Surrounding the hotel and clubhouse, Almenara has 27 holes that were designed by Dave Thomas, the man responsible for many great golfing projects, most notably The Belfry.
The three loops are called Los Alcornoques, Los Pinos and Los Lagos, and together they offer three different par-72 combinations, providing welcome variety. The gently undulating fairways meander through the truly stunning landscape around the lakes, and are bordered by pine, cork and oak trees. Set in the higher area of Sotogrande, the course is less than 500 metres from the legendary Valderrama golf course, host of the Ryder Cup and Volvo Masters.
Almenara is a fantastic resort course, providing a genuine challenge for highly skilled players, but Thomas’ considerate design and the multitude of tee boxes ensure that the average golfer will not be overwhelmed.
