An attractively
landscaped course designed by Dave Thomas that
is both challenging and fair. Fairways are wide
and lined with mature trees. There are water hazards
on many holes and the course is renowned for its
large bunkers. A tremendous challenge and a favourite
with UK golfers. The 18th is amongst the finest
finishing holes in Europe.
The San Roque Club is the social heart of this
area of far west Costa del Sol. Special
events are sometimes held here, including outdoor concerts during the summer months
The New Course designed by the renowned American
course designer Perry Dye is a second championship
golf course at The San Roque golf Club that was
built in 2002. 6626 metres from the championship
tees. It aims to complement the Old Course, while
presenting a very different challenge.
The course incorporates the contours of the San
Roque hills, giving golfers wonderful views to
the Guadalquiton River and the Mediterranean Sea
beyond.
The idea was to create a course that is a challenge
for scratch and low handicap golfers, but that
is also possible for higher handicap players to
enjoy. Each hole has five different tee positions
and fairways that are wider than those on the
Old Course. However, these fairways are designed
to reward clever tactics and skilful drive placement.
Water hazards guard four of the greens, also defended
by more than a hundred strategic bunkers, which
lie in wait for wayward or ambitious drivers.
