San Roque Old

This superb golfing complex of San Roque is one of Europe's most secluded and exclusive set in the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja. The on-site Hotel that is part of the complex offers 5 star accommodation and played host to both teams at the 1997 Ryder Cup.  San Roque has also played host to the annual PGA European Tour Qualifying School on a number of occasions.

 

The 18 hole championship course was a result of a joint effort by British designer Dave Thomas and the Japanese owner Asahi Kanko in anticipation of it hosting major European Championship events and founded in 1990.

 

Regarded as one of the finest in Spain, the course has two distinct loops.  The first 9 holes is set in century old cork trees and will eventually return you to the clubhouse, the second 9 are considered to be that little bit more open but you will have negotiate some serious water hazards, notably at the 12th and 18th, with meandering streams and ponds to avoid. The course offers a mixture of short and long par 4's, par 5's and some excellent par 3's. San Roque rewards the accurate golfer who can overcome the tight fairways and tiered undulating greens whilst offering up a challenge for all standards.

 

One thing you can expect at San Roque is that the course is always presented in magnificent condition. The fairways are well dressed, the bunkers look a picture and the greens are usually immaculate. This is all part of the high standards offered complex.
