Whether spectating or participating, LIV Golf Andalucía 2025 is crafted to offer an immersive and entertaining experience for every attendee.

Sotogrande is much more than Valderrama. The region is a golfing paradise with an exceptional variety of top-level courses, all within a 15-minute radius.

The Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, also designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., offers a more forgiving yet equally elegant experience, with open fairways and sea views.

La Reserva Club Sotogrande is a modern masterpiece by Cabell B. Robinson, featuring wide fairways, scenic water features, and first-class service.

The San Roque Club includes two distinguished courses: the Old Course, redesigned with input from Seve Ballesteros, and the more modern New Course, both offering top-notch facilities.

Just a short drive away, La Hacienda Links Golf Resort in Alcaidesa offers a coastal experience with sea views from nearly every hole, including the dramatic new Links Course.

Other notable courses in the area include Almenara Golf Club, located in Sotogrande Alto, offering a 27-hole layout surrounded by pine trees and lakes, ideal for nature lovers and technical players alike. Adjacent to the course is the luxurious SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort, where players and guests can enjoy wellness treatments, fine dining, and panoramic views in a five-star setting.

Club de Golf La Cañada, the first public course in the region, is a favourite among local players. With a layout designed in part by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Dave Thomas, it combines accessibility with challenging play and sweeping views over the Guadiaro River and the Mediterranean Sea. The club is also home to one of the best golf schools in Spain, nurturing young talent and promoting the sport across generations.

These courses together form one of the most complete golf destinations in Europe, known as part of Spain’s renowned “Costa del Golf”.

Beyond the fairways, Sotogrande offers an exceptional lifestyle: a cosmopolitan community, fine dining, beach clubs, polo, sailing, and a tranquil atmosphere.

With over 300 days of sunshine a year, it’s no wonder that Sotogrande has become a magnet for golfers, investors, and families seeking quality of life.

Please check the weather forecast and remember to bring sunscreen, a hat and a waterproof jacket if necessary. Sunscreen must be in cream or lotion form, as aerosols are not allowed at the event.

Whether you’re here to compete, spectate, or simply enjoy the surroundings, LIV Golf Andalucía 2025 is your opportunity to experience golf at its highest level in one of Europe’s most elegant settings.
