Valderrama Golf Club

Valderrama Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course in San Roque featuring a challenging layout with carefully maintained fairways and greens. The design incorporates numerous sand bunkers positioned strategically throughout to create a technically demanding playing experience.

The site was founded in 1974 as Las Aves and took its current form when purchased in 1984 by Jaime Ortiz-Patiño. The new owner commissioned a complete redesign that transformed it into one of Europe's most demanding courses.

The course became central to Spain's golf identity after hosting one of the sport's greatest competitions, establishing itself as a symbol of the country's standing in international golf. Players travel from around the world seeking the demanding experience it offers.

The location sits in a region with warm weather year-round, making it playable across different seasons. Visitors should prepare for a challenging round and allow ample time to work through the demanding layout.

The seventeenth hole features an elevated green surrounded by water and strategic bunkers that challenge even experienced players. This single hole has become an emblem of the course's overall difficulty.
