Montecastillo Resort
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.
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.

Montecastillo's 18th is the perfect closing hole to your round. From the 66 yard elevated tee, you are greeted with spectacular panoramic views of the course, and can see Montecastillo lining the right hand side of the hole. Although the fairway is wide, the lake on the left will always leave a lingering worry in your mind as to whether your ball may find itself into the water!

Nice 4/5* hotel . Unfortunately despite brilliant sunny weather both outdoor pool areas closed with no sun loungers . Only pool available was small spa pool which cost E15 per swim . No spike bar although lovely sunny terrace to enjoy a coffee or post match beer.Hotel is next to jerez race track so be prepared for noice from motor cycle and race car testing?practice.
Overall we had a great trip and the weather was perfect for the golf at 23 deg. We even got a free room upgrade to one of the villa's which was great.
Barcelo Monte Castillo was a superb stay for the New Year. Clean,friendly, festive and professionally run. Staff were excellent and the organisation and execution of the gala dinner is to be commended.
The hotel was lovely, the buffet menu was really high quality and the breakfast was superb. The hotel standard was excellent and we thought the price was very reasonable too. All in all, we were delighted with the hotel.
Rooms clean and comfortable. Facilities good. Breakfast and dinner buffets were varied with plenty of choice
We have not stayed in this hotel for two years and they have continued to improve the embiance of the hotel and the buffet. It’s popularity and value for money meant that it was full and tee times difficult to book so I would suggest you book early.
We had a superior twin with golf views and the rooms were spacious and very clean, with great views and a balcony. The quality of the food was excellent and a great choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The majority of the staff were very friendly and helpful with just a couple that were miserable
On arrival was offered a free upgrade to the villa's, so that was a big plus, food and drink all inc, no complaints service was very professional
We had a very good trip all in all. The weather the first 2 days was awesome but it was a bit chilly and windy thereafter...still great fun though!
The hotel room was very nice, and had just been renovated. I believe they are renovating all the rooms so the resort is on the up. The restaurants and bar were well decorated with a nice friendly atmosphere and the food although basic, was plentiful and tasty.
The golf course was great. Overall the greens, fairways and bunkers were all in great shape. The paths are starting to look slightly worn and battered but that happens with time I guess. It’s a little harder for the higher handicapper but still a great test of golf and very rewarding with some breathtaking views.
The members of staff at the resort were friendly and helpful overall and the pro shop assistant was even happy to book other courses for us during our stay.
YGT were top drawer. I was worried that booking through a travel agent would mean we suffer on comfort a little but not this time! We got a great deal too.
We would definitely go back to Montecastillo Resort and
always via YGT.
I go away with yourgolftravel.com a few times a year and it’s hard to find a venue that offers better value for money than Montecastillo. We always keep an eye out for the unlimited golf packages and if you go at the right time of year, it’s an absolute steal. And let’s face it...in Spain there really isn’t a wrong time of year as it’s always sunny!
The golf course here is good fun and in fairly good condition considering the amount of foot traffic it must get. The tee shot from the final tee is great fun, with the Wentworth-like hotel off in the distance, beckoning you to finish up and enjoy an ice cold beer!
For a no frills golf trip where all you’re really looking for is lots of golf, a comfortable hotel and peaceful surroundings, Montecastillo really takes some beating, especially when you consider the price.
Thoroughly recommended, as are
yourgolftravel.com.
Just got back from our Golf Holiday to Spain and the Montecastillo Resort...what a place!
The course is no Valderrama but Jack Nicklaus has laid down a really enjoyable track all the same and we never tired of playing the course, even though we were taking full advantage of the Unlimited Golf that was part of our package.
There’s a good variety of holes and the conditioning, while not 100% immaculate, was more than adequate. The greens in particular (the most important thing I’m sure most would agree) were quick and true with signs or foot traffic only appearing late in the evening.
The only drawback was that play was a little slow. However we were on holiday and are aware that this is the case on the majority of resort courses...keep calm and carry on as they say! We certainly weren’t going to let the odd wait for a green to clear hamper our enjoyment that’s for sure!
The hotel is excellent and ticks all the boxes for a group of golfers. Rooms were comfortable, food was decent and having a few beers in the evening after a long day on the course was perfectly satisfying for our group!
The best thing about the trip? The value for money we got was quite unbelievable really...budget prices for fantastic quality AND quantity does it for me anyway!
As ever YGT were excellent and we’ll be in touch soon to book our next break.
All in all, we had a very good trip at Montecastillo. The weather over the first 2 days was awesome and while it was a bit chilly and windy thereafter, it was still great fun! Just wanted to write a few points about the resort golf wise and generally:
1. The hotel room was very nice and had just been renovated; perfectly adequate for a golfer’s requirements.
2. The restaurants and bar were comfortable and had a nice, friendly atmosphere. The food, although not haute cuisine, was plentiful and very tasty.
3. The golf course was fantastic. In general the greens, fairways, bunkers and tees were all in great shape. I’d say the course is a little harder for the higher handicapper but still a great test and very rewarding with some breathtaking views throughout.
4. The staff overall were friendly and helpful. The pro shop assistance even booked other courses for us during our stay because we felt like more, more and more golf!
6. YGT were top drawer throughout the booking process. I was worried that booking through a travel agent would mean we suffer on comfort a little but not this time and a great deal too. Good job YGT!
We’ll be back in touch for next
year’s golf holiday and with Montecastillo in mind, we’d certainly recommend it
to other golfers.

Great challenging course, we all really enjoyed it and can’t wait to play it again
This is a proper Championship golf course and not for the fainthearted or the high handicapper. It measures over 6,600yds off the yellow tees and every hole requires thought and accuracy.Lots of beautiful elevated tees to enjoy but hilly and long walks from green to tee means carrying a full bag is an option only for the young and very fit . We carried a half set for 9 holes on the first day and thereafter bought a 4 day buggy package at E35.70 per buggy per round .Overall it is a fantastic golf course for a mid handicapper. I am 64 years of age and 19 handicapper and 29 points was my best score of the week but loved the challenge. Lots of water so bring plenty of balls but it is well worth the effort and there is no issue about playing after 12 noon and enjoying free golf !!
The course in general was fair with very fast greens especially if you got the wrong side of the hole. Play was a little slow but that's usual on these type of resort courses. Overall very enjoyable.
Majority of the course was in great condition.Certain areas of the buggy carts are in dire need of repair and could be classed as mildly dangerous. Thought i was driving on UK potholed roads!!!. However the weather, company on the course and the setting will take me back.
Lovely course, unfortunately there was a large competition when we were there, they had block bookings coinciding with our times so we were moved and were then very slow. It was apparently sprung on the hotel by the competition organisers, we were told, but it did overshadow an otherwise superb experience. Hopefully next time this will not happen. The other issue was the buggies, quite old and doddery, as well as expensive, we were told new ones are on order for january but they do need updating.
Enjoyed the golf with some really interesting holes and a variety of challenges ranging from relatively straight forward to hard. Golf was not charged and was an “add on” but the cost of buggies made the deal less of a bargain. We mistakenly thought we had buggies included and then had to pay €48 per buggy (people who played before midday were €78). We felt a bit conned because of this expectation.
Book early as the hotel is very popular and tee times at a premium
Although the rounds were slow - 4.5hours for a two ball in a buggy, you accept it as 'holiday golf'. We did get paired up after 9 holes with another 2 ball, which was fine. We thought the buggies were expensive - €48 per buggy per day, but you need one as the distances from green to tee were a long way.
Stunning, loved it, course is challenging but fair...
