Valle Romano Golf Club – Estepona – Costa Del Sol

Valle Romano Golf Club has finally opened and Golf Experience has had the pleasure of playing this wonderful addition to the Costa’s stock of courses.

Cabell Robinson who also designed the nearby Finca Cortesin and La Reserva courses etched this championship course from land just west of Estepona.

It has many of the characteristics of both La Reserva and Finca Cortesin and we were also pleasantly surprised with the high level of service and attention to detail.

Its fairways and generous and greens and big and undulating. The course is long at 6000m off the yellows. Our only slight reservation would be the unsightly apartments which are a little too close to a couple of fairways. Apart from that the Real Estate is unobtrusive.

The clubhouse is also an architectural gem. Golf Experience has great value introductory rates of €55 valid till mid May.  Buggies are not included but required.

Valle Romano Golf Course Estepona Designed by Cabell B. Robinson. Opened in 2010. Par 72. 6000 metres from yellows.

The Valle Romano Golf Course has been created by Cabell B. Robinson, whose projects include many prestigious courses in Spain (Sotogrande La Reserva among other) This course has been designed to be part of the European Tour. Its fairways can adapt to players of all levels and it has large greens. The course is located in the flattest part of the complex and goes from an elevation of 116 to one of 50. One of the design objectives was to create a course that could be enjoyed by all golfers, from the lowest handicap to the highest. To achieve this, an average of 5 tee platforms have been constructed per hole and the greens are large (with an average size of 500 m2, although the largest reaches 1.000 m2). The greens, with their gentle but long slopes and large number of flag positions, are designed so that each hole on the course can be easy or very difficult.

   Recently played this new course, some tough holes and a few too many bunkers for me and my pals, Front 9 slightly spoiled by the building works, ( couldnt get on the 3rd tee as the builders were holding a meeting there !! ) the back nine were excellent, very pretty to play and apart from a couple of longish uphill holes great fun. I will be back in june to try again. well worth a visit
