Valderrama is consistently talked about in the same light as Morfontaine or De Pan as continental Europe’s best golf course, and upon visiting, one can see why. Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s beautiful routing weaves its way through the Spanish hills and cypress trees in the same corridors as Colin Montgomery’s classy 1997 Ryder Cup performance, or numerous Volvo Masters champions. The par 3’s are incredibly varied, with the par 3, 15th being a standout not just in Spain or Europe, but worldwide.​
