How to Build a Golf Trip Around Valderrama

Spain golf holidays

Valderrama is the most sought-after tee time in continental Europe: a Robert Trent Jones design, host of the 1997 Ryder Cup and countless Volvo Masters, and routinely ranked Europe’s number-one course. Access is limited and prized, which is exactly why you build a trip around it.

Base yourself in Sotogrande

Valderrama sits in Sotogrande, the wealthy golf enclave at the southern tip of Spain. Stay at SO/ Sotogrande or the exclusive Finca Cortesín and you are minutes from the first tee.

The courses to pair with it

  • Valderrama, the main event. We arrange the tee time.
  • The San Roque Club (Old), a championship classic next door.
  • La Reserva de Sotogrande, modern and immaculately kept, with real drama.
  • Finca Cortesín, host of the 2023 Solheim Cup.

A three-to-five-night Sotogrande trip lets you play Valderrama at its best and fill the rest with the finest golf in southern Spain. Because Valderrama access is restricted, plan as early as you can. Talk to a specialist and we will secure the round.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a golf holiday in Spain cost?

Golf breaks in Spain start from £250 (≈ €295) (≈ $325) (≈ CA$465) (≈ AU$485) (≈ NZ$595) (≈ CHF 275) (≈ kr 3,165) (≈ kr 3,305) (≈ kr 2,225) per person for the hotel and the golf in that package. Airport transfers are included only where the package says so; otherwise they are an add-on we can arrange. The final price depends on your dates, room and group.

Do you arrange flights to Spain?

We can add flights, and flights we book are ATOL protected. If you would rather book your own, we arrange the hotel and tee times, and can add transfers and buggies.

Is my money protected?

Yes. Every booking is protected through Protected Trust Services (PTS), so your money is held in trust until you have travelled. Bookings that include flights are also ATOL protected.

Can you change the hotel, nights or courses?

Yes. The packages are a starting point. Tell us your dates, how many nights and which courses you want, and we will price that version, subject to availability.
