Make yourself at home in one of Europe’s best golf destinations

La Reserva Club, Sotogrande

Five world-class courses, stunning scenery, easy access, and a year-round climate that’s perfect for golf – Sotogrande has it all.

Sotogrande can be found at the southern tip of Spain, around 40 minutes from Marbella, 50 minutes from Malaga airport, and 20 minutes from Gibraltar. This location puts it within easy reach of all major European cities by air, and the enviable climate for year-round golf makes it one of Europe’s best golf and lifestyle destinations.

The destination, soon to be celebrating its 60^th anniversary, has been renowned throughout its existence for being home to an elite community who reside there largely due to the unrivaled proximity to some of Europe’s finest golf courses. Sotogrande is set amongst the hills of Andalucia on a spectacular stretch of the Costa del Sol. It’s also home to five first-class golf courses, which between them have hosted the Ryder Cup, World Golf Championships, DP World Tour, and Ladies European Tour.

Set atop the highest peak, La Reserva Club is considered one of the jewels in Sotogrande’s crown. Home to astonishing gated residential communities, this family-centric country club boasts an 18-hole championship course that was designed in 2003 by American architect, Cabell B. Robinson. The course features wide, sweeping fairways that lead onto large, undulating greens, alongside numerous challenging water features.

Sotogrande is also home to one of golf’s most recognisable names, and the 1997 Ryder Cup host venue – Real Club Valderrama. Topping the golf course rankings in Spain, it’s also one of the best golf courses in continental Europe; the immaculate winding fairways, charming cork trees, and tricky greens combine to deliver one of golf’s most exceptional challenges.

Set closer to the coastline, just a short drive from the marina, Real Club Sotogrande is another highlight. The Robert Trent Jones championship layout is the region’s first golf course, and its subtleties and classic ambiance to this day can excite and charm players in equal measure. Its half-a-century-old tight and picturesque holes will leave a lasting memory.

Almenara Golf, located next to the Los Alcornocales natural park, offers another varied and enjoyable option, with 27 holes over three 9-hole circuits. The entire property has also recently undergone extensive remodeling by the legendary local golfer, Manuel Piñero.

With this world-class golf offering within a 15-minute radius, Sotogrande may just be the ultimate destination for European golfers to visit or even make their home. Speaking of homes; the gated communities at La Reserva Club are the prime real estate offerings in the region – providing privacy, security, and authenticity, with state-of-the-art facilities on your doorstep.

Village Verde is the latest residential offering within the confines of La Reserva Club, with a two-phase collection of beautiful luxury apartments and penthouses. After the sell-out of Phase One, the development’s second phase was launched in July, with two new blocks confirmed. An additional block was launched in January this year and features two five-bed Sky Villas.

Designed with village living in mind, it’s comprised of 121 apartments that are nestled within six hectares of parkland, offering residents a unique sense of community. These contemporary apartments offer open-plan living, are flooded with light, and boast incredible dual aspects or wrap-around terraces from which to enjoy the warm Spanish sun.

This secure community will benefit from two pool areas (one complete with a sandy bottom), in addition to a lap pool, an indoor pool with a gym and spa area, a croquet lawn, a jogging trail, gardens, several play areas, and an outdoor gym. The peaceful setting, combined with a plethora of facilities will create a modern community like no other.
