An activity of high precision and calculation, golf is the sort of a true gentleman. Golf players exude elegance and refinement when playing, and the courses they play at must be up to par. Only the very best design will make the most out of every play, and only the most exclusive of facilities will be adequate for the true golf connoisseurs.
Regarded as the best golf course In Europe, and maybe even the world, the Real Club Valderrama was founded in 1985 by Robert Trent-Jones Senior, being the redesigned and renewed version of the former Las Aves golf course. The new and improved course has housed the Volvo Masters Tournament (1988-2009), the 32nd Ryder Cup in 1997 and hosted the World-Golf Championships-American Express Championship in 1999 and 2000.

The Real Club Valderrama has recently undergone another renovation under the direction of Visconde de Pereira Machado, who decided to breathe new life into the iconic course in 2011. This has continued the Real Club Valderrama’s tradition of being included in the Top 100 courses of the World, a feat they have achieved regularly since 1989.
Located in Sotogrande, to the south of Spain, the #1 golf course in Spain and Europe is designed to perfection, demanding the utmost ability and precise calculations. While pros will find this to be the best quality, there are many other characteristics that set the Real Club Valderrama apart from the average course. Considered an environmental reference for the industry, it was the first golf club in Europe to implement sustainable procedures, protect wildlife and cut down on chemical and fuel waste, and is even considered a wildlife sanctuary.
The Club House, which shows a preference for the distinguished members of the Real Club Valderrama, has some areas open to special guests and guards the Valderrama Restaurant and Spike Bar. The restaurant offers fine cuisine in an elegant setting, and is open to guests upon reservation. The Spike Bar is open to visitors and offers a relaxing breakfast or lunch after a play session.
Having been the setting for many of golf’s most iconic moments, the Valderrama is an ideal place to perfect golfing skills and experience the life of a sporting pro. The facilities, environmental quality and exclusivity guarantee an outstanding visit to the very best golf course in all of Europe.
