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 m 2 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 .
