A game at Valderrama is one to anticipate with relish and savour forever. No course on the continent is manicured more flawlessly and while the tight passages among the cork oaks make it capable of beating up the best players, it is a bucket-list course that you’ll adore if you embrace the challenge.

The La Reserva Club opened in 2003 and is carved into the hillside, ensuring spectacular holes and views. It enjoyed a 13-place rise in our most recent ranking of the best golf courses in continental Europe, sitting 59th.

Another course that benefited from the skill of Cabell Robinson in routing over severe terrain that could have compromised the final quality. Instead, there are some standout holes, epic downhill drives and Mediterranean views – and you won’t find many in better condition
