GOLFING MECCA

The province of Cádiz is now a Mecca for golfers, despite being a newcomer to the sport.  The fact that the province’s golf courses have not been in existence for very long has not stopped it becoming one of Europe’s best golfing destinations.  Nearly twenty Cádiz golf courses have made history despite their newness, and nowadays thousands of golfers visit the province to play on the courses favoured by the greatest. Severiano Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Tiger Woods, Colin Montgomerie, Olazábal, Sergio García... the biggest names in golf have left unforgettable memories on these courses in southern Andalucía. Some played in the Ryder Cup at Valderrama, others in the Volvo Masters at Montecastillo. Some, like R. Trent Jones and Jack Nicklaus, have imprinted the courses with their signatures and their designs.

MAKING HISTORY

The golf courses in the province of Cádiz currently host a large number of important tournaments, including the Volvo Masters, whose 18th edition took place at Valderrama (San Roque) between the 27th and 30th October. The same club also hosted the Ryder Cup in 1997 and nine consecutive editions of the Volvo Masters, and it was the venue for the American Express World Golf Championships in 1999 and 2000. The course has deservedly been selected as the best in Europe by the golfing press on several occasions.

The prestigious Novo Sancti Petri course was the venue for the Tourespaña Masters Open of Andalucía in 1993.

The Sotogrande Royal Golf Club, the oldest in the province, held the 35th European Nations Cup of Jerez Championship in 2004 and since 1995, together with the San Roque Club, it has been the venue of the PGA European Tour Qualifying
