About Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande
Sotogrande sits at the quieter, western end of the Costa del Sol, and a stay-and-play here trades the busier resort strips for something calmer. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is one of the most respected members' clubs in southern Spain, so the golf comes with a real sense of occasion rather than a holiday-factory feel. The set-up is straightforward: you stay nearby on a bed and breakfast basis, then play your rounds with tee times arranged for you.
It suits golfers who care about the quality of the course they are playing and want a relaxed base, whether that is a pair, a small group or a couple where one plays. A typical break runs to three nights, two rounds, bed and breakfast from

Our take
Real Sotogrande brings a real sense of occasion, a Robert Trent Jones design at one of the most respected members' clubs in the south.
- Serious golfersTrent Jones at his most classical, with water in play on eight holes and the 2nd and the 12th doing the real damage. Come with your game sharp, this is not a course you bluff your way round.
- CouplesThe quieter western end of the Costa del Sol suits a calm stay-and-play, bed and breakfast nearby with tee times arranged for you, and none of the holiday-factory feel of the busier resort strips.
- Higher handicapsExpect a bruising if your game is loose. Water comes into play on eight holes and there is enough climb to make it a moderate walk, so take a buggy, play from the forward tees and treat the day as an occasion.
Tell us who’s coming and how you like to play, and we’ll shape the right trip around you.
What you are actually facing
The walk. Moderate. 111 metres of climb over the round.
The wind. The wind is usually easterly, averaging 13 km/h, gusting to 33. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.
The water. 8 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.
The design. Robert Trent Jones.
The holes that will cost you. The 2nd, the 12th and the 6th. The 6th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.
