San Roque Club, Old Course

Overview

The San Roque Club, formerly the home of the Domecq sherry family sits on a backdrop surrounded by hills and historic cork oak woods. The centrepiece of the club is the Domecq mansion, now the Clubhouse.

Inaugurated in 1991, designed by Dave Thomas, the San Roque Old Course along with Real Valderrama and Real Club de Sotogrande became known as the golden triangle of golf. As well as hosting the team and their families in 1997 during the Ryder Cup held in neighbouring Valderrama.

New ownership led to the Old Course undergoing a program of full renovation and rebuild through 2020:

New greens, tees and fairways throughout
A completely new bunker system
Modern irrigation and drainage installed across the course
Routing changes – the former 10th is now the 1st, along with adjustments to bunker placement and hole flow.

The Old Course is now a 6,311 metres, Par 72 course. The renovation has not changed its fundamental character, still set within 340 acres of peaceful Andalucian countryside and ancient cork oak woods, but it is now structurally ‘up to par’, more consistent and, importantly, more sustainable.

The impressive Clubhouse, locker rooms and restaurant, also fully updated, offer golfers and their guests a relaxed and elegant experience from pre game breakfast through to sundown cocktails and dinner.

Practice facilities

The Golf Academy at The San Roque Club has been transformed into a state of the art teaching facility with the help of their PGA multi lingual professionals and modern technology.
