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 is ranked 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!

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.
