Real Club De Golf De Sevilla - Sevilla

José María Olazábal's first effort at golf course design has turned into one of the region's finest courses. Real Club de Golf de Sevilla is a private club admitting green-fee paying visitors. The course is flat and open with plenty of water hazard and thousands of trees which provide ample shade from the fierce summer heat.

The par-4 sixth and 15th holes are said to be most difficult while the third is undoubtedly the most spectacular hole, with its green entirely surrounded by water. Real Club's other great advantage is its proximity to Andalucia's capital city. Seville. In 2004 this course was the venue for the World Cup.

How to get there: At 3.2 of the Sevilla-Utrera highway, turn off at the petrol station where there is a sign for the golf course, which is one kilometre farther on.
