San Roque Golf Club
San Roque
Old Course and New course
If your
coming to Malaga to play some serious golf, then the Old
Course at San Roque is a must. It’s up at the top end of
the price bracket but if you like your golf it’s well
worth a visit. If you’re over here on a bit of a social
golf tour or have a mix of standards it may not be
worth the price.
The
course is set in a cork forest and there is not to much
real estate development yet. The Old course has some
long par 4’s and fast and excellent quality greens. The
front 9 is quite tight while the back nine opens up a
little. The water hazards on the last few holes can
easily ruin a good score card.
The new
course is not so demanding and the first few holes are a
bit disappointing but the latter part of the course is
very enjoyable. If you're playing both the courses we would
suggest you play the new course first.
The
course regularly hosts the PGA qualifying rounds and is
always in good condition, though some times we have
found the fairways a bit over watered.
The
course has a drinks buggy.
The
changing rooms are of very good standard with
complementary towels.
The
Course has it own 5 star hotel, the San Roque Suites,
developed around the family mansion of the old Domecq
sherry dynasty. The location is quiet but makes a great
spot if you’re organsing your company management
meeting or want a low key stag weekend. With the courses
of Valderrama and the two courses of Sotogrande this is
an ideal location to play some of the best courses in
Europe.
