built 290 days ago
The Las Brisas Golf Club was founded by Jose Banús in 1968 under the name "Club de Golf Nueva AndalusÃa", and he would remain President of the Club until 1981. The American Robert Trent Jones, already considered by many as one of the best designers of golf courses in the world first finished constructing the Sotogrande course, then designed and constructed Las Brisas, and would then go on to design the Naranjos and Valderrama courses. The route, designed by Robert Trent Jones, presents several water obstacles, with ten artificial lakes fed by two streams. The greens are elevated for the most part, and are very well protected by bunkers. The consequences of his designs are layouts that require precision golf
Valderrama was constructed in 1974 to the designs of leading American golf course architect Robert Trent Jones. Before switching to its present name, it was known as "Sotogrande New" and "Las Aves". In 1984 it was acquired by a new owner, Jaime Ortiz-Patiño, and expanded by the original architect. By 1999, it was rated the number one course in mainland Europe by Golf World magazine.

The Valderrama golf course, Spain’s most exclusive, was designed by Robert Trent Jones. First opened in 1974, then redesigned in 1985, its immaculately tended fairways meander through rolling hills lined by cork oaks. The privilege of playing a round here is the stuff golfers’ dreams are made of. The club is ... home to a unique museum with displays of the earliest examples of golf balls and clubs, along with books, etchings and other antique golfing paraphernalia.
