Costa Ballena Ocean Golf Club
Cadiz » Alcaidesa Links
Alcaidesa Links Golf Club, which opened in June 1992, is an
experience that cannot be found anywhere else in Spain: it is the
nearest thing to a links course in the country. Located to the West
of The San Roque Club in an area rich with enthusiastic golfers
the course has recently undergone an extensive programme of
remodelling: fairways have been improved and widened, new 10th
and 11th holes have been built, and the greens have been levelled
off with the result that the layout is now much more forgiving
and acceptable for golfers of all abilities. The club takes its golf
very seriously and is committed to achieving the same standards
as those of its illustrious neighbours. Magnificent views over the
Mediterranean to Gibraltar offer one an excuse to take a breather
at the cliff top to drink in the scene before tackling the next hole.
Cadiz » Costa Ballena (Ocean)
The 18-hole Costa Ballena Ocean Golf Club was designed by José
María Olazábal and is characterised by spacious tees and for its
suitability for professionals and high handicappers alike. Water
is a major feature. There are four lakes and the green at the parthree 16th is virtually an island. The course, which opened in 1997,
is set amid a residential and touristic development of the same
name. Costa Ballena Ocean Golf Club also offers a nine-hole
short course.

Cadiz » Sherry Golf
This easy-to-access golf course is located 1.5 Km from Jerez town
centre, only 10 minutes from Jerez airport, (50 minutes from
Seville airport) and just 12 minutes from the beach. Sherry Golf
Jerez is designed by Stirling & Martín, and is a golf course suitable
both for amateurs as well as demanding professionals. It is in the
new design concept of American golf courses- safe to play in,
interesting, without great slopes that make playing hard. Its wide
fairways and greens make of Sherry Golf Jerez a very exclusive golf
course indeed. In the 1,800 m2 Casa Club, built in the Jerez design,
you can enjoy the sunny weather. Its top facilities also include
pro-shop, clubs room, changing room, terrace grill, cafeteria, and
restaurant for your business dinners where you can request menu
suggestions at different prices.
Cadiz » La Cañada
Municipal La Cañada is a fitting tribute to the people of Guadiaro
who, three decades ago, became greenkeepers and golf addicts
overnight with the emergence of Sotogrande. The Robert
Trent Jones course is open to the same winds as neighbouring
Valderrama. The long first hole sets the tone for a tough round
and the 4th is a trek into the unknown with no view of the green
until the third shot. La Cañada recently extended to 18-holes
thanks to a Dave Thomas design.
