I've given this an average rating for difficulty, but that's probably because I played Valderrama the day before and after that anything would be easier. Facilities and staff superb, real 'member's club' feel about it without being snobby. Played the front nine with a member which helped. Receptive, decent speed greens and very good food in the clubhouse afterwards with my new Dutch friends.
One of the jewels in The Costa del Sol's golfing crown, San Roque Old Course often tops the lists for must-plays in Spain. The Old Course is one of the most challenging in Sotogrande with the original design by Dave Thomas being heralded among professionals and amateurs alike.
Framed by rolling hills and established cork trees, The Old Course is truly unique golfing experience. Expect course management to be tested with plenty of bunkers in play and greens are smaller than you'd see at other courses.
Memorable holes include the 17th that is a great par-5 that meanders through cork trees with an elevated green surrounded by bunkers. Reachable in two but one that can easily ruin a round.
As a previous host of European Tour Qualifying School as well as The Spanish Open, golfers playing The Old Course at San Roque are ticking off one of the very best in Spain and Europe that golfers return to year-after-year.
