Almenara Golf course
The Almenara Golf course is characterised by wooden terrain of pine trees and cork oaks in the front nine and with water on the back nine. Unless your exceptionally straight you are likely to find yourself in both.
Two large lakes make it a picturesque course with a floodlit driving range adding to the sparkle of the water in the evenings. The greens are of a good standard but quite small.
A challenging golf course with narrow and hilly fairways and typical high lipped fairway bunkers.
The complex is situated on the Sotogrande estate and near the the courses of Valdarrama and San Roque. It is well worth playing if you are staying in this area but it does not compare in quality or design with it two famous neighbours.
A difficult course to walk if you are not fit.
the Almenara golf course is also home to the Almenara School of Excellence with all modern amenities for golf practice. The school has a capacity of 90 players, 3 normal size practice holes, approach and putting areas and a swing video analysis.
Owned by Sotogrande S.A. the golf course has its own 150 room resort and a nice club house complex. The changing rooms are excellent. The only real option of a drink after playing is the club house which is a little bit pricey.
