Golf courses played on this tournament

Golf Santa Marina, San Vicente de la Barquera - La Revilla - SGC001

Designed by Seve Ballesteros, who lives about 50k away and plays here about once a fortnight, this is an absolute stunner of a course. Sandwiched between the sea and mountains, it is pretty tough but hugely enjoyable. With elevated tees, loads of water and plenty of tricky doglegs to negotiate, you should enjoy the challenge. And, however many balls you've lost, you'll also enjoy the stunning 16thC clubhouse after your round. Restaurant closed Mon (Oct-May).

Real Club de Golf Pedreña - SGC002

This course was designed by Harry Colt and enjoys a spectacular location on a small peninsular jutting into the Bay of Santander. It is also where Seve Ballesteros learnt to hone his remarkable skills and is in fact a wonderful experience and a treat not to be missed! It is by no means a long course but is definitely a difficult, testing one. Quite hilly with an abundance of trees and rough, every golfer will enjoy the challenge on what is one of the top quality courses in this region.
