What an amazing experience, Valderrama absolutely deserves #1 course in Europe status. From the very moment we entered we were looked after exceptionally. Special mention to Tommy our forecaddie, made it all the more enjoyable. Fabulous facilities, such welcoming staff, absolute joy, worth every penny. Can’t wait to return.

Valderrama is a very exclusive and prestigious resort that more than lives up to its reputation. I had an absolutely exceptional time, the course quality was fantastic and it was the perfect challenge for me. The facilities were exceptional, as were the staff that are a true credit to the club.

Ahh, Mecca! The golf course of the area. Well worth the money. You are greeted by the course manager and feel at home from the start.
Tight fairways, but didn't have to worry about loosing many balls.
If you are on the wrong side of the fairway, you have a cork tree in your way.
Greens were VERY small. A challenge to read and quite fast. I played it on a blustery day... 25 m/hr winds and had a wonderful time! Try the 11th, par 5, 500 meters long straight into a 25mph wind. That is a loooong hole!
