Overview

A Jack Nicklaus “Signature” Course and 5-time venue of the Volvo Masters

Designed by the golfing legend Jack Nicklaus, and opened in 1993, the course at Montecastillo Golf Club is renowned as one of the best in Europe and has been ranked as highly as being the 53rd best course on the entire planet. Even Mr Nicklaus regards this course as one of his best designs.

After hosting the Turespana Masters in 1994, the club then welcomed the Volvo Masters, the flagship event of the PGA European Tour, from 1997 to 2001. The pedigree of this challenging course is never in doubt! And with the excellent on-site 5 star Barcelo Montecastillo Resort Hotel looking over the golf course and offering free golf for all residents, this is surely one of Spain’s finest golf resorts.

Sprawling over a vast area of 160 hectares Montecastillo Golf Club has everything. With the early holes challenging your game with their length, water in play on many of the holes around the turn and then steep slopes and tee shots over great voids towards the end of the 18 this is a true test of your golf game.

The fairways and greens at Montecastillo are always in great shape, with putting on the huge greens really testing this vital skill – 3 putts are unfortunately to be expected by most golfers!

A full range of practice facilities are of course available including 75 covered bays at the driving range, 3000sq metres of grass practice tees, short game area, putting and chipping greens. Montecastillo is an ideal location for a tuition trip with your club professional who can arrange access for your group to the superbly equipped private academy.

Please note that for pre-11am tee times the use of a buggy is compulsory, but can be booked with The Golf Travel People at discounted rates.

We can offer the buggies at a lower price than that if pre-booked and prepaid and if you book them for 4+ days then an even lower price is available!
