Torrequebreda golf course was one of the first designs of celebrated Spanish architect José Gancedo back in the mid 1970s...
Torrequebreda golf course was one of the first designs of celebrated Spanish architect José Gancedo back in the mid 1970s when “Pepe” gave due notice to the golfing world that he had the ability and talent to lay out a golf course in an intelligent and adventurous manner.
Gancedo is renowned for pushing the boundaries of modern golf course design and he would go on to put his highly individualistic stamp on great Spanish courses as diverse as Monte Mayor (which is currently closed), Lerma and La Finca.
Torrequebreda is not too long at around 6,400 yards but length is no indication of difficulty here as the course hugs the contours on a hilly landscape, testing golfers to the full with an array of sparkling water hazards, doglegged fairways and cunningly-placed greenside bunkers.
The tree-lined fairways rise and fall over the challenging terrain, twisting one way then the other, rising here then dipping there on a real roller coaster golf ride that sees many visiting golfers return for a stern examination of their golf game year after year.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
