BARCELÓ MONTECASTILLO RESORT

Location: 5 miles NE of central Jerez, 4 miles South of Jerez de la Frontera Airport


Barceló

The golf course at the Montecastillo Resort was designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, who rates it as one of his best creations in Europe.

The course hosted the cream of the European Tour for the end-of-season Volvo Masters from 1997-2001, underlining how good the Golden Bear's layout is. Since then it has received a shot in the arm with a €2 million investment scheme, which included extensive olive tree plantations, a new drainage system and GPS technology.

The beauty of Montecastillo is that despite the fact that it hosts prestigious professional tournaments, it remains a manageable proposition for the average golfer thanks to a variety of tees. The internationally renowned course is undoubtedly a highlight of Andalucia's rich golfing portfolio, and in conjunction with the tremendous neighbouring hotel makes for a memorable Spanish golf holiday.

The Barceló Montecastillo Resort has forged an impressive reputation in the Jerez area and beyond, not just as a result of the Nicklaus golf course. The hotel is elegant and simple, and prides itself on ensuring outstanding hospitality.

The accommodation is comprised of 163 bedrooms, 7 luxurious suites, and 38 villas, all of which are decorated and furnished to echo the traditional Andalucian style, and are fitted with extras like air-conditioning and satellite television.

The attentive service that all visitors are assured of will allow guests to focus on enjoying the sights of Jerez, the locally produced sherry, and most importantly Jack Nicklaus' terrific golf course.

Montecastillo's leisure facilities include a heated indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room, dry sauna and fitness centre. Meanwhile, there are 4 purpose-built treatment rooms, a Hydrotherapy room and a Hydromassage bath, in addition to the two full size football pitches, jogging track, athletics track, tennis court and two outdoor swimming pools.

The nearby town of Jerez is famous for two things: sherry and flamenco. Having a good time is not difficult here, and visitors are sure of a genuine Spanish experience. The local region is where sherry was first produced, and connoisseurs will appreciate the endless varietals that are available. Jerez is also noted for the lively flamenco dancing that is a feature of the nightlife, while the less squeamish may choose to visit the bull ring to see the famous toreadors in action.

Monecastillo's golf course receives more than 3,000 hours of sun every year, helping to explain why it is such a favourite with golfers.

The El Lagar restaurant is located within the hotel, and serves a good variety of international and locally influenced cuisine.

Head to Bar del Castillo for some traditional tapas and drinks.

Of all its rich produce, Jerez is most famous for its fino and amontillado sherry.
