One of the jewels in the Costa del Sol's golfing crown, San Roque Old Course is often talked about as a Sotogrande must-play and it's easy to see why once you've stood on those tight, tree-framed tees. Dave Thomas's original design has a proper reputation with tour pros and everyday members alike. I'll be honest, it's one of those courses where you feel it from the opening tee shot.
The setting alone makes the Old Course special. Rolling Andalusian hills frame every hole, while established cork trees punctuate fairways and create natural corridors that force you to think carefully about every approach. Course management is everything here. You'll find bunkers that pinch landing areas off the tee, plus smaller greens than many neighbouring courses, so iron play really matters. If you're used to wide resort fairways, this is a different day out. Keep it in play, take your medicine when you're blocked by cork trees and you'll enjoy it far more than trying to force hero shots.
The 17th hole is the standout. This par-5 meanders beautifully through cork trees before climbing to an elevated green ringed by sand. It's reachable in two for longer hitters, but the risk-reward calculation is real. Get it wrong and you can easily drop two or three shots in the closing stretch.
San Roque Old Course has hosted stages of European Tour Qualifying School and The Spanish Open, so you're walking fairways that have tested the best players in Europe. You can see that pedigree in the way the holes ask questions, especially on approach where the smaller greens don't give you much slack. Golfers return year after year because this is one of the most complete tests in Sotogrande and a layout that rewards strategy over power. If you're building a Sotogrande golf break, San Roque Old is one that's well worth slotting into the itinerary, especially if your group enjoys a more strategic test.
Who is this for?
Golfers looking for a genuine championship test in Sotogrande, with a preference for strategic, tree-lined layouts over wide-open resort courses.
Who is it best for?
Confident mid-handicappers and above who enjoy course management challenges, smaller target greens and the chance to play a layout with serious European Tour pedigree.

San Roque Club, Old Course
San Roque's Old Course was officially unveiled in 1990, and was designed by the legendary Dave Thomas, the man responsible for so many terrific projects at home and abroad. Following revision work on the bunkering by Seve Ballesteros, the Old Course hosted the European Tour's finest professionals for the 2005 Spanish Open.
The course is an exacting proposition, whose tight, sloping fairways wind through the cork trees that make the estate so famous, affording incredible views of the surrounding mountains. The inward half is the more spectacular, traversing the rolling hills and demanding brave carries over the cavernous gullies. The closing holes take in the shimmering lakes at the centre of the resort, presenting a finish as beautiful as it is challenging.
With an internationally renowned golf academy and two of the region's finest championship course, visiting the San Roque Club is an essential component of any good golfing holiday in Southern Spain.

They are doing a lot of building work around the clubhouse and first couple of holes which left us concerned that this course might be a bit of a let down. However once we got away from the building works it was well up to the standard of the other 3 courses. Again great use of terrain.

The best course we played all week. Teeing areas well maintained and course well manicured. Easy walking course.
Good views , well defined penalty areas and smooth greens. Should hurry to play this course as it will be members only soon. I would return to play this course. The difference in condition between this course and the New course is bizarre unless you consider that members do not play it and therefore it gets less attention. Lots of members only areas within the bar, restaurant and patio facilities. Good practice facilities.

We got the impression that it was very much a members course, with visitors tolerated rather encouraged and welcomed. We played later in the day and the greens were a little ‘scratchy’
