El Bosque Golf Club
El Bosque is one of the standout early Spanish designs from the great Robert Trent Jones, created during his prolific run through the 1960s and 1970s. It sits proudly alongside names like Sotogrande, Las Brisas and Valderrama, with the same emphasis on strategy, shot placement and proper course management.
The course has recently been renovated following an investment of more than €3.5 million. The work was overseen by Cabell B. Robinson, keeping the feel of the original Trent Jones routing while bringing the playing surfaces and key infrastructure up to modern standards. Expect smarter conditioning, cleaner definition around hazards and greens that roll true.
Trent Jones courses are at their best when you commit to a plan, and El Bosque is no different. Water, bunkering and green contours are used to make you think, not just swing hard. Add in mature, tree-lined fairways and a tucked-away feel and you've got a round that's as enjoyable for repeat visitors as it is for first-timers. The renovation has sharpened those strategic questions, restoring bunker edges, improving drainage and refining green surfaces to ensure the course plays as intended.
Who is this for?
Golfers who love classic course design, tree-lined layouts and a more strategic test to mix into a broader Spanish itinerary.
Who is it best for?
Mid-to-low handicappers and confident holiday golfers who enjoy plotting their way round rather than relying purely on distance.

El Bosque Golf Club
Opened in 1975, the same year that the great Valderrama came was gifted to the golfing world, El Bosque is a classic layout that remains one of Spain’s most celebrated courses. The pine-ridden landscape north of Chiva is the basis for El Bosque, which is a test of golfing strategy and skill.
Measuring less than 7,000 yards, El Bosque cannot be compared to the monstrous new courses that typify the contemporary design era, but Trent Jones’ extraordinary reputation was not founded on creating long layouts that merely test the ball striking of visiting golfers. Rather, RTJ used his great subtlety and guile to manufacture an extraordinary challenge, and one which deserves to be held in the upper echelons of European golf.

Very enjoyable members course. For the men in our party the only disappointment was that almost all the various men's tees on almost all holes were closed for maintenance, so we had to play off very forward tees - probably shortened the course by some 600-700 yards for us compared with regular visitor tees. The ladies were off the tees they would have used anyway. Fairways were broad, rough was not quite benign and, other than in the water, there were few places to lose balls. The design, especially around water features was really good, requiring precise distance control on some approach shots. Plenty of elevation through the course, without it being a mountain climb. Certainly OK to walk, though electric trolleys made that a lot easier. Nice clubhouse, terrace and bar overlooking the 1st/18th. Got round both times in under 4 hours....maybe course less busy than usual because of the tees maintenance though?
