Alcaidesa Links Golf Course welcomed the Sotogrande Golf Challenge on 10th July.

After the first day, on June 26th at La Reserva Club Golf Course, the great showcase of golf continues with the Sotogrande Golf Challenge circuit at Heathland golf course of Alcaidesa Links Golf Resort.

It is the first time in history that the seven golf courses from São Roque have come together in a tournament to host the inaugural edition of a circuit that promises great emotions and spectacular golf courses available to everyone and with the presence of a large number of national and international golfers.

The Heathland golf course of Alcaidesa Links Golf Resort’s was the chosen golf course for the more than sixty participants to try to give their best swing with the clear objective of qualifying for the Grand Final that will take place at Real Club Valderrama golf course on November 11th.

Alcaidesa Heathland golf course is an 18-hole, par 72 course designed by the prestigious former Ryder Cup player and author of several internationally renowned courses, Dave Thomas. This golf course offers a variety of natural landscapes ranging from a plateau area (holes 1 to 5, 17 and 18) where the golf course resembles a “moorland” type with wide fairways and exceptional views of the Mediterranean, to different mountains and to the valley area where the holes meander along with themselves and incorporate various water obstacles. The total course is 6,373 meters.

All participants will thus enjoy a golf course that combines exigency and fun in equal parts and in which they must show their best shots if they want to win in the handicap or scratch category, which gives them a direct pass to the Grand Final of Real Clube Valderrama.

But in the Sotogrande Golf Challenge consistency has its prize and the ranking of the regular phase starts to take shape. The top six handicap pairs and also the top six scratch pairs will also compete in the final at Real Club Valderrama.

The Sotogrande Golf Challenge does not stop in her calendar with several high-level competitions that are yet to be disputed. The renovated Old Golf Course at Clube São Roque will be the next after Alcaidesa Links golf course, on the 24th of July, where the 200 participants will have to do their best.

It will be the first tournament after a comprehensive redesign carried out in recent months. Mobile greens, wide fairways in a perfect condition worthy of the same European Tour, will be what the participants of this first edition of the Sotogrande Golf Challenge 2021 will find.

The deadline for participation has been extended, therefore, all interested parties are still in time to formalize the inscription in the different competitions that are still in dispute or opt to enrol together in the last three events to be held at Almenara Resort, La Cañada Golf Course and the Real Club de Sotogrande Golf Course at a very low price, starting at 250,00€.

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.

Not to miss the also marvellous and nearby San Roque New Golf Course and Almenara Golf Course.

Because a golf break is only complete with an equally wonderful and unforgettable stay, we recommend the Deluxe, charming and welcoming hotels: So / Sotogrande *****, Hotel Encinar de Sotogrande **** & Hotel Apartamentos Manilva Sun ***.
