Real Golf Club de San Sebastián, Golf course in Hondarribia, Spain
Description
The Real Golf Club de San Sebastián is a golf course in Irun situated on the slopes of Mount Jaizkibel, featuring an 18-hole layout spread across rolling terrain. The design incorporates significant elevation changes, with fairways winding through wooded areas and clearings that create distinct playing conditions.
History
The club was established in 1910 as a sports center in Lasarte before moving to its present location in the early 1960s to accommodate growth. The relocation allowed the course to take fuller advantage of the mountainous terrain available at the new site.
Culture
The course draws players who value its location near the French border and the role it plays as a meeting point for golfers from across the Basque region and beyond. Visitors often appreciate how the setting connects them to both the local landscape and international golfing traditions.
Practical
Players should expect hilly terrain and wear appropriate footwear, as wind is common and weather can be changeable due to the mountain location. Booking ahead is essential, and visitors should remain flexible about timing since conditions in the elevated terrain can shift quickly.

The fifth hole drops steeply downhill, demanding skillful shots from players on a falling fairway, while the eighteenth climbs back up toward the green set among trees. These two holes are known for their dramatic elevation changes and remain memorable for anyone playing the course.
