interesting for us, as it will be the final event
on European soil before the tour’s international
finale moves to China and Dubai. Its interest in a
sporting sense is complemented by the tourist
aspect, thanks to the positive effect it will
have on initiatives aimed at easing the seasonal
nature of tourism, because it is being held just
when the high season ends.” It is also likely to
be the only European Tour event in Spain this
year. The competition can reach a potential
audience of more than four hundred million
across five continents, so has huge value to
tourism in Spain. Every last detail has been thought of and
taken care of both on and off the course in
this exclusive members club. The fairways are
continuously and tirelessly worked on to ensure
the highest quality with over 100 bunkers. It is
a spectacular exclusive members course with
only a lucky few manage to feel its fairways
underfoot, as access is very restricted to only 36
visitors a day with green fees averaging €350.00
per person. In a worldwide survey, Golf Digest
asked players to name the course where they
would play for the rest of their lives; August was
first, Pebble Beach second and Valderrama, third.
The Valderrama challenge is exclusively limited
to club members and 36 visitors a day, but it
offers an irresistible lure. In a worldwide survey,
Golf Digest asked players to name the course
where they would play for the rest of their lives.
Augusta was first, Pebble Beach second and
Valderrama third. This is bucket list golf at its best, should the
invite come your way.
