Home to Seve Ballesteros, José María Olazábal, Sergio Garcia and Jon Rahm, Spain is one of the great golf nations on earth and a destination where championship courses stretch from the sun-drenched Andalusian coast to the forested hills of Catalonia. The journey begins in Sotogrande, where Real Club Valderrama, number one in Spain, number one in continental Europe and inside the world's top 100, sets the standard. Robert Trent Jones Sr designed it, Seve Ballesteros refined it, and in 1997 it hosted the first Ryder Cup ever played outside the British Isles, where Seve captained Europe to a famous victory on home soil. Minutes away, Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, Jones's first European design from 1964, sits alongside La Reserva Club, Cabell B. Robinson's hillside masterpiece ranked 52nd in Europe, and San Roque Club, Dave Thomas's 1990 layout through ancient cork oak woods that formed the original golden triangle of golf in Andalusia. Between Sotogrande and Marbella, Finca Cortesin hosted the 2023 Solheim Cup, the first ever played in Spain, and sits in the global top fifty. In Marbella's Golf Valley, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas hosted the 1973 World Cup of Golf, Los Naranjos threads 5,000 orange trees through a classic championship parkland and La Zagaleta sits on a 900-hectare private estate above Benahavís where Africa and Gibraltar are visible on the horizon. In Catalonia, Real Club de Golf El Prat's Pink Course has hosted the Spanish Open ten times and returns to the DP World Tour in 2026, Camiral Resort's Stadium Course will host the 2031 Ryder Cup and Empordà Golf's Links Course on the Costa Brava has hosted European Tour events since 1993.
