Southern Spain - Costa Del Sol

Southern Spain's Costa del Sol has evolved into European golf royalty since Robert Trent Jones Sr. unveiled Real Club de Golf Sotogrande in 1964 as his first European design. His subsequent creations—Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Real Club Valderrama—established championship standards that endure today. Valderrama earned royal status in 2014, having famously hosted the 1997 Ryder Cup.
