for so many terrific projects at home and abroad. Following revision work on the bunkering by Seve Ballesteros, the Old Course hosted the European Tour's finest professionals for the 2005 Spanish Open.

The course is an exacting proposition, whose tight, sloping fairways wind through the cork trees that make the estate so famous, affording incredible views of the surrounding mountains. The inward half is the more spectacular, traversing the rolling hills and demanding brave carries over the cavernous gullies. The closing holes take in the shimmering lakes at the centre of the resort, presenting a finish as beautiful as it is challenging.

With an internationally renowned golf academy and two of the region's finest championship course, visiting the San Roque Club is an essential component of any good golfing holiday in Southern Spain.
