Club de Golf Valderrama is located in Andalucia, in the south of Spain.

Its world-renowned Championship Golf Course has a par of 71 and measures 6.356 metres, from its Professional tees.

The golf course was designed by Mr Robert Trent Jones Sr., the doyen of Golf Course Architects, in 1974, and during its early days it was firstly named Sotogrande New and then changed to Las Aves Golf Club in 1981.

Mr Jaime Ortiz Patiño purchased Las Aves Golf Club in 1984 - and with it some extra land, and at his request Mr Jones returned to re-design the course.

On 1^st January 1985, Club de Golf Valderrama was founded, thus creating the first page in its illustrious history.

Thanks to Mr Ortiz Patiño's desire, determination and hard work, it took Valderrama only a few years to attain its position in the Golf World rankings as the Number 1 Golf Course in mainland Europe, a position that Valderrama has proudly held and maintained since 1989.

Valderrama is now in the top 50 golf courses in the world.

Valderrama's quality speaks for itself with the Golf Club having hosted the flagship tournament of the European Tour, the Volvo Masters from 1988 to 1996.

This was followed in 1997 by the spectacularly exciting Ryder Cup Matches, won by Europe in an amazing atmosphere.

Then in 1999 and 2000, the finals of the World Golf Championships were hosted by Valderrama and were won by Tiger Woods and Mike Weir, respectively.

Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed a golf course which can be enjoyed equally by the handicap and scratch golfer.

His positioning of the tees and his shaping of the fairways allow the 24 handicap man and the 32 handicap lady to enjoy Valderrama as much as the top players in the world.

Mr Jaime Ortiz Patiño has created the most perfect golf course for you to enjoy.

Its playing condition is simply second to none.

Equally as beautiful as it is challenging, Valderrama offers all golfers the unique opportunity to play the best golf course in Europe.

The welcome you receive at the golf club will ensure that your visit to Valderrama will give you your ultimate golfing experience.
