SAN ROQUE GOLF RESORT

San Roque Golf Resort lies between Gibraltar and Estepona, at the far west of the Costa del Sol on the Campo de Gibraltar. The resort is located on the outskirts of Sotogrande and is just a few kilometers from Alcaidesa. The whole residential and leisure development is centered around the famous San Roque Golf Course.

Only a stones throw away from the best courses in Spain, near the most internationally renowned cities and towns where you can get to know the excellent restaurants & bars, typical villages and beautiful countryside on the Mediterranean Coast, with its marvelous beaches and recreational facilities. The area is excellent for cycling and the roads are quiet with speed humps around the resort. There is a cycle lane that runs from Sotogrande International School all the way to Castellar de la Frontera.

Three hundred yards from the villa is an Equestrian Center, originally set up in association with Captain Mark Phillips, and now the base for a number of topflight polo ponies and international dressage horses. It also provides lessons for beginner's adult and child alike and local hacks for more experienced riders. The team at the Equestrian Center can ensure a memorable experience of enjoying Andalucia on horseback.

The clubs El Bolero restaurant is San Roque's flagship serving international cuisine and modern interpretations of classic Spanish cooking. Kamakura is one of Spain's best Japanese restaurants offering sushi, sashimi, tempura and teppanyaki dishes. In addition to these restaurants there is the bar serving drinks and food throughout the day.

The heart of the San Roque Club is golf; golfers can choose between 2 courses.
1. The demanding par 72 of The Old Course, the original course designed by Dave Thomas, that winds through cork oak forests with superb mountain views. For many years it has played host to memorable moments for the young pretenders and old campaigners alike. The course's tight, sloping fairways are lined by mature cork oak trees - demanding straight, accurate driving. Strategic bunker placement and deceptive water hazards threaten all but the most precise approach shots.

The greens are fast, contoured and true, rewarding well-judged putts and punishing anything else. Acknowledged for it's challenge throughout Europe, The Old Course provides a test for the very highest standard of golfer.
2. The New Course, created by legendary American course designer Perry Dye. The idea was to create a new course that is a challenge for scratch and low handicap golfers but that is also possible for higher handicap players to enjoy. To that end each hole has five different tee positions and fairways that are wider than those on The Old Course. Nevertheless, these fairways are designed to reward canny 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. More details....
