Our take

El Rompido suits a small group that has come to play golf properly, with two nicely matured courses and water waiting to punish the careless.

Tell us who’s coming and how you like to play, and we’ll shape the right trip around you.

How it plays

What you are actually facing

18holes
72par
6,111yards
75mof climb
21water hazards

The walk. Flat, and an easy walk — 75 metres of climb over the round.

The wind. The wind is usually south-westerly, averaging 12 km/h, gusting to 38. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.

The water. 21 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.

The design. Álvaro Arana.

The holes that will cost you. The 8th, the 5th and the 14th. The 14th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.
