Golf Breaks In Spain

Course Summary

Valderrama Golf is the jewel in the crown here in Spain and arguably Europe.

The course is completely covered in cork trees over-lapping the lush green fairways making some driving and approach shots very difficult indeed, but then you wouldn’t want this golf course to be easy!

Course Details

You get a feeling when you stand on the 1st tee and the starter announces the start of what is an amazing round of golf that you are standing where “Sevi” stood and many other greats of the golf world and that is why playing Valderrama is a must for any golfer.

The fairways are inviting and fair, but you have to pay attention to the course planner otherwise after hitting what you might think is a great shot be disappointed to find you have been left without a clear shot to the green. Remember BUY A COURSE PLANNER!

The 4^th par 5 is one of the nicest holes i have played with the beautiful cascade of water running along and up the side of the rather small green and if you hit that you will be very pleased.

As with the famous 17^th and if you are a big hitter then your goal is to make this difficult par 5 in 2! Go on, you may only play it once and if you get in the position you have to have a go with your 3 wood.

If not, play a nice safe shot and try to get on AND STAY ON as the green has a treacherous slope that could see your ball go all the way back into the water……………..Good luck.

A Par 71 Championship Course it is 6392 metres from the professional tees and has seen so many greats in golf battling it out in the VOLVO MASTERS (1988-96) the Ryder Cup (1997) and the World Golf Championships (1999-2000)

Valderrama’s reputation as the number 1 golf course in Europe is indisputable.Now it could become your number 1.
