Relatively young in Spanish golf terms, opened in 2003 La Reserva Club Sotogrande perfectly continues the legacy of top end golf courses in this part of the world. Alongside the famous Valderrama and Real Club de golf Sotogrande it would be easy to fade into obscurity, however a recent addition onto the list of ‘Platinum Clubs of the world’ for 2024-5 and subsequently ranked as one of the top 12 courses in Spain by Golf World magazine more than shows the quality available here. Amongst more famous and historical neighbours La Reserva will surely age delicately in the golf sphere and
eventually be considered equal to these older brothers.
Carved delicately into the hillside with beautiful views in almost every direction, the 18-hole championship course was designed in 2003 by acclaimed course architect Cabell B. Robinson.

The course is a par 72 and set up in these hole designations: 4 par 3’s, 10 par 4’s and 4 par 5’s with the following tee box distances:
In conclusion to play La Reserva club Sotogrande is to experience a club listed in the top 1% of private courses globally. Do not be swayed by the more famous and historical neighbours, they certainly do not overshadow the quality and service available here!
